Solar Control Glass Tinting Company Comparative Summary

Founded as a family-owned business in 1975, Solar Control Glass Tinting Company specializes in eliminating the effects of overexposure from the sun for residential and commercial properties. In addition, it offers solutions for graffiti, eavesdropping security and safety issues. Other services include decorative interior and exterior glass applications.

“We offer free estimates, a wide range of excellent product choices, helpful education, and timely service for our customers,” says Rocky Burcham, owner of the San Ramon-based company. “We’re different because we give customers a range of the best glass film selections available rather than only one brand.”

Along with consultation and estimates for projects, the company’s website (www.solarcontrolcompany.com) provides case studies from previous jobs and extensive information about its licensing and qualifications. “Some competitors avoid sharing information that can really benefit clients,” says Mr. Burcham. In addition to extensive product and service options, the website provides a copy of the company’s state license, workers’ compensation coverage information, useful tax credit forms, and links to Energy Star, the U.S. Green Building Council (LEED-certification), PG&E’s commercial rebate program, and various design partners.

“We work with interior designers because they’re often an integral part of the process for both residential and commercial projects,” notes Mr. Burcham. “I think the best word of mouth for our service is through great referrals. We support designers through a referral tracking system.” Solar Control Glass Tinting Company’s staff can also help potential clients or their contracted designers through the process of identifying solutions that best fit their needs.

Solar Control Glass Tinting Company provides service and solutions for drapery and furniture fading, anti-eavesdropping film, non-reflective film, safety and security film, earthquake safety film, decorative film, anti-graffiti film, attachment systems, skylight covers, and rebate forms.
