After film ceramic 50

I highly recommend Bryan from Advanced Solar Technologies. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the entire experience was professional and seamless. We chose the Ceramic 50 window film, which provides a subtle tint while significantly reducing heat and blocking 99.9% of UV rays. Bryan uses high quality Hüper Optik materials and clearly knows his craft, with more than 25 years of experience. He was knowledgeable, attentive to every detail, and a pleasure to work with. We are extremely happy with the final result and would definitely recommend Bryan and his work.

Working on attaching the tint to the window
Wendee M.

I called Bryan a couple weeks ago, based on the positive reviews here on Yelp. My rental home is in Oceanside, and I had a dog who scratched the window tint off my 10 foot sliding glass door. The tint was about 10 years old and it was a mess. It also wasn't very dark and the heat from the sun warmed the room. The phone number on Yelp for Advanced Solar Technologies is Bryan's cell phone, so to my surprise, Bryan answered the phone. Since I live in Oceanside, I didn't want him to make an extra trip to show me the different kinds of tint that he could put on my window. We determined that I would use a "Ceramic 35 tint" to block 65% of the light. A 10 foot window sliding glass door cost me $450 to re-tint with this extraordinary ceramic dark tint; other tints he offered were less expensive, but I wanted something that was crisp, and extraordinarily durable. That price included the materials and labor, driving to my house and spending hours scraping off the old tint, which is no easy task. I thought the price was so reasonable for top-of-the-line installation. I stayed at the house while Bryan spent a lot of time scraping off 80 ft.² of old tint. Then he showed me the tint from Germany that he was going to install. It was so much fun, watching him and learning about how he got into the business many years ago. Bryan is a true professional. He's a stickler for details. He knows what he's doing and he was very confident in every part of the install. He arrived at 11 and he left at 2 o'clock. My room is cooler now, the window is clear with no bubbles or streaks, and it looks like the window was made that way. The 10' sliding door is from 1979 and I have no plans on replacing now. When the next dog scratches this tint, I will be called Bryan again to replace whatever is needed, one side, or both sides. At least I know it will match and it will be done right. I hope that doesn't happen as he says this tint will last at least 10 to 15 years. What a small price to pay for a beautiful window that blocks the sun's rays. Bryan explained to me that when you choose a car tinting company and technician to do your home windows, the skill sets are not the same. You want to choose a window tinting company and professional who does exclusively houses. That's what you get when you hire Bryan to tint your commercial or residential building. He's been in the business a long, long time, knows every aspect of sales, manufacturing, and installation. He's a young guy about 45 years old who has a lot of energy, is well educated with a College Degree, and an excellent business owner centered on customer satisfaction. I am satisfied, actually delighted.

Bryan? - yes, that is correct. Currently I have frosted plastic inserts but the adhesive keeps coming undone and bugs are falling behind them. So, wanting to do film that is frosted if possible - cannot see in or out but allows light in. Thanks

Yep, I do a lot of frost for that. Do you have the sizes?

Looking to have 2 residential windows tinted with frosted film .. unable to see in or out. I'm in a condo downtown San Diego. Do you offer this service? Thanks, Brandon Kortgard

Hì Brandon Are you looking for something like a frosted tint?… 

Can you quote me for uv film for my business doors?

Sure, where is your business located?

I just have to say WOW!! Wait until you see and feel the difference!…read more I bought my place a few years back and every year when it starts getting hot I dread it. My kids and I will run the air rarely, only on the hottest of days/nights or mostly sleep downstairs half naked when we want to have a lower utility bill or save the planet. I was talking to my friend who owns a large commercial building about saving money, going solar, etc. He told me he was tinting thousands of square feet of his windows because of the energy savings and short time frame for a significant return on his investment. He referred me to R|C who is now helping homeowners and residential customers achieve similar savings! R|C returned my call promptly and basically answered all of my questions as well as gave me an easy to understand tutorial about window films. I didn't know the type of film and the type of glass need to be considered for not only the highest energy savings but also for safety reasons. Too many people consider the darkness of the tint but not the properties of the tint. If you put the wrong type of tint on the windows the heat can't dissipate properly and the window can crack. Some tints are more reflective than others and some tints are clear but reject more heat so it won't alter one's beautiful view! The installer came out to my house and was very punctual. He had all of the tools and didn't require anything of me to get started. Sometimes people want to use the bathroom, get a drink of water, plug in their equipment using your extension cords, etc. R|C was self contained, locked, cocked and ready to rock! This dude looked like Picasso/Bruce Lee/80's break dancer as he bobbed and weaved, washing and scrubbing the glass! After getting it ready he applied the tint with painstaking detail given the large arch window he was working on. All in all I probably had 11 windows tinted that face the sun. It probably took him @ 3 hours to do them all. My french doors were a bit of a bear but he was good natured through it all. I'm. A big fan of being meticulous and so is R|C. As he said, "you look out of your windows everyday. If I use the wrong film or apply it incorrectly you'll see it and then your talk about it so it behooves me to do it right the first time." Wise words my friend. At the end of the day my house feels 10-15 degrees cooler! My electricity bill is lower and I have a little more privacy given the level of exterior reflectivity. Look at me sounding like a pro! Thanks R|C for a job well done. I'll show and tell everyone! If you are considering ways to cool down your house call R|C Window Films and have them tint your windows. Start with all of the windows facing the sun first if you need to break it up in to phases. It is relatively inexpensive and when it is done right the first time you'll thank me!

Hunter Douglas Roller Shades - Measurement Issues…read more We have owned Hunter Douglas shades in multiple homes and have always liked the quality of the products. This review is not about the shades themselves, but about the measurement and installation. We had previously worked with San Diego Shades and had a great experience, which makes this outcome especially disappointing. This time, instead of their technician, they sent the sales rep to do the measurements. All of the shades installed in our home were measured and cut slightly too small, leaving the wooden window frames visible on the sides when the shades are fully closed. While this may sound minor, it affects both the look and function of the shades. The issue is most noticeable in our bedroom, where we installed motorized room-darkening roller shades. Light still comes through the sides, which defeats the purpose of a room-darkening shade. I raised my concerns right after the upstairs bedroom installations, but the issue was dismissed with an explanation that didn't address the problem and did not and does not make sense. At the time, we were in the middle of multiple home projects, and I assumed I would eventually get used to them. I didn't -- and it continues to bother me every time I see them. When the downstairs shades were installed and had the same issue, I escalated the concern to a supervisor, and two of the cheaper shades were eventually replaced. Unfortunately, the bedroom shades were never corrected. Even now, the measurement issue is noticeable and frustrating. For a professional installation, I expected better attention to detail and follow-through. My advice: carefully review measurements and finished results before signing off.
