Florida is known as the “Sunshine State” for good reason. All those UV rays may feel delightful at the beach, but your home experiences the negative effects.

What if there was a way to enjoy sunny days without the drawbacks?

Residential window tint blocks up to 99 percent of harmful UV rays, which keeps your home cooler and adds privacy, while protecting against fading of furniture, flooring and artwork.

“The biggest benefit of house tinting is savings on electric. You’ll save up to 20 percent on your electric bill, so the tinting pays for itself within a year,” says Dennis Gibson, owner/CEO of Sambo’s Customs.

Sambo’s Customs, located at 305 S. Main Street in Wildwood, is a LLumar® Authorized Dealer and has done vehicle window tinting in Sumter County for 10 years, but Dennis finds many people aren’t aware of the benefits of tinting house windows.

“We exclusively use LLumar® window films, which manufactures industry-leading films. All their products are American made and they come with a lifetime warranty,” says Dennis.

LLumar® films block 99 percent of UVA and UVB rays, reflecting them off the glass and decreasing the heat before it comes through the window.

The film is usually applied on the inside of the window, but homeowners living on a golf course can opt for a clear security film installed on the outside of the glass to prevent it from breaking should it be hit by a ball.

“Some people worry about tinting their house windows because it voids the glass warranty, but LLumar® takes over and will still honor the factory warranty,” adds Dennis.

When you call about residential window tinting, Dennis comes out to take measurements, give recommendations on film transparency and provide the quote. The customer puts down half the amount when the contract is signed and pays the balance when the job is completed.

Dennis and his team, which includes Wyatt McKay and Jeremy Carpenter, provide fast turnaround. From contract to completion is typically only one to two weeks.

A fifth generation Sumter County resident, Dennis also owns 643 Powerhouse, an indoor baseball and softball batting cage and training facility in Wildwood. He and his wife, Christine, are the proud parents of five children.
