I've always recommended Solar Insulation for tint until they did not guarantee their warranty. I will not be using this company in the future. Update after response: The warranty clearly states "the material and workmanship" that was issued by your company, not the manufacturer of the tint. The discounted amount was $400 to remove and replace tint per my husband. Regardless of the length of time I have a warranty for the full length of my ownership.

Very professional and courteous. We used Solar Insulation eight years ago and were surprised to see the same technician back. To us that said a lot about this business and their ability to retain quality employees. Highly recommended. Service: Sun control window tinting
