Hill Country Window Tinting
 
Hill Country Tinting is a superb company and Jeffery was such a great guy. The tinting was completed in the time he said it would be done. We are a couple of weeks since it was installed and I had to raise my thermostat by two degrees as the scorching sun was diminished!! More savings! Thanks Jeff. If I need more, you are the only one I would call. I would be glad to be your reference!

I can’t possible rate this company highly enough. I own a bar downtown on a corner with a ton of foot traffic, so, high quality work was a big concern and Hill Country Tinting more than exceeded my expectations. They were able to come in and apply a colored tint to my windows quickly, expertly and at a rate that I still can’t believe. If you need any commercial tinting, you will definitely not be disappointed.

Hill Country Tinting did an amazing job in my master bedroom. Prior to them installing the tint, my master bedroom was extremely hot from noon until 6:00 p.m., even in the winter. After the tint installation , I am able to enjoy my bedroom during the daytime. The temperature difference is astonishing. I would most definitely recommend Hill Country Tinting to anyone who needs their home windows tinted.

Our History

In 1986 I had a small auto detailing business on the west side of Indianapolis. One day a regular customer came in with a new Mustang for me to apply a no wax finish. He also wanted me to get the car tinted. Since window tinting was something new to me, I did some research and found a trim shop offering that service. I asked the trim shop owner if I could watch the film being applied to the new car. As I watched I was intrigued and thought this was something I could add to our product line. It took me six months to figure it out. Back then there wasn’t You Tube or social media to help you along.


In 1989 our window film rep contacted us and asked if we were willing to install film on a commercial building. I never knew you could do this. Once I applied the film to the building, I was hooked! I was amazed on how much of a difference it made for glare control and heat rejection.

It was then I decided to change the company. I brought in my wife to help manage the company allowing me to focus on applying film to homes and commercial buildings. Business kept growing, we expanded to larger facilities. Eventually we grew to three locations within Indianapolis. We had managers at each location which allowed me to expand the business on the window film side. Our business was still 80% automotive including detailing, window tinting and auto accessories.


1997 we decided to sell the business. It sold in 1998 and the family pulled up stakes and moved to Texas. With my passion for window film still strong, I decided to start a new window film company that specialized on residential and commercial application only. That business grew exceptionally well becoming one of the top 10 window film installation companies in Texas.


2009 I felt it was time for me to sell the business and possibly leave the industry. After a short while the industry pulled me back in. I worked for an energy saving company offering many services including window film. I also did contract work for people I knew in the industry around Texas.


Working for someone was not something I was used to. The entrepreneurial bug bit me again. Hill Country Tinting was established in 2014. Our focus is commercial and residential applications. We also install on autos, boats, and RV’s. 


In 2022 we decided to move to a different state. Our children are now settled with their families around the country and Tennessee was in the middle of everyone.. We chose Lawrenceburg and moved the business. We are really excited about this move and are working on being involved within the community.


With this move we have decided to no longer do automotive installations. To be quite honest, the cars are getting smaller and I am not.


Throughout the years I have had some great experiences with window film. I have met many famous people, been in their homes. My fingerprints are on many well-known buildings such as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Circuit of the Americas, LBJ Library, LBJ Texas Whitehouse. I have applied blast mitigation film on many government buildings and anti-intrusion film on many schools. In 2022 alone I have installed anti intrusion films to 12 schools throughout Texas. Anti Intrusion films are designed to keep people from forcibly entering a building to create havoc. It is all about protecting the children.


With over 30 years in the industry I am constantly looking for more information. I am an accredited installer for many window film brands. The International Window Film Association has an accreditation program and I am a Master Installer through the IWFA.
