"Marvel did an incredible job on my tint. He educated me on the differences between the tint shades and glass type to help me decide what I wanted for my car. He also does ceramic coating as well! I liked how he gave updates on his work progress so that you can plan your day accordingly."

"I had my Ford Fusion’s windshield tinted at The Tint House, and they did an excellent job. The staff was friendly and professional, and the tint looks amazing. The process was quick, and the difference in glare and heat reduction is noticeable. I highly recommend them for quality tint and great prices!"

"Jasper Taunt: Just got my car back, I got a tint a new head unit and my sub installed as well as a few extras for my 2010 Subaru WRX! This is my review from the over all service I got from mark who was very happy to help me get done exactly what i wanted, and the pricing is really the best for getting custom work done, their audio guy jimmy did a super clean install as well, im very happy and would recommend others to get work done at this shop. I will be referring people for sure! There was a bit of goo left over from the tint, it would have been nice to make sure that was cleaned up but not a big deal at all, they also have a lifetime warranty on the tint and 1 year on the stereo work."

"I recently took my 2025 KIA Sorento in to have the windows tinted and all the chrome blacked out, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! This guy is a true master of his craft, which is hard to come by these days. The attention to detail and quality of work exceeded my expectations. My car looks amazing, and it’s clear that he takes pride in delivering top-notch service. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to make their vehicle stand out with professional, flawless work!"
