About
Firstly, "service" is the key word here. It is my goal to serve the customer and to have them happy with their investment. I specialize in residential and commercial window film and tinting. My clients usually have issues relating to the sun:
TOO MUCH HEAT,
GLARE,
FADING,
LACK OF PRIVACY,
and sometimes all four!
I help remedy these issues that can really deter the quality of life.
I am not an auto-tinter and that is a key difference!
I have the expertise, tools and ladders for residential and commercial applications, as well as a solid understanding how a house/building works. I know how the sun works in relation to someone's home or business.
I am very professional and have been in thousands of homes and businesses. With that being said, I also like to focus on one project per day. As the owner, I will personally be onsite at every consultation and every installation. In the end I give my personal guarantee that the work will be done expertly!

Mr.Kolenburg was a peasure to work with.We have had windowtinting on our prior homes windows before moving and had some knowledge on the process.He was very knowledgeable, methodical in his work,professional, We respected his price of job without price gauging when so many people are in food lines,out of work etc which is why we did not chose another company with a similar product.Mr.Kolenburg did a great install,wore a mask,booties cleaned up as he went alongand gave us a great product and finished job.We asked him for his business cards to give to other new homeowners in our new neighborhood We seldom give out reviews but this man who owns this company earned our respect and graditude.K.Schneible Spartanburg S.C.

Thanks Randy! I have been to your house multiple times over the years and each time is a pleasure. Always working hard and always improving.
I am glad you are happy with the safety film installation, it can be difficult sometimes on the wooden window frames. Until next time!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge based on square footage. When I measure the glass to be filmed, I come up with a total square footage amount and inform the customer.
I usually don't charge extra for ladders, but will charge extra if a scaffold or lift is required. I would have to rent those, thus extra expense.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I meet with a new customer, be it at their residence or work space, I first get to know who they are and what their concerns are.
With my products (window film/tinting), there is a range of: heat reduction levels, visible light transmission levels (VLT or how dark the tint is), the amount of metals or ceramics in the film...many different factors. As each person is different and has different needs, I need to know what exactly the customer wants from the performance of the film down to the aesthetics (how the film will look once applied).
I have to measure the glass in person and get the scope of the project. Knowing what ladders are needed, an idea how long the project will take and the amount of materials to purchase are all crucial to get the job done right the first time.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I spent five years with a company that specializes in residential/commercial window film installation. I was the lead salesman as well as the head of installation by the time I left to pursue my own business.
A lot of on the job training as well as seminars and classes has well equipped me to tackle any type of project from solar control (heat, glare, uv), safety and security, to decorative and privacy.
