What Ultimate Film Pros does

Ultimate Film Pros is a privately held specialty window film installation contractor serving residential and commercial customers across Oregon and Washington. Founded in 2004 by Jesse Johnson in Woodland, Washington, the company was rebranded in 2018 after divesting its auto tinting division, and expanded in 2019 via the acquisition of Pro Tint Window Tinting (est. 1989) to add a Southern Territory office in Salem, Oregon. The firm operates two offices and dispatches mobile installation crews to customer sites across two regional territories.

The company installs micro-thin polyester-based window films for solar control, privacy, security and safety, decorative, anti-graffiti, smart glass, exterior, and bird-safety applications. It carries nine manufacturer brands, with Vista and LLumar (Eastman Performance Films) as primary lines, and is one of only two authorized Select Pro dealers for those brands in the Portland/SW Washington market. Film technologies span traditional reflective laminates, ceramic films, PDLC-based switchable smart glass film, and Solex bird-deterrent patterns co-developed with the Audubon Society. The firm sells both materials and professional installation under a quote-based pricing model determined by square footage, film type, and project complexity.

Ultimate Film Pros generates revenue through one-time installation projects for residential homeowners and commercial clients across government, healthcare, retail, education, manufacturing, and telecommunications sectors. Named commercial accounts include Oregon Judicial Department, Samaritan Health Services, Goodwill, Les Schwab Tire Centers, Verizon, Camas Mill, and Salem School District. The company averages approximately 100,000 square feet of glass tinted annually across both territories (60,000 Northern + 40,000 Southern), supported by a small team of fewer than 10 employees and selective manufacturer certifications.

Broad incumbents

• Madico Window Films: Manufacturer and distributor of window films (including solar, safety, decorative) that supplies dealers across North America. Comparable as a leading brand in the same product category, but operating upstream of UFP's installation service model.
• Eastman Chemical Company (LLumar / Vista): Parent manufacturer of LLumar and Vista window film brands, which UFP carries as its core product lines. Comparable as the dominant brand in the same category; not a direct installer competitor but sets the product standards and dealer economics that govern UFP's business.
• Solar Gard (Saint-Gobain): Manufacturer of window films distributed through authorized dealers in residential and commercial channels. Comparable in product category and positioning; competes indirectly through its dealer network for the same end customers.
• 3M Window Film: Diversified manufacturer offering a full portfolio of window films (sun control, security, decorative, privacy). Comparable in product category and brand authority; UFP does not currently carry 3M but competes for the same end customers where 3M-authorized dealers are present.

Direct peers

• Sun Stoppers: National franchise window tinting chain that has expanded into residential and commercial films in addition to automotive. Overlaps with UFP on the residential and commercial tinting categories and competes for similar end customers in shared geographies.
• Window Film Depot: Commercial-focused window film installation company carrying 3M, LLumar, Vista, and other major films, with enterprise contracts across government, healthcare, and corporate real estate. Closely comparable to UFP's commercial service model and product portfolio.
• Tint World: Franchise-based window tinting and film installation company with multi-service offerings (auto, residential, commercial, marine). Comparable product/category overlap, especially on the residential and commercial sides; franchise model differs but addresses the same end customers.
• Solar Art Window Film: A large U.S. commercial and residential window film installer with a similar product mix (solar, security, decorative, smart glass). Comparable as a multi-territory installation services business operating in the same product category, though significantly larger and broader geographically.
• Elite Window Tinting: Pacific Northwest window tinting company to which UFP sold its auto-tinting business in 2018. Comparable as a regional installer operating in overlapping PNW territories, particularly relevant given the founder/ownership relationship between the two companies.

Others

• Pro Tint Window Tinting: Former competitor acquired by UFP in 2019-2020 to expand southern Oregon coverage. Historically comparable as a Salem-area residential and commercial window tinting installer (operating since 1989), now part of UFP — included as a reference point for the M&A roll-up thesis.
