4.8 — based on Google reviews

Our storefront went from a greenhouse to comfortable in one afternoon. The crew worked around our hours and left the glass spotless.

Marisol R.

Got quotes from four shops. TWT was the only one that explained the film specs instead of just pushing the darkest option.

Dan K.

Whole house done in a day. The west-facing rooms are finally usable in the afternoon and the view didn't change at all.

TWT Frequently Asked Questions

Answers Before You Commit

Is window film legal for homes and businesses in California?

Yes. California's tint restrictions apply to vehicle glass, not architectural glass. Homes, offices, storefronts, and other buildings can use any shade or type of film, including fully reflective and blackout products.

What's the difference between 3M and LLumar film?

Both are premium, factory-backed brands. 3M tends to lead on ultra-clear spectrally selective films that reject heat without darkening glass, while LLumar offers a broader range of decorative, safety, and exterior-grade products at competitive price points. As a dual-brand authorized dealer we recommend whichever fits your goal, not whichever we happen to stock.

How long does a typical installation take?

A few residential rooms usually take 2–4 hours. A whole home is typically a single day. Commercial storefronts run one to three days depending on square footage, and large office buildings are phased so your operations aren't interrupted.

Will residential window tinting make my home too dark?

No. Modern spectrally selective films reject the majority of solar heat while staying nearly invisible. If you want your view and natural light unchanged, we'll show you clear heat-rejection options during your free estimate.

Does window film really reduce energy costs?

Yes. Solar control film blocks a large share of the infrared heat coming through glass, which reduces the load on your HVAC system. Savings depend on window count, orientation, and exposure — your free on-site estimate will give you exact numbers for your property.

Do you offer free on-site estimates?

Always. We come to your home or business, measure the glass, walk you through film options, and leave you with a written quote. There is no charge and no obligation.

What's covered under the lifetime warranty?

Manufacturer-backed coverage against bubbling, peeling, cracking, delamination, and excessive color change, plus our own workmanship guarantee on the installation itself. We register your warranty on the spot at project walkthrough.

Do you service both Orange County and LA County?

Yes. We operate licensed locations in Santa Ana for Orange County and North Hollywood for Los Angeles County, covering both counties for commercial and residential work.
