How Much Does It Cost to Tint Your Office Windows?

Breaking Down the Cost to Tint Office Windows 

It's hard to pin down an exact price for office window tinting. Depending on the specifics of your windows (and the tint you choose), you can expect to pay anywhere between $8 to over $15 per square foot. 

Does that price range seem too wide?



It's because there are a number of factors that can affect the cost, including the following:

Type of Film 

The first step of tinting your office windows is choosing what type of film you want to use. Some of the most common window films include: 

• Non-reflective 
• Reflective 
• Ceramic 
• Decorative 
• Security 
• Mirror 

Each of these different types come with their own pros and cons (and their own price tag). For example, security film tends to be the most expensive option, so if you have a tight budget, you should stick with something cheaper, such as non-reflective window film, instead. 

Size of the Windows

Windows that are tall or wide require a lot more film, which will raise the price.



However, large windows also take more time and effort to tint. The window tinter might need to use special tools or ladders that increase the risk of injury. Because of this, the cost of labor will also go up for these windows. 

Number of Windows

How many windows do you want to tint?



If you want to tint the entire building at the same time, you're looking at an expensive job (especially if the windows are big!). You may want to tint a few windows at a time to make the job more affordable. 

Condition of the Windows

If your windows are dirty or damaged, you'll have to fix those problems before the window tinting professional can apply any film. This will add an extra cost to the process. 



The longer the window tinter has to spend cleaning the glass, the longer the job will take. And the longer the job takes, the more money you'll have to spend. 

Can You Save Money by Tinting Your Office Windows Yourself?

You may be tempted to try applying window tint yourself in the name of saving money. But you should think twice before you do this. 



Tinting your windows (even if they're small) is a tricky job. If you don't have the right tools or know-how, it's easy to make a mistake. While the film might look fine as you're applying it, you may accidentally trap water under the surface, which can cause it to bubble. The film may also start peeling or rippling, making it difficult to see through them. 



This can hurt your business in a few ways. 



First of all, you'll end up spending more money in the long run. You'll have to hire a professional to come out and repair the window film, which means you're spending double on the tint itself. 



Leaving damaged film on your windows won't allow you to reap the benefits of the tint. So you'll end up wasting money on film that isn't doing you much good. 



On top of that, bubbled or peeling window tint just doesn't look nice. Customers judge your business based on the first impression they get of your building, and if they see bubbled windows, they might not even make it through the doors. 



It's worth spending a bit of extra money on professional window tinting services than trying to DIY it. 

How to Choose the Right Window Tinting Company for Your Business

If you just pick the first window tinting company you stumble across on Google, you may end up with a below-average company that uses low-quality film. You have to spend a bit of time doing some research to ensure you get a company that'll provide top-notch services. 



Start by searching for window tinting companies in your area. Then create a list of your top (at least three) choices. As you continue to learn more about the companies, you can narrow these choices down to your favorite. 

Read Reviews 

Look up each company on review sites, such as Yelp, and find out what their past customers had to say. If they have a lot of negative reviews, you should drop that company and focus on the ones that have positive reviews instead. 

Set up an "Interview" 

Give each company a call, or visit their office in person, and ask them a lot of questions. This will help you get to know the company, how they work, and whether or not you feel comfortable trusting them with your money. 

Here are a few questions you should ask: 

• How much experience do you have?
• Do you have the necessary insurance, licensing, etc.? 
• How much do you charge?
• Can you provide referrals?
• How long will the job take?



A company should be willing and able to answer all these questions. If they avoid them, you may want to take your business somewhere else. 

Shop Around 

Don't just choose the cheapest quote you get (cheaper almost never means better). Compare quotes until you find one that matches your budget and gets you quality services.
