TINT EXPRESS INC.

What TINT EXPRESS INC. does

Tint Express Inc. is a privately held mobile window tinting service provider headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, operating across 11+ Florida counties including Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, Citrus, Sumter, Marion, Lake, Lee, Collier, Orange, Polk, Manatee, and Sarasota. The company was founded in 2000 (with some sources referencing experience dating to 1984) and delivers installation services directly to customer locations, eliminating the need for a physical shop. Its core offerings include automotive window tinting, residential and commercial building films, marine and heavy equipment tinting, paint protection film (PPF), and vehicle wraps, using premium ceramic films sourced exclusively through partnerships with Autobahn and Huper Optik.

The company employs a proprietary patent-pending mobile tinting technique that allows outdoor installation without a garage, alongside an award-winning micro-edge precision installation method. Its technical leadership is anchored by Master Tinter Dave, a world-ranked Tint-Off winner and youngest Formula One-certified shop tinter at age 18, and Charles, a Guinness World Record holder for window tint installation; both personally train crew members to a Seal of Approval standard. Products are differentiated by performance claims including up to 93% heat rejection and 99.9% UV blocking, backed by lifetime, no-fault, and transferable warranties.

Tint Express generates revenue through unit-priced one-time installation services, with sedans priced at $449.99-$994.99 across ceramic tiers, SUVs/trucks at $125-$199 per window set, PPF packages from $500 to $5,000+, and additional pricing on residential, commercial, marine, and heavy equipment work. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer mobile service with a B2B enterprise field-sales motion targeting commercial businesses, government entities, and fleet operators, supported by hyper-local SEO, a YouTube library exceeding 7 million views, and 1,200+ verified five-star Google reviews. The company is founder-operated, with no disclosed venture or private equity investment.
