Residential Window Tinting Near Hollister & Gilroy
Santa Clara and San Benito County homes take on a lot of sun. Our family team has installed LLumar, Vista, and 3M architectural films for decades to cut heat, tame glare, and add daytime privacy without turning rooms dark.
Why Homeowners Choose Window Film
- Lower energy bills: Ceramic and dual-reflective films can trim solar heat gain by up to 79%, easing AC use in summer and keeping warmth inside during winter.
- UV and fade protection: Up to 99% UV blocking to help flooring, artwork, and furniture last longer.
- Privacy on street-facing glass: Maintain natural light while keeping neighbors and traffic from seeing in.
- Safety upgrade: Film holds glass together during break-ins or accidents and slows intruders.
- Glare reduction: Make home offices and TVs usable even with afternoon sun.
Film Options We Recommend
- Neutral ceramic films for heat rejection without a mirrored look.

What to Expect During Install

FAQs
How long do residential films last? Quality films often carry lifetime warranties when professionally installed and maintained.
Will my windows look dark? We match film to each room - many projects use lighter spectrally selective films that stay clear while blocking heat.
What does it cost? Projects are priced per square foot, generally between $2-$8 depending on film type, glass size, and access.
Care Tips
- Clean with mild soap and soft cloths - skip abrasives or ammonia.
- Avoid scraping the film with blades; use microfiber towels to prevent scratches.
- Schedule a quick inspection if you see lifting edges or bubbles; early fixes prevent replacements.
