Solar Tint

What Solar Tint does

Solar Tint, Inc. is a privately held, founder-operated window film installation services company headquartered in Miami, Florida (5887 SW 70th Street), serving automotive, residential, and commercial customers across Miami and South Florida. The company operates as an Authorized 3M Pro Shop Dealer and distributes 3M window film products (Ceramic IR, Prestige 70, Crystalline, Color Stable, Scotchshield), supplemented by Llumar and Huper Optik offerings. Service revenue is generated through professional installation fees on a per-project, quote-based pricing model spanning vehicle tinting, paint protection film (PPF), residential solar/decorative/safety films, commercial solar/decorative/safety films, switchable smart film, and vehicle wraps (with wraps and graphics cross-referred to sister company AP Wraps). The go-to-market is sales-led, supported by a content marketing and SEO-driven website, Google Reviews for social proof, online scheduling, and direct phone sales (305-663-4663); named enterprise engagements include 1 Hotel South Beach (3M Prestige 70 hospitality installation) and Paramount Miami Worldcenter (custom wayfinding wall graphics across 46+ amenities).

The company has operated for approximately 25 years (founded ~2000) under owner Robert Flores, with no external funding, no disclosed headcount, a single Miami office plus a Pinecrest service area, and standard payment methods (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex, cash, check, debit/credit). Competitive positioning rests on 3M manufacturer certification, accumulated local installation expertise and Florida tint law knowledge, a diversified three-segment customer base (Automotive, Residential, Commercial), and demonstrated performance outcomes such as up to 99% UV blocking, ~50% heat gain reduction with Prestige 70, and 10-20 year residential film lifespan in the Miami climate. The business model is structurally that of a regional specialty services contractor: project-based, non-recurring revenue, low-to-mid average tickets at the consumer end, and occasional larger commercial jobs, with limited recurring or contractual revenue.

Direct peers

• Tint World: National window tinting franchise founded in Florida offering automotive, residential, commercial, and marine tinting plus PPF and wraps. Most directly comparable to Solar Tint by product mix and Florida roots, though Tint World operates a franchise model with national reach.

Broad incumbents

• Window Genie: A Neighborly company brand providing window tinting, window cleaning, and pressure washing services across the U.S. Comparable in residential and commercial tint offerings, with broader geographic reach and backing from a multi-brand home services platform.
• Solar Gard: Global window film manufacturer (Saint-Gobain) whose products are sold and installed through authorized dealer networks. Comparable as a brand-tier supplier/dealer relationship analogous to the 3M arrangement Solar Tint relies on, with overlapping commercial and architectural product lines.
• Vista Window Film: Architectural and automotive window film manufacturer with an established dealer/installer network. Comparable as a film-supplier channel partner competing with 3M for authorized dealer relationships and downstream commercial projects.
• Llumar Window Films (Eastman): Major window film manufacturer (Eastman Chemical) with a global dealer network covering automotive, architectural, and security films. Solar Tint offers Llumar as a complementary brand, and Llumar dealers represent a directly comparable channel archetype.

Regional players

• Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions: Florida-based window treatment retailer and installer offering shutters, blinds, shades, and related products. Comparable as a South Florida window-covering specialist competing for residential customers evaluating film versus traditional window treatments.

Emerging players

• Huper Optik: Nanoceramic window film brand with a dealer network serving commercial and residential markets. Comparable because Solar Tint offers Huper Optik as a complementary line, and Huper Optik dealers compete for the same premium commercial tint projects.

Others

• AP Wraps: Sister company to Solar Tint providing commercial vehicle wraps, wall graphics, and window graphics. Comparable as a directly affiliated referral partner within the same ownership family, expanding the combined service offering.
