Mike and Jeff were the only outfit that was willing to make the trip up to get this done. It's bad, folks. Even Yelp doesn't recommend hardly any Milwaukee companies because they frankly don't want the business. They want to make friends. And they're sensitive. It's infuriating. Because as long as I get what I want and the service is upper level, I'm perfectly willing to pay...but I want what I want. With Excel, that's what you get. Mike was clear: if he comes up, he has to charge for the trip. And that's fine. Transparency is key. It's not a problem as long as you're upfront about it. Upon arrival he had options ready to choose from, and I'm not new to tinting overall, but I wanted a specific look both in and out. Both of the sample cards looked really nice, but the Llumar seemed better suited for the future exterior appearance. Didn't take too long before I had all windows fully tinted (see photos) and they cleaned up 99.9% of what was left (just a bit of water, no big deal). I advised them, once I can find a non-sensitive vendor to replace the rest of the windows I'd be more than delighted to have them back to tint those with the same Llumar. It was refreshing to work with a company that actually WANTS business and is willing to do quality work after so many frustrating encounters with Wisconsin companies. Meanwhile...just some notes. I can't stress enough: reflective film completely changes the look of the windows. Even high-end windows don't look 100% if they don't have reflective. You do need to be mindful about how it changes interior lighting, and plan accordingly. Some people are a bit shell-shocked at the decrease in natural light; that's the tradeoff for privacy (which was my primary goal). At night, you still get a measure of privacy, because unless you've got full-blast lighting inside and white walls, it's dim looking in and you can't really make out full details. So you can even control nighttime privacy by going with more earthy colors on the walls so that light refraction is minimized. Drapes are when you want to maximize privacy, obviously. But now you only need to draw them at night vs. using them to block natural light.

Ceramic tint was a must-have for me. After getting a few quotes, Umbra came back with the most competitive price for high-end ceramic tint. A quick phone call later, I was scheduled within two days. The entire process took just two hours, exactly as promised. I have to say their communication was excellent. Prompt responses, along with helpful text and email reminders leading up to the appointment. They even offered a nice referral discount since we heard about them through a good friend. Now I'm considering getting our second car tinted too. If you're looking to tint your car or add protective film, look no further. Umbra is the place to go. 'Til next time, cheers!

I have used the Yelp app for years to get quotes on projects such as this one and it came in real handy.

The manager Ned was also very knowledgeable and helpful and they took care of both my cars the same day and were done with both by the time that the other stores would be done by one of them. Thanks again to Nino and Ned and the team at Umbra for the exceptional work and experience.
