Buying or Building in Delaware?
Move In With Your Window Film Already Handled.
Plan a whole-home 3M window film package before settlement or move-in — for homes in Delaware and Maryland’s Eastern Shore, even if you’re still living in DC, Maryland or Northern Virginia.
Ask your builder and lender whether the package can be included in your builder options, purchase contract or financing.

Why before move-in?
Slow cumulative fading
Many 3M architectural films block up to 99% of UV. UV is only one contributor to fading, but addressing it early helps slow damage to new floors and furnishings.
Reduce solar heat and glare
Treat the sun-facing rooms before the first summer instead of discovering hot spots and screen glare after you move in.
Easier access before furniture
Empty rooms and bare windows make installation simpler than working around furniture, shades and window treatments later.
Plan privacy and daylight
Choose room by room: daylight where you want it, daytime privacy where neighbors are close, frosted film for baths.
Two ways to make it happen
Builder-contract review
Shore writes a room-by-room scope. You ask your builder whether it can be added as an option or addendum, and ask your lender whether it can be reviewed as part of financing.
Buyer-direct
Approve and reserve the package now. We install before move-in only with permission and access, or immediately after closing.
How the plan comes together

Shore verifies the details
We confirm glass type, access, film choices, room-by-room scope and pricing.
- 3
Share the proposal
Give the written scope to your builder and lender if you want them to review inclusion.
- 4
Schedule the install
Timed around permitted access, the final clean, closing and move-in.
Builder or property-owner permission is required before any work happens before closing.
What to ask your builder or lender
We’d like a Shore Tint & More whole-home window film package for our new home. Can this be added to our builder options or purchase contract and reviewed by our lender before closing? If so, what proposal, vendor, insurance or timing documents do you need?

Every package is scoped and priced for your home after we verify the glass and rooms.

New-home window film FAQs
Can window film be installed before closing?
Sometimes. The builder or current property owner must approve access before closing. If pre-closing access is not permitted, the project can be scheduled immediately after closing.
Can window film be included in my mortgage or purchase price?
Ask your builder and lender whether the package can be included in builder options, the purchase contract or financing. Eligibility varies, and Shore Tint & More does not provide mortgage or financial advice or guarantee financing.
What if my builder or lender says it cannot be included?
You can still approve or reserve the package directly and schedule installation before move-in when access is permitted, or immediately after closing.
When should I contact Shore Tint & More?
As soon as you know the community, builder, approximate closing window and the rooms or exposures you want to address. Final measurements are not needed to begin.
Will whole-home window film make the house dark?
It does not have to. Lighter ceramic and spectrally selective options preserve more visible light, and film can be selected room by room so darker options go only where they are wanted.
Is window film compatible with double-pane or Low-E glass?
Often, but not automatically. Compatibility depends on the glass construction, coating location and the specific film, so the glazing is verified before a film is recommended.

Do not wait for the first summer in the house
Inclusion in builder options, a purchase contract or financing depends on builder approval, lender and loan rules, appraisal, contract timing, access and your circumstances. Shore Tint & More does not provide mortgage or financial advice and cannot guarantee financing.
