They are very professional and timely. **★★★★★ — Claudette A, Dec. 2016** > Great Company that provides exceptional service in a professional, courteous and friendly fashion!!!!! > > We're going to hire them to do our cabin in Spring 2017. **★★★★★ — jsikora74, May 2016** > Solar Shield was awesome to work with when it came to having tint put on my new vehicle windows. The gentlemen that work there knew exactly what product of tint would be best and did an exceptional job at putting it on. They have done 2 of my vehicles so far and they for sure will have my future business for other cars/trucks. **★★★★★ — User, April 2016** > I used Solar Shield to install UV protective film on all the windows in my new home in Oct 2011 and again for a small addition in Apr 2015. I used a different sun control company at my former home and got quotes from both for my current home. I found that Solar Shield was much more responsive and better priced than the other company. I was also impressed with the quality of their work. The Solar Shield installers trimmed the film closer to the edges of the windows, so that it is less visible. They showed up on time, were very courteous, and were clean and efficient. I would definitely use them for future projects. **★★★★★ — babs195983, March 2016** > I would recommend them to everyone!!! They offer a variety of products, products for every budget. Employees were very knowledgable about the products & services. They were very accommodating to my wants & needs. **★★★★★ — Embellishments Design Studio, March 2016** > Solar Shield always does such a nice job. I refer them frequently to my clients and have used them in my own home as well. They are efficient, have a program that is easy to understand, and treat their customers well. **★★★★★ — Justin Lindau, March 2016** > Reasonable prices, friendly and helpful employees and the best quality work in the twin cities. Used them on 4 different vehicles they're the best around and I wouldn't go anywhere else. **★★★★★ — jgilyard, March 2016** > We recently had Solar Shield complete 2 projects for us. From the very first communication to the completion of the jobs, they were fast, thorough and professional. We're very pleased with the results and are appreciative that they were able to work with our schedule. They made the whole process easy for us. **★★★★ — art\_lamountain, March 2016** > Matt and his partner came out on s bid request and had everything they needed to do the job right away. They were both courteous and professional. The Windows we had chosen were partially trapezoidal in shape and when the job was complete it looked flawless. Best of all, the view of the golf course is still clear. ## Selected projects - [Exterior - Residential Window Tint](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exterior-residential-window-tint-pj-vj~1637195) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: Photo Courtesy of Eastman - [Interior - Residential Window Tint](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/interior-residential-window-tint-pj-vj~1637162) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: Photo Courtesy of Eastman - [Privacy and Natural Light](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/privacy-and-natural-light-pj-vj~1637155) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: Photo Courtesy of Eastman - [Reduced Heat and Glare](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/reduced-heat-and-glare-pj-vj~1637158) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: Photo Courtesy of Eastman - [Lake Homes with Protection](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-homes-with-protection-pj-vj~1941223) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Energy Savings and Solar Heat Control](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/energy-savings-and-solar-heat-control-pj-vj~1637169) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: Photo Courtesy of Eastman - [Residential window film projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/residential-window-film-projects-pj-vj~1617581) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Historical Buildings](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historical-buildings-pj-vj~1761123) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Fade Protection](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fade-protection-pj-vj~1637164) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: Photo Courtesy of Eastman - [Decorative Film Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/decorative-film-projects-pj-vj~1617588) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/window-treatments/solar-shield-pfvwus-pf~152832339) ## Ideabooks - [sales9457's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/62594623/list/sales9457-s-ideas) — 1 idea [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/sales9457) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
