Wow thank you for the comment about the tax advantage. I'll definitely have this noted for my taxes. And thank you for the recommendation for Madico Optivision. For $47 more, I would not mind going with them after what you said. On that Madico proposal, I've been going back and forth about the Front Bedroom. These windows NEED to have a mirror like finish and I'm between the 25 and 35. The 25 is definitely very mirrorlike, but I'm afraid it might be too much for a set of windows facing the street, so possibly the 35 would be better? What are your thoughts? Attaching a picture of the front windows that currently have this Kespen tint I bought off Amazon. Which of the 25 or 35 would be closest to this finish? I'm okay with doing 25 on the Master Bedroom though since it's in the back of the house and facing West. I don't have any neighbors directly behind me due to it being a greenspace where a pipeline runs underground. I've had the samples up and keep going back to look at them, but it's sometimes hard to tell. I don't have a sample of the 45 for the living room, but I think that's as high as it goes, so I'm fine with 45 to allow max amount of natural light through.

Thanks. I am slightly leaning towards the Suntek now due to the installer dropping the price a bit for me. He's willing to do $1,365 plus tax. Or if I pay cash, then tax will be excluded. Slate and Optivision installer says there's no sales tax because "Residential is non-taxable in Texas because the film is considered a home improvement"

Does anyone have any issues or complaints regarding these tints? Which one is better? I've gotten quotes from different installers for the same amount of panes and price is roughly the same. I'm in Houston, TX. Mixed reviews about Suntek is throwing me off, but many people in my neighborhood as well as our surrounding area have used this installer. A neighbor showed me pics of her recent install and it didn't look bad. The installer quoting Solar Gard and Madico is part of a larger national chain, so they have access to a lot of different films. Suntek SYDS - $1,417.50 Solar Gard Slate - $1,578.00 Madico Optivision - $1,412.00
