Booking and appointments
All services are by appointment. A 20% deposit reserves an automotive appointment; see our Deposit & Cancellation Policy for the full terms.
Pricing
Prices shown on this site are “starting at” figures, not quotes. Your final price depends on your specific vehicle or property, the windows selected, and the condition of the glass. We confirm the price before starting work.
Window film and the law
We install to Illinois law. We will tell you what is and is not legal for your vehicle before we cut anything. If you hold a medical exemption, you must provide the Illinois Secretary of State documentation before we can perform exempt work — we are required to obtain and retain it.
The tint-law information on this site is general guidance, not legal advice.
Flat glass and thermal stress
Applying film to architectural glass carries a risk of thermal stress and fracture. This is why a free onsite inspection is mandatory before we quote any residential or commercial project. When you approve a quote you will sign a written glass-risk acknowledgment before installation begins.
Warranty
Film warranty terms vary by product, from 5 years to lifetime. Our warranty covers peeling, cracking, bubbling caused by film failure, discolouration, and our own installation workmanship. It does not cover nicks, scratches, cuts, tears or other physical damage after installation. It applies to the original purchaser only and does not transfer if the vehicle is sold.
Curing period
Film typically cures in 3–5 days, and longer in cold weather. Bubbles, moisture and haziness during this period are normal and are not defects. Please allow the curing period to pass before reporting a concern.
Your belongings
Interior stickers and suction-cup accessories are removed before installation and returned to you loose. We do not reinstall them. Please remove valuables from your vehicle before your appointment.
Limitation of liability
Our liability for any claim relating to a service is limited to the amount you paid for that service.
