    Anybody have any recommendations for a residential tinting service? I have a few windows that need tinting in the house. If they also do automotive tint, then I can kill two birds with one stone.

    Thanks.

    Hey Clay,

    My friend Corey Garcia who owns Garcia tinting should be able to help you out. He's done a few cars for me and does amazing work. I'm not 100% sure he does residential, but I really think he does.

    He leases space from the Radio Active Stereo shops that are on the southside of town, so if you were to look up Radio Active in Locust Grove and call there, they usually know which shop he's at and which day. He also has a myspace page for the business, so you could look for that. But I'd give him a call because if he can't help you, he surely knows who can.

    Hope that helps...

    there is a tinting place on 41 across from the Saturn dealer. They are a little pricey, but do top notch work. They specialize in home/office AND auto.

    I want to say it's Custom Sun Control. That's all I can remember. They did the tint on my VW and it was phenomenal.

    Are you wanting to tent more for privacy or, glare reduction or, to reduce heat?

    I was thinking of going with ceramic tent to reduce heat so I can keep my place cooler.

    Tinting any residential windows will void any and all window manufacturer,s warranties. But there are tons of people who do it. And I can't see ever having to need to use a raidential window warranty in the atl area.

    Just keep it in mind if u ever wanna sell the house.

    Most of the windows in our house are tinted to reduce UV light exposure on our hardwood floors and cut down on heat. One of our large 36 x 72 windows broke (long story) and it was previously tinted. We have waited over a year to have the new one tinted and the fading on the wood stair rail is apparent. Pretty nuts...so, we're finally getting around to re-tinting, as well as add a few windows which didn't get done on the first go-around.

    Good point, but, for us, with all floors being hardwood on the first level as well as some paintings and other valuable items in the path of direct sun, the benefit of window tint greatly out weighed the advantages of a warranty.

    Don't disagree with u one bit. In fact if it were me, I'd have all my windows tinted, if not completely privacy. Just thought I'd mention it. Please post up what u wind up doing. I'm interested to see how much something like that runs.

    +1 I'm about to have all my windows replaced. After that, I'll be inclined to put a little privacy glass on them to keep people from seeing my junk.

    I went with Hot Spot Tinting (http://www.hotspottinting.com/). They did my previous WRX and I was happy. I had them come out to the house last week and tint a few windows in the house as well as my car in my garage at the same time. Fantastic job all around and I would highly recommend them. Give them a buzz!

    I don't have any...but I can take some, if you'd like. The tint on the house is about the same percentage wise and has a slight reflective quality from the inside.

    Not aware of any discounts. That's a decent price, as far as I'm concerned.
