Pick your protection
We quote the actual vehicle or the actual glass, not a category, and tell you what we would do if it were ours.
Book your slot
A two front window job waits in the lobby. Coating, PPF and property work get a scheduled window so the prep is done right.
Inspect and approve
We walk it with you before you take the keys. Tint gets metered and the reading goes in your hand.

Straight answers
Questions we get every week
What tint is legal in North Carolina?
35% VLT is the legal minimum on front side windows for most passenger vehicles, and that is what we install as standard. We meter your glass after the install and show you the reading before you pull out. Full breakdown in our 2026 NC tint law guide.
Is tint still checked at the state inspection?
No. As of December 1, 2025, window tint is no longer measured during the annual North Carolina safety inspection and the tint testing fee is gone. The limit itself did not change. Officers can still meter your glass roadside and illegal tint is still a Class 3 misdemeanor, so getting it done at legal 35% is still the right call.
How is ceramic coating different from wax?
Wax sits on top of the paint and washes off in a couple of months. A ceramic coating bonds to the clear coat and stays there for years, with sharper gloss, real UV resistance and a surface that sheds water instead of holding it. More in ceramic coating vs wax.
What exactly is in the Signature Protection Package?
Full front paint protection film on the hood, fenders and front bumper, plus ceramic coating on every remaining painted surface. Quoted on your specific vehicle, because coverage and panel size change the job.
Do you do homes and businesses too?
Yes. Residential window film for heat, glare, fading and daytime privacy, and commercial film for offices, storefronts and fleets. Same crew, same film lines, same warranty.
How long does my vehicle need to be here?
Two front windows is a short appointment and most people wait in the lobby. A full vehicle tint is roughly half a day. Ceramic coating and the Signature Package are scheduled drop offs, because the prep work is most of what makes the result last.
Do you warranty the work?
Yes. There is a workmanship warranty on every install, and the film carries a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling and purpling for as long as you own the vehicle.
