West Michigan Tints installs window tint on commercial buildings, homes, retail spaces, and vehicles throughout Grand Rapids.

Mobile Window Tint at Your Location

You can have tint installed at your home, business, marina, or job site without needing to drive anywhere in Grand Rapids. West Michigan Tints brings the tools, film, and installation equipment directly to your location, so your vehicle stays parked in your driveway or your storefront windows get tinted while your shop stays open.

The service covers cars, boats, semis, commercial buildings, residential windows, and retail storefronts. You can choose between carbon and ceramic tint depending on how much heat rejection and UV protection you need. Ceramic blocks more infrared heat and works well for west-facing windows in Grand Rapids that get afternoon sun, while carbon offers solid performance at a lower cost. Color tints are also available if you want a specific look or need to match existing film.

What Happens During a Mobile Tint Install


West Michigan Tints arrives with pre-cut or custom-measured film, application solution, squeegees, and heat tools. For vehicle tint in Grand Rapids, the windows are cleaned, the film is applied to the interior glass, and excess material is trimmed. For building windows, the process is similar but may involve larger panels and exterior prep depending on the glass type.

After installation, you will notice reduced glare when the sun hits the glass, cooler interior temperatures during summer months, and less fading on upholstery or merchandise near windows. Ceramic tint blocks up to seventy percent of infrared heat without interfering with electronics or cell signals.

The film needs a few days to fully cure, and you may see small water bubbles or haze during that time. These clear up as moisture evaporates. Tint does not eliminate all heat or make windows unbreakable, but it does reduce UV exposure and improve comfort in vehicles and buildings that spend long hours in direct sunlight.

Questions People Ask Before Booking

Homeowners and vehicle owners in Grand Rapids often want to know how long the install takes, what film options are available, and whether mobile service works for their specific vehicle or building type.

What types of vehicles can you tint on-site?
West Michigan Tints handles cars, trucks, SUVs, boats, and semis. The work is done wherever the vehicle is parked, including driveways, marinas, and commercial lots in Grand Rapids.
How long does a mobile tint installation take?
Most passenger vehicles take two to four hours depending on the number of windows. Larger vehicles or buildings with multiple panes may take longer and are scheduled accordingly.
What is the difference between carbon and ceramic tint?
Carbon tint blocks UV rays and reduces heat at a moderate cost. Ceramic tint blocks more infrared heat, does not interfere with signals, and lasts longer, but costs more upfront.
When can I roll my windows down after tinting?
You should wait three to five days to let the film cure fully. Rolling windows down too early can cause the edges to peel or shift before the adhesive sets.
Why do people tint residential or retail windows?
Tint reduces heat buildup, prevents furniture and product fading, and adds privacy without blocking natural light. It is especially useful for west- or south-facing windows in Grand Rapids that get strong afternoon sun.
