Edgar was fantastic to work with! He was very proficient, made sure the tint came out perfect. He actually redid two windows because he didn’t like how it looked. He cleaned up after every room. Definitely will work with them again in the future!

We used Window Film Depot and had the pleasure of working directly on-site with Edgar who was fabulous. He wrapped our windows for our new business ahead of opening. Extremely professional, on-time, knowledgeable and his work was perfect. We will use him for all our decal and window wrapping needs moving forward. GREAT JOB!!

Window Film Depot helped us form design phase to installation. From start to finish you have been very professional, even the installers: clean, neat, and willing to work around many obstacles.We are delighted with your products: 3M Film, Defense Lite, and Ballistics. We have just begun and look forward future projects.

Excellent and high-quality job by Window Film Depot! Mike and his crew are very responsive and accommodating. We had quite a few questions in regards to style/design and what would best suit our needs (for privacy but also aesthetics). Mike was extremely patient with us as we worked through our questions/concerns. Our expectations were exceeded and we were very pleased with the outcome. Window Film Depot comes highly recommended!

Stephen and his team did great work helping a client with a specific need for safety film. I would highly recommend them.

Rebecca J.

Our architect referred us to Window Film Depot, and we are very pleased with their services. Stephen and team were great to work with - very responsive and professional. They were able to come out and put in UV blocking tint, which took care of the heat coming off the windows. We look forward to working with them on additional projects.

Samantha T.

Window Film Depot installed film in my office to help with hot spot issues. The installation was professional and courteous, without interrupting our ability to work throughout the day. Working with Krissy to get the install quoted and scheduled was a dream too! Even with the small job we needed (total of four windows), she made me feel like we were just as important as a large install and was really fun to work with!

I had CoolVu transitional window film installed by the team at Window Film Depot. The installers were super fast and professional and the way the film adapts to dim in sunlight and goes clear when it's not sunny is pretty incredible. Awesome product. Awesome team. I highly recommend WFD!

The Connecticut Office of Window Film Depot is a dream to work with. They do incredible quality work, are 100% reliable, are extremely professional and are competitively priced. They will work with you when you need them and will adjust their schedule to make sure you and your clients are being well serviced. I cannot recommend them more highly to all.
