We do window tinting right
At Shades of California, we have over 20 years of cumulative experience in window tinting and automotive appearance customization. New and used car dealerships all over Northern California send us their cars, and we’re the go-to window tinters for many Roseville Automall stores: Toyota, Chevrolet, Honda, Lexus, Cadillac, Mazda, Subaru, Volkswagen, BMW, Future Ford, Future Nissan and Performance Chevrolet.
There’s more to the story than car windows. We also do vinyl wraps and graphics on cars, trucks, boats and motorhomes, and architectural tint for homes and businesses.
Simply the best materials
For those who want the best: we carry only the best quality films with the best lifetime national warranties. Our film and labor are 100% Best Quality Guaranteed, and we guarantee against bubbles, delamination and color fading.

Why tint?
Seven reasons, one sun
Decrease heat
Film turns away a big share of the sun’s heat, so the car stays cooler and the AC works less.
Reduce fading
Blocks the UV that bleaches seats, dashboards and trim.
Diminish health risks
Blocks 99.9% of UV rays: skin protection on every drive.
Cut hazardous glare
Low sun and headlights get softer, so you can see the road.
Increase safety & security
Film helps hold broken glass together and keeps valuables out of sight.
Enhance appearance
That clean, finished look, from barely there to limo.
It’s fast & easy
Most vehicles are done in 1 to 2 hours.
Client love

Sal is a master with tint, wraps and protection coating. He murdered our Tesla Model 3 (3M Deep Black Matte and ceramic) and we get soooo many compliments… people stop at red lights to say how much they love it. We also brought our VW Vanagon Westfalia to him to tint and do a clear bra on our slick new paint job. We highly recommend Sal and Shades of California!
Melanie Meharchand I had a fantastic experience here. I was fortunate that Sal was able to fit me in during the week and I was immediately impressed just in my initial conversation with Sal. His attention to detail, installing ceramic tint on every window in my car, was very evident. The windows cured perfectly, my car looks great, and I owe it to Sal.
James Haskins Sal was great! He worked overtime to get my tinting done and his workmanship and price will make me a repeat customer when I need window tinting again. Super nice guy to boot! My camper van looks great!
