What we do
Three ways to stay in the shade.
One trusted shop for every pane of glass you own — tap a card to see what's inside.
The Arizona difference
Glass without film is a heat magnet.
Untreated windows let the desert sun pour in. Our solar-control film reflects and absorbs that energy before it ever reaches you — so cabins, living rooms and offices stay livable when it's 115° outside.

Frequently asked
Is window tint legal in Arizona?
Yes — Arizona allows tint within state limits, which vary by window and vehicle type. We tint to a legal, great-looking spec and walk you through the options for your specific car or building.
How much heat does tint actually reject?
Premium ceramic and solar-control films can reject the majority of incoming solar heat and block up to 99% of UV — a dramatic difference you feel immediately in an Arizona summer.
Do you warranty your work?
Absolutely. Our films carry a manufacturer limited-lifetime warranty, and our installs are backed by a written labor guarantee.
How long does an install take?
Most vehicles are done same-day. Home and commercial timelines depend on square footage — we'll give you a clear estimate up front, free.
