Emerald City Window Tinting & Signs

These guys are AWESOME! Quotes were reasonable and matched the invoice when they were done. Showed up on time, did a great job. When I had to call back for another last minute job and was in a time crunch. Tim was a rock star and came through for me. Nothing but love. you won’t be sorry.

Tim did a wonderful job on my 328i. I could not be happier!

I was VERY impressed. I took my new 2016 Mazda CX-​5 in to have Tim tint my windows and tail lights and I couldn’t be happier. First off… he laid out all the options and pricing for me via email… lots of information and links for videos and further research. I appreciated that. Booking the appointment was easy and my car was returned to me on time, no issues. I highly recommend and plan on going back for a clear bra application as well. Awesome job!!!

Awesome small business that makes Seattle such a great community. I had my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited driver and passenger side front windows tinted to match the factory tint. Couldn’t ask for a better job or a better price. If anyone ask me for a good tint shop im sending the here. I will be back

I called June 7^th and left a message and got no response. I called back today and got a live person, but they can’t come out for another 2 weeks to give me a quote… I guess I am over it… I don’t think you should have to wait a month to get a quote or never get a call back…

Very pleased with this service. I’d never had my car windows tinted before, so I did a ton of research on products and vendors. When I visited Emerald City, Tim spent a lot of time explaining the 3M products. I was primarily interested in UV and heat blockage, not dark windows, so I chose 3M Crystalline — 70% on side and back windows and 90% on the windshield.
Scheduling an appointment was easy. It did require leaving my car overnight because the crystalline product takes more time to apply, but this was not a problem for me since I love nearby. The end result was beautiful. It’s only been a month or so, but there are no noticeable flaws anywhere, and the heat blockage is as impressive as advertised. All in all, a great customer experience — prompt and courteous service, superb work. I wish more people took this kind of pride in their work.

We needed our house glass front door frosted and a bathroom window blurred. Tim came out, provided suggestions (we had no idea what we wanted), left samples for us to try out, and promptly provided a quote based on our selection. One week later, he came out and in two hours completed the work perfectly. The whole process was smooth, the price was reasonable, and Tim was a professional throughout. I’d definitely recommend Emerald City to my friends and family!

I have now had 3 vehicles tinted here, I used to go to Midnight Tinting in Shoreline, but since Emerald city is super close to my house, I decided to give them a try. Three tints later I am still a very happy customer. I use the upgraded 3M film and have been very pleased with it. Tim honored prior pricing so I didn’t have to pay a fortune for the 3M upgrade on my most recent tint job. I go through cars a little too often, so I will probably see Tim in another year or two! Don’t let the Aurora road construction scare you away, its very easy to get to his shop from Taylor Ave on Queen Anne.

The guys here were very professional. The work wasn’t as perfect as I am used to from other tinting places. I had my two front windows tinted and there are definitely a few dust particles stuck in the tint. If you don’t mind having a few dust particles, this place has good pricing but if you are expecting perfection, you may consider trying elsewhere.

I got my first new car last year and I have never had my windows tinted before. I had gone to Emerald City Tint because I was referred by a friend that had also used them and said they were amazing. Because I had never tinted my windows before, I had no Idea what type of tint I should get that would look good and would work for what I wanted as far as privacy and security. Emerald City Tint was very helpful they talked me through the process, showed me pictures, and gave many examples of different options I could go with. They were very involved in my decision making process. I went from being nervous about going too dark on the tint or too light, to a very confident comfortable decision. When I got my car back It was beautiful the tint looked great. I did my homework on prices before I went to Emerald City and it is very reasonable. Just make sure you can give up at least 3 to 4 hours to allow them to do their job.
Emerald City Window Tinting was very helpful, knowledgable, and friendly. I would recommend them to anyone.

I recently used Emerald City Window Tinting to apply a UV blocking film to four large windows that are located in a sunny room in my home. My main concern was to protect the furnishings from fading and cracking – both are a significant problem in this room, even in cloudy Seattle. Tim, the owner, was extremely helpful from start to finish, answering lots of questions and helping me decide on the right product for my situation and then doing the installation himself. He is very knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with and honestly, I couldn’t be happier with the way the job turned out. The windows look so gorgeous and no one would guess there is anything on them. I highly recommend this company!

I can’t believe this is my first review! I guess I’ve been lazy these last few years to complete my profile and I haven’t honestly had any reasons to submit reviews for any places until now. This should say something about my experience at ECW. A friend of mine had his tint job here using a Groupon deal and the quality of work was good enough for me to make an appointment.
Tim was very accommodating and did not pressure me at all for a sale when going over my options. I settled with the 3M color stable film at 20% and could not be happier with my choice. I dropped my car off at 9am and picked it up at 5pm looking newer than ever and it was already 98% cured! Helps to get a tint during warm weather.
Don’t waste your time reading reviews for other places. Go here.

Excellent work by people who are exceptionally service oriented. This is my first Unilocal review — written to let others know this is a top– notch group of people with an excellent product. I would definitely recommend them.

This place did a fantastic job on my window tint. The guy working the desk in the morning was super helpful and explained the different options and helped me pick out the right now for my car. He even showed me his car out in the lot so I had a point of reference. Would definitely recommend to a friend. Just know that if you get a 9 a.m. drop off appt that means you can’t get your car until sometime between 5−6pm. If you get a waiting appt it is 3 – 4 hours. You could leave and come back if you want but it means you’re not stuck without a car all day if you really need it that night.

This place is awesome they did a fantastic job, had clear bra installed on my 2013 Honda Accord can’t even tell that it’s there. Price was the best in the greater Seattle area and Bellevue and Jennifer at the desk was very helpful and has great customer service.

Folks, the reason you come on Unilocal is to find that one place that does the best job with great service. ECW is your place!
Tim, the owner was great from start to finish. He spent at least 20 minutes on the phone when I first called his to discuss all my tinting option. I wanted the absolute best tint with the highest heat rejection. In my mind, I had a couple different brands in mind but he pointed me to 3M Crystalline, the Rolls Royce of tints. I decided to bring three of my cars to have Tim tint including a BMW M5.
In the past, I would sometimes be hesitant to bring my cars for tint because they wouldn’t take the panels off correctly, but Tim assured me that he didn’t need to take off any panels. I was very happy to hear that!
So how were the results? One word: AMAZING! He did the best job I’ve seen, and I’ve had cars tinted at the bigger names in town. And the best result, he wasn’t joking about the 3M Crystalline being great stuff, my car’s cabin is significantly cooler. For those with EV vehicles, you are going to be saving electricity because your A/​C isn’t pulling such a hard load.
Don’t look any further, Tim is your man! In fact, I’m going back next week to have a full clear wrap on the front with 3M Ventureshield. Great service, great prices and most importantly — Great workmanship! I’m one very happy customer!

I had my windows tinted a few months back and wow, they look great! Professional installation and courteous service to boot. Really what put the ice cream on the top was that my window had been catching the rubber/​felt seal on the inside bottom which made the window go down very slowly and eventually burn up the motor. I called them, they told me to come down to have a look and 20 minutes they polished up the window and the felt and the window was good as new.
Very good place to go if you want good service.

I came here to redeem my groupon i purchased for automobile window tinting. It was $ 150 toward window tinting valued at $ 325. Pretty good deal.
At first the place is pretty hard to find. It’s behind the Sheraton behind the parking lot on the corner of Roy and Aurora.
The front desk gal was super friendly, she even called me the day before my scheduled appointment to remind me.
I had some choices of 3M tint to choose from. I chose to get the upgrade limited lifetime warranty %20 for an additional $ 69. You don’t have to get the upgrade the premium film they offer is already pretty good.
I also had an existing rear visor tint on the back windshield of my car which they removed for only $ 30 and replaced it with a new one.
I had nowhere to go or anyone to pick me up so i waited in the waiting room for about 2 hours. The couches in there are super comfy so i helped myself to a nice nap. The front desk gal noticed it was cold and offered to bring me a space heater which was super nice of her.
After the tinting was complete i was very satisfied with how it came out.
The only thing that sucked was the wait, i recommend that you plan ahead and schedule something to do because that wait room doesn’t have whole lot in there to entertain yourself.
If you’re looking to get your windows tinted for your car i recommend purchasing that groupon to save yourself some money. They do a great job!

ECWT is a hidden gem in the heart of Seattle. Ha ha ha ha. Did you see what I did there? Gem. Setting the appointment was easy, but it is a small shop so call well in advance of when you’d like to get work done. The business is a bit hard to find coming in from Roy. If you are coming in off of Aurora, then it is much easier to see because it is on the corner of Aurora and Roy, but you have to be travelling in the southbound direction.
I also appreciate the expert and honest consulting. All tinting options were presented to me along with the risks and benefits of each. I think that I ended up going a little bit too dark, but there are plenty of legal options to select from. ECWT pricing is very competitive in Seattle.
The tinting work on my windows was done by Chris. He also assisted with the consult. I am very pleased with the finished product. I watched him for a little while, and I could tell that he takes pride in his work. There are no wonky edges or bubbles. This tint job is clean.
Overall I’m very satisfied with ECWT and I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family.

I was planning on coming here for my tint, and then I happened to score a groupon for this place. I love my tint, owner did a great job of explaining my options. I even ended up paying a little more and doing some upgraded premium film. It’s been on my car now for almost 2 months. No problems, and they garaged my car overnight.
Thanks!

I purchased a Groupon for Emerald City Window Tinting to get all my windows tinted on my 2005 Saab 9 – 3 Aero. I had been considering tinting my windows for some time since my eyes are sensitive to super sunny days, and I wanted a bit more privacy when driving my car around the city at night. Not to mention, I’ve seen similar cars tinted, and they just look better…
First of all, this Groupon offer was a steal! They did my whole car with Premium F/​X film for $ 150! I did 20% all around to be street legal, and I added a visor strip for a nominal upgrade fee for those sunny days when you get blinded through the windshield. The visor strip also helps to make it a bit darker for privacy, while still giving me good visibility through the rear window when driving my car.
I would highly recommend Tim and his crew!

The only problem I had with Emerald City Window Tinting was finding the place. When I looked on Google Maps street view, it showed an empty lot surrounded by chain link fence and concertina wire. OK, that can’t be right.
Google has it wrong… ECWT is actually on the other side of Roy, but when you look at Google street view on that side it seems like just another of Joe Diamond’s parking lots. Nope. In the building behind the parking lot you’ll find ECWT. The best (and almost only) way to get here is to head south on Highway 99/​Aurora Ave, hook a right on Roy and then take your first (almost immediate) left.
I started with the Groupon deal, and did a couple of upgrades. I got the better grade of film (color-​stable) and the «factory» look on the top edges of the windows. They did a good job of explaining the options without getting into a hard sell. They also did a great job of trying to understand what I wanted and why I wanted it, and as a result everything looks great. I waited the five days to roll the windows down, open the sunroof, and the fit and finish are great.
I also lucked into a great opportunity. They wanted to use my car for a video they were making, so I figured sure, what the hell. I didn’t notice it until I got home but they had quietly tinted my sunroof for free as a thank-​you. Gotta love that. Thanks, guys!
