or he's just covering his azz so no one lurking here snakes the job out from under him. :bingo

finally someone with some common sense. I see competitors on here talking about jobs they are bidding and asking how to bid it. I just laugh to myself as I am heading to the job that they didn't get. So I really don't think the specific area really matters to get some info on installers.

Count me out, I was hoping you were the end customer. Why wouldnt you just want the job for yourself?

its a 20k square feet job, some help would be nice. I'll fly out there to make a few grand, I can use a few days out of the shop.

20 k s/f is a good hit if you can close the deal. I can not imagine there would be any problem getting people to help you with it. If you have a 3 man crew yourself, you should be able to bang it out in no time. Unless you are under some kind of time limitation tell custy its going to take 3 weeks and if you finish early you look like a champ

each prefesional tinter should be able to do about 500-600 sqft per day when it comes to commerical tinting. the most I did was 800 in 14 straight hours...so figure an 8 hour day with a lunch break is 7 hours work time...that would be 400 sp ft per day.

I'm in the midwest.. have a crew of 5 or 6 available that can help..

I'm an installer, but work for a major midwest distributor.. we have dealer networks all over the midwest that can help with the install... we have 5 or 6 of our own guys that can hang it if you're concerned about losing the job to a competitor.

either way PM me with some more details and I'll put you in touch with my boss (the owner of the company)

It is in the Midwest

Why would you post asking for help before the job is sold? Your original post sounded like you had the job.

      Residential Window Tint - Suntek SYDS vs. Solar Gard Slate vs. Madico Optivision

      Did you get this taken care of? What were the results and are you pleased?

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Take a look at 3M's Nightvision or LLumar's Dual Reflective series, they both have a warm tone to them.

      Steer clear of Black Armour, Suntek, ASWF. The others are good choices if you are in Australia. Check out the reviews of the installer too. It’s not just the materials that have to be proper. Never go for the cheapest!!!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Hey guys I am in the process of having window film installed in my home but have a question about which brand I should go with. Hoping yall can help me out. I have a room that faces a busy street and as a result my blinds pretty much always stay closed. I love having natural daylight but not so much people being able to see what i'm doing in my room/all my expensive equipment. I used to work in the window film industry as a helper/installer/salesman when I was in highschool and we did a lot residential/commercial work. The specific brand of film we used always left a certain blue and cool appearance. Is there any brand of residential film that does not have this effect? I mainly just cannot stand having blue light amplified and am looking for a film that has a neutral shade to it or even a warm/yellow hue. I have single pane windows and I do not necessarily care about heat rejection but if I have to pay more for a ceramic film rather than a dual reflective or a standard film I am willing to if that helps solve the issue. Again, any help is really appreciated with this there are so many new window film brands out there and it really is cool to see how far the industry has come.

      LLumar, 3M and Solargard have in the industry as far back as the genesis of window film mid-1960's). Solargard is the younger of the three and all others came to play in the last 20 or so years. I've had all three on my vehicles over the years and my current is 3M Crystalline on my Jeep since 2015. It still has stable color, scratch coat is holding strong and impeccable adhesive clarity. Never been garaged. My choice toady would be 3M or LLumar.

      Hook up with Glassy Business and get all the ins and outs of pro vs DIY with window film. That company goes back way before my retirement in 2015. I want to believe they are/were a Vista Film dealer and I cannot remember the owner's name. Peace out.

      Once more thank you, you are the best I been looking at the specs for the products you mention and info into tinting a window. I recently did wrap my wife's car and it turn out really nice, for what I have been seeing tinting a window is similar and I am tempted to do it myself. With that said I can't find any place to buy the products you mention, I found quite a few films in Amazon but they seem sketchy. There is other web sites selling films but the ones you mention I can’t locate, anyhow is there any place where I can buy this products?
