Window Tinting in Citrus Heights, CA
Sacramento Window Tint Pros connects Citrus Heights homes, businesses and drivers with independent local window tint installers.

Citrus Heights was built out between the late 1960s and the mid 1980s, and the housing is remarkably consistent: single-story and two-story tract homes on modest lots in 95610 and 95621, with garages that hold one car and driveways that hold the rest. Sunrise Boulevard, Greenback Lane and Auburn Boulevard carry the traffic, and the retail along them, from the Sunrise Mall area down to the auto dealers, means a lot of residents work nearby and park outside all day.
That is why Citrus Heights calls are mostly vehicles: new cars off the Sunrise dealer lots getting tinted in the first month, commuter sedans, and a lot of trucks. The typical order is a near-clear ceramic on the fronts, 20% or 35% on the rears, and a strip on the windshield for the Greenback Lane drive into the morning sun. Homeowners here ask about film for west-facing bedrooms in the two-story models, where the upstairs runs ten degrees hotter than downstairs all summer.

Citrus Heights Tinting FAQs
How much does window tinting cost in Citrus Heights?
Sedans typically run $150–$300 for standard film and $300–$600 for ceramic; trucks and SUVs $200–$450. Dealer add-on tint packages are often priced higher than an independent installer for the same film, so it is worth a free quote before you sign.
I just bought a car on Sunrise. Should I tint it before or after a dealer tint package?
Get an independent quote first. Dealer packages are convenient but usually cost more for a similar film, and you rarely get to pick the shade or film line. If the car already came with dark front tint from a previous owner, it will need to come off to be legal.
What’s the darkest legal tint in California?
Front side windows have to let about 70% of light through once the film and the factory glass are combined — in practice that means a film rated near 88% VLT, not a 70% film. Rear side and back windows can be as dark as you like, though a tinted rear window means your vehicle needs dual outside mirrors. A strip along the top of the windshield is allowed.

How long before I can roll the windows down?
Three to five days in summer, a little longer in winter. The film is applied wet and needs to dry under the glass. Small hazy spots in the first week are normal.
Can you tint just the upstairs west windows of my house?
Yes. Small residential jobs are common in Citrus Heights two-story homes where the upstairs bedrooms face west. A heat-rejecting film on those three or four windows is usually $200–$500 installed. See home window tinting.
Mobile or shop in Citrus Heights?
Both are available. There are shops along Auburn Boulevard and Sunrise, and mobile installers who come to driveways for an added fee. A shop is better for a big rear window or a glass roof; side windows are fine in a clean garage.
