The problem

Quotes that take days get shopped around.

Window-tint pricing has traditionally meant a phone call or an on-site visit. Homeowners comparing options in the evening hit a wall — no price, no answer until business hours — and a meaningful share of them never call back. The shop, meanwhile, spends skilled staff time quoting jobs that were never going to close.

The goal: let a customer self-serve a trustworthy, itemized estimate at any hour, while handing the shop a fully-qualified lead — goals, film choice, exact pane measurements, and contact details — instead of a cold voicemail.

What we built

A quote wizard that ends in a real number.

Guided intake. Tinting goals, biggest concern, and timeline shape the film recommendation before any pricing happens.

Film Studio visualizer. An interactive before/after slider with per-film performance specs — heat rejection, UV block, glare reduction, visible light.

Pane-level measurements. Per-window facing, type, room, and pane dimensions with photo upload; the engine prices from square footage, not guesswork.

Real pricing engine. Itemized install cost and tax computed instantly; every estimate persists to a Postgres database with full quote context.

Owner hand-off. Each submission fires a notification email with secure one-click approve-and-schedule links that expire after 48 hours.

How it works

The customer walks their own job.

Land, and start — no login, no friction

The customer is promised exactly one thing up front: a transparent, no-pressure estimate in under two minutes.

Tell it what you're trying to fix

Goals, the single biggest concern, and timeline — selected in taps, not typed. These drive the film recommendation later.

Tinting goals step: selectable cards for heat reduction, privacy, glare reduction, UV protection, energy bills, safety, and timeline options.

See the film before you buy it

The Film Studio renders a before/after comparison per film family, with honest performance numbers underneath — and a recommendation based on the goals chosen a step earlier.

Film Studio step: before/after window comparison slider for ceramic film with stats — 60% heat rejected, 99% UV blocked, 45% glare reduced, 70% visible light.

Film selection step listing ceramic, premium multilayer, dyed, and everyday film options as selectable cards. — Film tiers, from premium ceramic to budget dyed — plus a custom-project escape hatch.

Job details step asking about home stories, ladder access, and existing tint removal. — Access questions (stories, ladders, existing tint) that change real-world install cost.

Measure like an installer would

Each window is captured pane-by-pane — facing, window type, room, dimensions, optional photo — with an illustrated guide so customers measure the pane, not the frame. This is what lets the estimate be accurate instead of a range.

Window measurements step with an illustrated measuring guide and three window cards, each capturing facing direction, window type, room, pane count, and dimensions. — Scroll The full measurement flow — three windows entered pane-by-pane.

A real number, saved to the pipeline

The estimate (shown at the top of this page) is computed from the actual square footage and film choice, then persisted with a reference ID. The customer gets confirmation; the shop gets a fully-qualified lead with every detail attached.

Quote submitted confirmation screen with a reference ID and a start-a-new-quote button. — Submission persisted — reference ID issued, team notified for follow-up within 24 hours.

Screenshots are from the real application running end-to-end against its database — the walkthrough uses a sample customer, and the $914 estimate is the pricing engine's genuine output for the measurements entered.
