Richmond's window tinting specialist

The Tint
Doctor

Every job starts the same way — with a plan. Scroll to watch one come together.

02 — Chassis

From the
ground up.

We treat every car like it was built for the bay — measured, mapped, and understood before a single cut.

03 — Finish

Paint
& polish.

Your car arrives looking good. It should leave looking better — and never with a scratch it didn't come in with.

04 — Glass prep

Surgically
clean.

Dust is the enemy of a clean install. Every pane is scrubbed, squeegeed and inspected before film comes near it.

05 — Film

The film
goes on.

SunTek carbon or ceramic, hand-cut to your glass and laid edge to edge. No bubbles, no gaps, no shortcuts.

06 — Your shade

Pick your shade.

Book this look

The prescription

Four shades. One right answer for your car.

The number is how much visible light gets through. Lower is darker. Tap a shade to see it on real glass.

Carbon or ceramic.

Both are SunTek. Carbon is the sharp, no-fade everyday film. Ceramic adds serious heat rejection for Virginia summers.

The doctor is in

Jacob Gust. Pride in every edge.

The Tint Doctor name has become synonymous with quality window tinting in Richmond. Jacob, the owner, does the work himself — with the patience and attention to detail you'd want from anyone touching your car.

SunTek Window Films Authorized SunTek dealer

★★★★★  5.0 on Yelp & Setmore

"No one touches my windows but him."

Jacob did my 08 F150 (work truck), my wife's 2019 Highlander and my 2012 F250. He is one of the best in the Richmond area, if not the best.

Gary

Got my 2 front windows tinted and Jacob did a beautiful job! Quality work at a great price.

D. Johnson

Jacob did my F 150 a while back and I have gotten more compliments on it than I can count. Quality work and great service.

Jeff Ferrell

It came back perfect — it even came with papers and a do not wash or let window down sign (lol).

Tonya

Best tint place in Richmond. Jacob is a very nice and friendly guy that stands behind his work!

My windows were done in 1.5 hours. My windows look awesome. I would definitely recommend The Tint Doctor!

Before you book

A few house rules.

  1. 2010 or newer can book online. Older vehicles — call or email for price and scheduling.
  2. Teslas aren't booked online. Call or email for a quote.
  3. Old tint removal is quoted by phone, not online.
  4. Windshields — strips to the AS-1 line for an added charge. Full windshield only with a DMV medical waiver.
  5. 5% film costs more to source, so it adds to the price.
  6. Can't make it? Cancel from your confirmation email or call the shop. Got a reminder call? Please call back to confirm.
