Home Window Tinting

We have provided services for home window tinting for many homes over the years.  From North San Diego all the way down to the border.  From the beautiful San Diego County Beaches to the San Diego County Inland areas.  We have provided home window tinting for them all and have had satisfied customers, who at times are returning customers, refer us over and over to their friends!

Let’s use this home as an example to let you know their situations before window tint and then after.

The Beach House

• This house was on the cliffs of beautiful La Jolla.  The homes west side was directly facing the ocean and was basically all windows.  It was beautiful, but during the day the suns rays we’re so intense that the glare was just to much and the owners were afraid that their art work and hard wood floors were going to fade because of the sun and it’s damaging UV Rays.   They wanted window tint, but were under the assumption that it would be too dark and they loved having the brightness of the sun.  We had the perfect solution for them; 3M’s Prestige 60!  It’s a very light film, but still does the same job that a darker tint would do. 

Here’s a little about our 3M Prestige window tint:

Because traditional window films use metal, they are susceptible to corrosion in coastal environments and may interfere with mobile phone reception. Because these films have no metals, they are the first films to offer a variety of selections that eliminate these problems and perform to the industry’s highest standards.

One of the major drawbacks of traditional window films is that they tend to act like mirrors. 3M’s Prestige line offers window films that actually have less interior reflectivity than the glass they cover. The other styles have interior reflectivity that is just 1% greater than glass. Your windows will only reflect your commitment to keeping your home looking beautiful.

These films reject up to 97% of the sun’s infrared light to keep your home cool and lower your energy bills.

These films will also block up to 99.9% of the sun’s harmful UV rays, which are the single largest cause of fading.

We are happy to say that the owner’s of the La Jolla Beach House were very pleased with the results!

Listening and Your Relationship

To have a relationship built on trust, means you must learn how to use the tool of communication.

Each relationship contains a reservoir of hope. The research on this topic shows that, even the most destructive quarrels and conflicts start with good intentions. These good intentions form the basis of a hidden reservoir of hope.

A single fight can remove 20 moments of kindness and understanding. It is important that partners learn how to control anger and try to listen to what their significant other is really saying in order to see the core of the problem.

Most couples have difficulties listening to each other and it is so important in an relationship that they do. Because human nature is as it is, most of us when faced with problems in a couple, believe this effort should be made by our partners and not us. As a result, the relationship starts to suffer and we don’t seem to know what the problem really is. By improving their listening skills the partners will have a happy relationship.

To have a good listener is to have a good friend. In a happy relationship partners can count on each other as a friend.

Men and women are fighting with different weapons but suffer the same injury. They also have the same objectives: acceptance, support and affection. Listening to their partner lies at the root of all this objectives.

Instead of continually changing partners in search of a happy relationship, people should learn to manage conflicts and misunderstandings that are common to all relationships. In order for the partners to improve their listening skills they need to practice so as to become good in this area. All you need to do is start to really listen to your partner and you will discover that things are not as bad as you first thought.

How We Communicate

We communicate in three ways: words, our voices, and body language. About 55 percent of our communication is through body language, and only 38 percent comes through our voice and 7 percent is conveyed in our words? So our body language really affects how we communicate with others.

This is why it is important to be attentive to your body when you talk to someone. You should allow at least 18 inches of personal space around every person with whom you speak (depending on the culture). Always smile. Maintain good eye contact without staring. Keep your hands out of your pockets. No arm crossing. That is an unfriendly signal. Oh, and don’t slouch; just keep your shoulders and hips parallel.

When you speak, avoid rising inflection at the end of a sentence that turns a statement into a question. People generally can understand well what you are talking, but your tone can suggest a lack of confidence.

Smile when you talk on the phone. A smile puts energy, enthusiasm, and purpose into your voice on the phone. Also, remember to speak slowly, but not to slow. You will want to keep it calm, assured, friendly, and professional. If the other person sounds anxious, try to slow down so you can take charge of the pace. In addition, if the conversation is dragging, pick it up a little. Be aware of how the pitch of your voice sounds like.

Use simple language or vocabulary that other people will understand. If everyone can understand acronyms, it is fine to use them. But you should avoid using slang and vulgarities. Speak in complete sentences with correct grammar.

Avoid using clichés as well. Otherwise, it becomes a foreign language and you risk alienating people.

Here are three suggestions for communicating more effectively:

Speak loudly and clearly on the phone: All you have got is your voice and words – just about 45 percent of your communication power.

Videotape yourself: This is an effective to periodically keep improving. You should always try to get input from other people or your presentation coach.

E-mail with care: Some people feel that when we have to send an e-mail, we are losing 93 percent of our communication power. So choose your words carefully and make each one of them count.
