There’s nothing better than handing the keys back to a customer and knowing you delivered exactly what they were looking for. 🔥

This Subaru WRX came to Elevate Film & Shade for a custom XPEL ceramic window film setup:

• XPEL XR Ceramic — 30% Front
• XPEL XR Ceramic — 20% Rear
• Professional installation with the attention to detail we’re known for

But the finished look is only part of the job. We believe the experience matters just as much — understanding what the customer wants, setting expectations, and delivering a result they’re proud to drive.

And when the customer takes the time to leave a review afterward… that’s the real payoff.

Thank you, Matthew, for trusting Elevate with your WRX.

Your Subaru has now been ELEVATED. 🚀

BEHIND THE TINT

Preparation is everything.

One of the biggest differences between a good window tint installation and a great one happens before the film ever touches the glass.

Nothing in this business is ever going to be 100% perfect—cars aren’t perfect, glass isn’t perfect, and every vehicle presents its own challenges. But having a proven procedure, paying attention to the details, and following the right steps can consistently produce an installation that looks incredible.

In this video, we’re cleaning and preparing the rear glass around the defroster lines. This is an area we see overlooked all the time, and when it’s not properly prepared, it can lead to some pretty ugly-looking back windows that everyone can see out on the road.

Our goal isn’t simply to put film on glass.

It’s to deliver an installation that the customer is proud to drive, and we’re proud to put our name on.

This is why preparation matters.
This is why procedures matter.
And this is why the little details matter.

The finished product is only as good as the preparation that goes into it.

Yellow has never been my favorite color… but I’ll admit, it works REALLY well on this 2026 Subaru WRX. 💛🔥

This one was all about getting the details right.

When Eli brought his WRX to us, we didn’t just pick a film percentage and throw it on the glass. We worked hand-in-hand with him to understand the look he wanted, set expectations, and find the perfect balance between appearance, privacy, and visibility.

The result? XPEL XR Black Ceramic 30% — giving this yellow WRX the exact look Eli was after without taking away from the character of the car.

And we didn’t stop there.

✅ XPEL XR Black Ceramic 30%
✅ Full vehicle ceramic coating
✅ Ceramic coating applied to the glass
✅ Ceramic coating applied to the wheels

At Elevate Film & Shade, every vehicle is different, and every customer has a different vision. That’s why the consultation is such an important part of what we do.

Our job isn’t just to install a product. Our job is to understand what YOU want the finished vehicle to look and feel like, explain your options, set realistic expectations, and then deliver on that vision.

Thanks for trusting us with your WRX, Eli. We think this one came out 🔥🔥🔥

What do you think of the yellow? 👀💛

🚐 YOUR FLEET IS A REFLECTION OF YOUR BUSINESS.

We recently had the opportunity to work with Lamoille Valley Transportation, ceramic coating two of their black GMC Yukon Denalis while also installing ceramic heat-rejection window film.

And while these Yukons look incredible, there’s a much bigger reason we recommend ceramic coating for transportation companies and commercial fleets.

Your vehicles are working advertisements for your business.

Tour buses, passenger vans, work vans, SUVs — every time they pull up to a customer, hotel, job site, airport, event, or business, people see them.

A clean, well-maintained fleet communicates professionalism, attention to detail, and pride in your company.

But keeping fleet vehicles clean can be a major time and labor expense.

🛡️ That’s where ceramic coating becomes a business advantage.

Because transportation vehicles spend so much time on the road, they’re constantly exposed to:

• Road grime
• Dirt and dust
• Salt and winter contaminants
• Bugs and environmental fallout
• Water spotting
• UV exposure

A quality ceramic coating creates an extremely slick, hydrophobic surface that makes washing and maintaining the vehicle significantly easier. Contaminants have a harder time bonding to the paint, meaning less scrubbing, easier washes, and less time spent getting vehicles back to a professional appearance.

And for a transportation company, time is money.

Every hour a revenue-producing vehicle sits being cleaned is an hour it isn’t on the road generating revenue.

The other benefit?

They stay looking GOOD.

Ceramic coating enhances the depth, gloss, and richness of the paint — especially on black vehicles like these Yukon Denalis. That deep, clean appearance helps your fleet continue looking newer and more professional for longer.

Add ceramic window film and you’re also improving the passenger experience with heat rejection and increased comfort while the vehicle is on the road.

At Elevate Film & Shade, we don’t look at fleet services as simply making vehicles shiny.

We look at them as protecting an investment, reducing maintenance time, improving the customer experience, and helping your vehicles represent your company the way they should.

Because when your business is transportation…

Your vehicles ARE part of your brand.

If customers are getting into one of your vehicles, what does that vehicle say about your company?

📍 Fleet vehicles
📍 Tour & transportation companies
📍 Work vans
📍 Commercial vehicles
📍 Executive transportation

If your fleet works hard, it deserves to be protected.

When a beautiful new space creates a whole new problem… glare. 👀☀️

Today we’re at Patterson Fuels in Williston, Vermont, where a recent building revamp created an unexpected challenge for their team: glare on their computer screens.

We came in, installed a few film samples, and let the team see the difference for themselves. After testing the options, they chose Blend 17—and today, we’re putting it to work throughout the space.

The goal isn’t simply to make the windows darker. It’s about creating a more comfortable, productive workspace while reducing the frustrating glare that makes computer screens difficult to see.

We’re excited to be here, grateful for the opportunity, and even more excited to see the finished result. 🙌

🎥 Watch the video and follow along as we transform the space.

If your office, home, showroom, or workspace is fighting glare, don’t replace the windows—let’s see what window film can do first.

📲 Reach out to Elevate Film & Shade for a consultation and let us find the right solution for your space.

WHAT LOOKED LIKE DAMAGE… WAS ACTUALLY A JOB WELL DONE BY THE PPF. 👀

This Mercedes S580 came into Elevate with what appeared to be front-end damage on the bumper. The existing Paint Protection Film had taken a serious beating, and at first glance, it was hard to tell whether the damage had actually made its way through to the paint underneath.

So we removed the film.

And this is exactly where PPF proves its value. 👇

Once the damaged film was removed, the factory paint underneath was flawless. Not a scratch. Not a chip. Not the damage we originally thought was there.

The PPF did exactly what it was designed to do — take the abuse so the paint doesn’t have to.

Instead of repairing and repainting an expensive Mercedes bumper, we simply removed the damaged film, properly prepped the surface, and installed a brand-new layer of PPF.

💥 Damage to the film
➡️ Film removed
➡️ Factory paint protected and untouched
➡️ New PPF installed
➡️ Bumper back to looking beautiful

That’s the difference between repairing damage and preventing damage in the first place.

If you have a vehicle you care about, PPF isn’t just about keeping it looking good. It’s an investment in protecting the factory finish underneath.

The film took the hit. The paint never did.

🚨 TRUCK OWNERS… GO LOOK AT YOUR ROCKERS. 🚨

We just finished up this Chevy Silverado Z71 2500, and this is exactly the kind of truck that takes a beating from the road.

Our team installed 10-mil XPEL Paint Protection Film on the areas that typically get hammered:

✔️ Bottoms of the doors
✔️ Rockers
✔️ Wheel-impact areas
✔️ Door sills

Why?

Because trucks are notorious for collecting rock chips. 🪨💥

And here’s where I want to hear from YOU…

👉 Go outside right now and look at your truck.

Look closely at the bottom of your doors.
Look at the rockers.
Look behind the front wheels.
Look at the areas around the wheel wells.

How many little white chips do you have?

I’ll bet there’s more than you realized.

And once those chips are there, they’re there. The paint is gone, and now you’re dealing with exposed metal, corrosion potential, and a truck that doesn’t look quite as nice as it did when you bought it.

That’s why we’re seeing more truck owners choose to protect the paint BEFORE the damage happens.

This Silverado came out beautiful, and you can still see the truck—not a giant piece of obvious “plastic” stuck to it.

👇 CHALLENGE:

Go look at your truck and post a picture of your worst rock-chip area in the comments.

Let’s see just how much punishment Vermont roads are dishing out. 😂🪨

And if your truck is still clean… protect it while it is.

🚨 FIFTH-WHEEL OWNERS — THIS ONE’S FOR YOU. 🚨

A brand-new 2026 Ford F-450 Dually is about to spend a LOT of time on the road hauling a brand-new fifth wheel.

And the owner knew exactly what he didn’t want to see…

❌ Rock chips all over the lower doors
❌ Sandblasting on the rockers
❌ Chips and damage on those big dually fender flares
❌ Bugs and road debris destroying the front end
❌ A beautiful new truck looking beat up after a season of towing

So we built this F-450 a road-defense package. 🛡️

We installed Paint Protection Film (PPF) on:

✔️ Bottoms of the doors
✔️ Rockers
✔️ Dually fender tubs/flares
✔️ Tailgate
✔️ Front bumper
✔️ Leading edge of the hood
✔️ Headlights

And then we took it a step further with a professional ceramic coating over the vehicle.

The goal?

Put the protection where the abuse actually happens.

If you own a F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, dually, fifth-wheel, travel trailer, motorhome or RV, you already know how much road debris these rigs encounter.

And here’s the thing…

👉 You don’t have to wait until the paint is chipped, scratched and sandblasted to do something about it.

PPF is an investment in keeping your truck looking like the truck you bought — even when it’s working hard.

THE SUN DOESN’T STOP AT YOUR WINDOWS. ☀️

We’ve been taught our entire lives to protect our skin from the sun.

Sunscreen. Hats. Sunglasses. Shade.

But here’s something most homeowners never think about:

You can be sitting INSIDE your home and still be exposed to UVA radiation coming through your windows.

The Skin Cancer Foundation specifically addresses this — and recognizes UV window film as an effective, often-underused tool for reducing UV exposure.

Their recommendation?

Look for UV window films that can block 99% or more of UVA and UVB radiation.

And this isn’t just about skin.

The same UV exposure that can contribute to premature skin aging and skin damage can also relentlessly attack the things inside your home — hardwood floors, furniture, artwork, rugs, photos and fabrics.

The crazy part? You don’t necessarily have to make your windows dark.

Today’s architectural films can provide serious UV protection while maintaining the natural appearance of your glass and your view.

That means you can still have the sunlight, the views and the beautiful glass — while adding another layer of protection between you and the sun.

👇 This is exactly why we’re passionate about architectural window film.

We don’t just install “tint.”

We install protection.

If you have large windows, a sunroom, waterfront views, south/west-facing glass, or rooms where the sun pours in every afternoon, let’s take a look at what your windows are doing.

We offer FREE in-home consultations and can show you exactly what options are available for your home.

Your windows should let the view in — not unnecessary UV exposure.

UV PROTECTION WITHOUT CHANGING THE LOOK OF YOUR WINDOWS ☀️🏡

Another beautiful project completed on the Burlington waterfront!

This entire home was outfitted with high-performance UV protection window film—giving the homeowners powerful protection from the sun without changing the look, feel, or view through their glass.

☀️ Blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays
🛋️ Helps protect flooring, furniture, artwork & interiors from UV fading
🌡️ Helps reduce solar heat coming through the glass
👀 Maintains the natural appearance of your windows and views
🏠 Works beautifully on existing residential glass

And here’s something many Vermont homeowners don’t realize:

You don’t have to live in Florida to have a UV problem.

UV rays come through your windows year-round—even when it doesn’t feel particularly hot outside. If you have large windows, waterfront views, sunrooms, or rooms filled with expensive furnishings, UV protection can make a HUGE difference.

This home proves you can protect what’s inside without putting dark tint on your windows or sacrificing the view.
