Our Process

Five steps.
No shortcuts.

Every install follows the same disciplined sequence. The difference between a good install and a great one lives in the prep — and the quiet inspection that follows.

FAQ

Questions we
get all the time.

What tint percentages are legal in New Hampshire? +
New Hampshire law currently prohibits aftermarket tint on windshields and the two front side windows on passenger vehicles. Rear side windows and the rear window may be tinted to any darkness. We walk through legality on every quote so you're never surprised at inspection.
What's the difference between carbon and ceramic IR film? +
We install two grades — both block 99% of UV, both are non-metallic, and both carry a lifetime warranty. Carbon film gives a matte carbon look with around 40% infrared heat rejection — a solid, comfortable choice. Ceramic IR is the flagship: nano-ceramic particles reject up to 85% of infrared heat — more than double the carbon — for a measurably cooler cabin with no metallic haze. For most drivers the ceramic upgrade is the easy call.
Will tint interfere with my defroster lines or antenna? +
No — both our carbon and ceramic IR films are non-metallic. They don't interfere with defrost grids, in-glass antennas, GPS, or cellular signal. If your car has factory embedded defroster lines, we install around them with no disruption.
How long before I can roll my windows down? +
We recommend leaving your windows up for at least 3 to 5 days after install while the adhesive fully cures. Small water bubbles or slight haziness during the cure period are normal and clear on their own — never poke or press them. We walk you through aftercare before you leave the shop.
Will the tint bubble or peel over time? +
Not when it's installed correctly with quality film. Bubbling and peeling are signs of poor installation or low-grade film. Our carbon and ceramic IR films carry a lifetime warranty — if any defect appears, the film is replaced at no cost.
How long does the install take? +
A full window tint on a sedan typically runs 2 to 4 hours. SUVs, coupes with complex rear windows, and trucks can take a little longer. We give you an exact timeline with your quote.
