Our Story

Founded With a Greater Purpose

Louisiana Commercial & Residential Tint was founded by Paul Landry with a clear objective: help commercial property owners throughout Louisiana reduce heat gain, improve energy efficiency, and create more comfortable, cost-effective buildings through professionally engineered window film solutions.

In Louisiana's climate, commercial buildings can absorb significant solar heat through untreated glass, increasing HVAC demand and driving up energy costs for much of the year. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, approximately 30% of a building's cooling energy can be lost through windows, making glass performance a major factor in overall building efficiency.

Paul recognized that commercial window film offered a practical solution capable of delivering measurable operational benefits without the expense of replacing existing glass systems.

Today, Louisiana Commercial & Residential Tint partners with office buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, retail centers, industrial properties, and multi-site commercial operations across Louisiana to help improve solar heat rejection, interior comfort, HVAC efficiency, glare reduction, UV protection, privacy and security, and long-term building preservation.

Professional-grade commercial window films can reject up to 80% of solar energy on select applications while helping reduce interior fading and lowering strain on cooling systems. For many facilities, this can contribute to noticeable energy savings and improved occupant comfort throughout the year.

Every project begins with a detailed understanding of the building's exposure, operational demands, and performance goals. From consultation and product selection to installation and project completion, the company follows a structured, professional process designed to meet the expectations of commercial property owners, facility managers, and general contractors managing high-value properties and long-term investments.

Under the leadership of Paul Landry, Louisiana Commercial & Residential Tint continues to focus on helping businesses create smarter, more energy-efficient buildings built for long-term performance in the Louisiana climate.

Architectural Flat Glass — Our Only Focus

What Separates LCRT From Every Other Window Tinting Contractor in Louisiana.

LCRT installs architectural flat glass window film. Nothing else. No peripheral offerings, no jack-of-all-trades catalog. That singular focus produces a depth of product knowledge, a precision of installation, and a standard of finished work that generalist contractors structurally cannot match — because every project we take on is the only kind of project we do.

Most contractors hand you a price and show up with a crew. LCRT begins every project with a professional on-site energy assessment, delivers a written scope of work and projected ROI payback before a dollar changes hands, and closes every project with full documentation, manufacturer warranty paperwork, and a workmanship guarantee. The process is the product.

LCRT is built to operate at the scale Louisiana's largest commercial contracts require. Product inventory across all four major manufacturer lines, installation capacity sized for multi-building campuses, and the project management infrastructure to coordinate statewide rollouts. This is not a small shop with a ladder rack. This is a commercial contractor built to operate at state level.

No other contractor in Louisiana specializes exclusively in commercial architectural window film, carries all four major manufacturer lines, and delivers a documented ROI projection before you commit a single dollar.
02 — Six Reasons

Six Specific Reasons Louisiana's Most Demanding Commercial Clients Choose LCRT.

Architectural Specialization
01

Architectural Specialization

LCRT installs commercial flat glass architectural window film exclusively. We do not split focus across marine work or paint protection. That exclusive focus translates directly into depth — depth of product knowledge across every film line, depth of installation technique on full-height curtain wall, and depth of judgment on which film performs best on which glass type. Generalist contractors cannot match this because window film is one of many things they do; for LCRT it is the only thing.

All Four Manufacturer Lines
02

All Four Manufacturer Lines

LCRT is authorized to install 3M Window Film, LLumar / Eastman, Vista Window Film, and Hüper Optik — the four most respected names in the architectural window film industry. Most contractors are locked into a single brand and must specify whatever that catalog offers. We specify the right film for your glass, your facade orientation, your aesthetic requirements, and your budget — independent of brand loyalty — backed by full manufacturer warranties from the world's leading film makers.

Written ROI Projection
03

Written ROI Projection

Every commercial client receives a documented energy assessment and a written ROI projection before a single dollar is spent. Cooling cost reduction estimated against your facade's actual solar exposure. Payback period calculated from your real utility rates. A document you can take to ownership, finance, or an asset management committee and defend on its own merits. No commercial decision maker should have to justify a capital expenditure on the strength of a verbal estimate.

Louisiana Climate Expertise
04

Louisiana Climate Expertise

Louisiana is not a generic Sun Belt market. The Gulf South delivers a specific combination of solar load, humidity, and storm-driven thermal cycling that punishes the wrong film specification. LCRT understands these conditions, knows how Entergy and Cleco rate structures shape ROI math, and has installed window film on every major Louisiana building type. That regional depth is something an out-of-state contractor flying in for a project simply cannot replicate.

Commercial Project Management
05

Commercial Project Management

LCRT operates with the discipline a general contractor expects from a subcontractor. Schedules built around tenant operations and after-hours access. Job sites left cleaner than we found them. Daily coordination with facility managers, project superintendents, and security teams. Every project closes with a full documentation package — film specifications, installation records, manufacturer warranty paperwork, and the LCRT workmanship guarantee — handed off in writing.

Statewide Scale
06

Statewide Scale

LCRT carries the product inventory, the trained installation capacity, and the coordination infrastructure to handle single-building projects and multi-site, statewide commercial contracts with equal precision. Whether the work is a one-story medical office in Lafayette or a fifteen-building campus rollout across Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Shreveport, the project is delivered on the same documented standard. State-level scale is built into how we operate, not bolted on.

03 — By the Numbers

The Numbers Behind LCRT's Performance and Capability.

For a commercial client choosing a window film contractor, these numbers translate into real, defensible expectations: cooling load relief that shows up on every utility statement, a UV barrier that protects high-value interior assets for the life of the film, and full optionality across every major manufacturer when the specification matters. These are not promotional figures — they are the operating standard LCRT delivers on every project.

A Project Process Built Around Documentation, Precision, and Zero Disruption to Your Operations.

Free Commercial Energy Assessment
01
On-Site
Step 01

Free Commercial Energy Assessment

Every engagement begins with a professional on-site assessment. An LCRT specialist walks the property, evaluates glass specifications and solar orientation by elevation, identifies thermal hot spots, and documents the existing conditions in writing — before any film is recommended. The assessment is delivered at no cost and at no obligation, because no responsible recommendation can be made without it.

Written Proposal and ROI Projection
02
Documented
Step 02

Written Proposal and ROI Projection

Following the assessment, LCRT delivers a written proposal: a documented scope of work, a film specification matched to your facade's actual solar exposure and glass build, projected cooling cost reduction, and an ROI payback period calculated against your real utility data. You receive everything you need to defend the investment internally — in writing — before you commit to anything.

Manufacturer-Certified Installation
03
Certified
Step 03

Manufacturer-Certified Installation

Installation is executed by manufacturer-certified crews using the techniques the film maker specifies for that product. Work is scheduled around your facility's operations — after-hours, weekend, or zoned — so tenants and staff are not disrupted. Job sites are kept clean throughout. The installation runs to commercial precision, not to a residential standard scaled up.

Documented Project Close
04
Handoff
Step 04

Documented Project Close

Every project closes the same way. A full documentation package: installation records, film batch numbers, the manufacturer warranty paperwork registered in your name, and the LCRT workmanship guarantee — delivered as a formal handoff. Nothing is left open, undocumented, or dependent on a verbal commitment. The project closes the way it began: in writing.

05 — Manufacturer Partners

Authorized to Install All Four of the Industry's Most Trusted Window Film Brands.

Most contractors are limited to a single manufacturer line. LCRT's authorization across all four — 3M, LLumar / Eastman, Vista, and Hüper Optik — gives every client direct access to the exact product specification their project demands, without compromise to a single brand's catalog. Every installation is registered under a full manufacturer warranty from the maker of that film, backed in turn by LCRT's workmanship guarantee.
