Common questions
How much does window tinting cost in Hawaii?
Residential window film in Hawaii is priced per square foot of glass, not per window, so the cost depends on the total glass area and the film you choose. A few windows in one room is a small job; a whole house with sliding lanai doors is a much larger one. We measure and quote free of charge, and the quote is a fixed price — not an hourly rate.
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. Estimates are free and there is no obligation. For most residential jobs we can give you a firm number after a short visit to measure the glass; for commercial buildings we will walk the site with you and provide a written proposal including film specifications and warranty terms.
How long does installation take?
Most residential jobs are finished in a single day, and many in a few hours. A whole-house installation with large sliding doors may run into a second day. Commercial buildings are scheduled floor by floor around your operating hours. The film is handleable immediately and fully cured in a few weeks depending on humidity.
Do you tint cars?
No. Ace Glass Tinting works on flat glass only — homes, condominiums, commercial buildings, temples and boats. We do not tint vehicles. Automotive tinting is a different trade with different film, different tools and different law, and we would rather refer you to someone who does it properly than do it badly.
Warranty, in writing, before you commit
Professionally installed window film normally carries two separate warranties, and it pays to know which is which. The film manufacturer warrants the film. The installer warrants the installation. Different documents, different parties, different failures.
The manufacturer's film warranty
This one covers the film as a product — defects such as bubbling, peeling, cracking, delamination and color change. Terms differ by film and by manufacturer, and almost all of them require that the film was installed professionally rather than by the owner. We give you the manufacturer's own warranty document for the film we quote, so you read the real terms rather than our summary of them.
Our own workmanship
This one covers the installation rather than the film: contamination under the film, lifting edges, trimming, the finish along the frame. If something about our installation is not right, tell us and we will come back and put it right. That is between you and us, and it does not depend on anybody else.
What to ask any installer, us included
- Which part is the film warranty and which part is yours?
- Does it cover the labour to replace the film, or only the material?
- Does it survive a sale of the property or the boat?
- What voids it — cleaning products, exterior application, self-installed repairs?
Ask for the answers in writing. Any installer worth hiring will put them there without being pushed.
Our written quote names the film we intend to use and the warranty that comes with it. If you want to read the warranty terms before you commit to anything, ask for them along with the quote and we will send them.
