What Our Customers Say
Residential Window Film
If you own or rent in Brooklyn, you are probably looking for ways to make your place more comfortable while keeping costs in check, and residential window film does exactly that. Films cut summer heat gain in south-facing brownstone parlors, hold warmth inside drafty single-pane sashes through the winter, and add daytime privacy on close-set Brooklyn blocks where neighbors are only a few feet away. It is one of the most affordable upgrades you can make to an apartment, row house, or co-op without renovating.
Commercial Window Film Installation
Upgrade your business space with professional window film installation. Our commercial films help lower energy costs, cut glare on screens and merchandise, shield interiors from harmful UV rays, and improve privacy, creating a more comfortable and efficient workplace. Whether you run an office, a retail storefront, or another commercial property, our installation is built for long-lasting performance and clean looks.
Window Film and the Federal Energy-Efficiency Tax Credit
If you are adding window film for better energy efficiency, it may help you qualify for a federal energy-efficiency tax credit, since window film can count as an insulation material for these programs. Credit amounts and eligibility rules change from year to year, so check the current IRS rules or ask your tax advisor to confirm what applies to your situation before you file.
Warranty
We provide a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty. All of our window films are made from high-quality materials and are built to last for years in your Brooklyn home or business. Should a covered defect arise, the manufacturer may replace your window film at no extra cost to you.
UV Protection
Our Brooklyn installations use films that block up to 99 percent of UV rays, helping protect your skin and slow the fading of floors, fabrics, and store displays.
Save Energy
Film steadies indoor temperatures so your heating and cooling systems work less, which can ease the energy bills that come with Brooklyn’s hot summers and cold winters.
Protection From Broken Glass
If a pane is struck or shatters, safety film grips the broken pieces together and keeps loose, sharp fragments from scattering and causing injury.
Control Glare
When afternoon sun pours into a Brooklyn living room or shop, a tinting film brings the brightness down to a comfortable level everyone can enjoy without drawing the shades.
Vandal Protection
Anti-graffiti film shields your Brooklyn storefront from tagging, etching, and scratches; it goes on and comes off easily, stays invisible, and costs far less than replacing glass. Business owners, ask us about it.
Protection From Break-Ins
A bonded layer of safety film makes glass much harder to defeat, adding a quiet barrier that slows down forced entry at your Brooklyn home or business.

We are happy to walk you through the types of window film we offer, the application process, expected lifespan, and maintenance. For more information, contact Total Window Service in Brooklyn, Queens, and New York City today.
Is window film installation suitable for Brooklyn brownstones with original wood-frame windows, or only for modern construction?
Original wood-frame windows found throughout Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, and Crown Heights brownstones are fully compatible with interior window film installation. The film is applied to the glass surface itself, not the frame, so the condition or material of the frame does not affect installation quality or results. The only consideration with older single-pane glass common in pre-war construction is product selection: we choose films tested for single-pane applications that allow heat to dissipate freely, eliminating any risk of thermal stress. Our installers assess frame and glass condition during the free consultation before recommending a specific product.
Does Brooklyn's graffiti environment make anti-graffiti film a worthwhile investment for storefronts, and how does the sacrificial film system work?
For storefront and ground-floor commercial glazing in Bushwick, East Williamsburg, Bed-Stuy, and similar high-traffic Brooklyn corridors, anti-graffiti film is one of the most cost-effective protective investments available. The system works on a sacrificial principle: the film absorbs acid etching, marker tags, and scratch graffiti instead of the glass beneath. When graffiti occurs, only the film is replaced at a fraction of the cost of glass restoration or pane replacement. For property owners who have already paid for glass scratch removal or etching restoration, anti-graffiti film installed immediately after restoration prevents the same damage from recurring.
How does Brooklyn's waterfront salt air affect the longevity of window film, and does it require a different product or maintenance schedule?
Properties in Red Hook, the DUMBO waterfront, Bay Ridge, and Brooklyn Heights near the Promenade are exposed to salt-laden air that can affect film edge adhesion over time if the film is not properly sealed during installation. We use edge-sealing techniques on waterfront installations to prevent salt moisture from working under the film at the perimeter, a detail that separates professional installation from DIY applications. Product selection also matters: high-quality films from our portfolio, including Solar Gard, are designed with stable adhesive systems that perform in coastal exposure conditions. We recommend annual inspection of edge seals for waterfront properties.
Can window film be installed on the large loft-style windows typical in DUMBO and Williamsburg converted industrial buildings?
Yes, and oversized industrial windows are one of the applications where film delivers the most noticeable benefit. Large single-pane warehouse windows common in DUMBO and Williamsburg lofts transmit significant heat in summer and lose substantial warmth in winter. Solar or Low-E film applied to these large panes can dramatically improve thermal comfort without blocking the views and industrial light quality that define these spaces. The film is cut and applied in sections using professional techniques that leave seams practically invisible, a much more practical solution than custom window replacement or permanent external shading on oversized historic glazing.
How does the installation process differ for a Brooklyn retail storefront versus a residential apartment?
For retail storefronts, we typically schedule installation before or after business hours to avoid disrupting customer traffic, so early morning or evening appointments are standard. Storefront glass is often larger and may require multiple film panels applied in sequence, with precise alignment critical to the finished appearance. We document the glass condition with before photos before touching any surface. For residential apartments, installation is scheduled at a time convenient for the occupant with no need to vacate. In both cases, a 50 percent deposit confirms scheduling, with the balance due upon completion, or within 30 days for commercial accounts.
Does window film installation on a Brooklyn rental property require landlord permission, and what happens to the film at the end of a lease?
Interior window film does not structurally alter the glass or frame and leaves no permanent modification. However, most NYC residential leases include language about alterations to the premises, so checking your lease or obtaining written landlord consent before installation is a reasonable precaution, particularly for the tape-mounted frosted or decorative films. When a lease ends, professional film removal leaves the glass completely clean without adhesive residue or surface damage, provided removal is performed correctly using heat and appropriate solvents. We can include removal in the project scope at lease end if needed. For property owners renting units, film installation is an upgrade that reduces tenant energy costs and adds measurable comfort value to the space.
