Shade guide

Every shade from 70% to 5%

Lower % means darker. We install the full range — here's what each shade looks like and what Washington law says, so you can make the call.

70%
Nearly clear. Heat and UV blocking without changing the look.
WA legal: all windows
50%
Light and subtle. A touch of tint with great visibility at night.
WA legal: all windows
35%
The classic tinted look, close to the legal limit on factory glass.
WA legal: all windows
20%
Dark and private. Great for back seats and cargo areas.
WA legal: SUV/truck rear
5%
Limo. Maximum privacy behind the driver.
WA legal: SUV/truck rear
Know the law before you choose: Washington requires front side windows to let at least 24% of light through (measured through the film and glass together), and on sedans that applies to every window. SUVs, trucks, and vans can go darker behind the driver with dual side mirrors. We install the full 70%–5% range — ask us and we'll walk you through the tradeoffs for your vehicle.
The film matters

Why we only install STEK

STEK is the same premium film maker behind the paint protection film we're certified to install. Their tint uses nano-ceramic and nano-carbon instead of dyes — so it stays clear and true to color for the life of your car.

FAQ

Window tint questions

Still wondering? Call or text (509) 380-8949.

How much does window tint cost?

For 4 side windows + rear glass: STEK ACTION Carbon from $499, SMART Ceramic from $549, and NEX Ceramic from $849. Just the front two windows, or front two + rear glass, costs less. Old tint removal is extra. Use the form above for your exact price.

How dark can I legally go in Washington?

Front side windows must let at least 24% of light through, measured through the film and glass together. On sedans that applies to every window. SUVs, trucks, and vans can go darker behind the driver. We install every shade from 70% to 5% and will walk you through the tradeoffs.

How long does it take?

Most vehicles are done the same day. We'll give you a pickup time at drop-off based on your vehicle and how many windows we're tinting.

When can I roll my windows down?

We'll give you exact aftercare at pickup. Film needs a few days to fully cure, so plan to keep the windows up for a bit and expect some haze or small water pockets that clear on their own.

Can you remove my old tint?

Yes. If your current tint is purple, bubbling, or peeling, we can strip it and install fresh film. Removal is an additional charge on top of the tint install — mention it in your quote request and we'll include it in your price.

Does tint come with a warranty?

Yes. Every STEK film we install carries a limited lifetime warranty against fading, bubbling, cracking, and peeling. We'll go over the details before we start.

Beat the heat this year.
