Sal's House of Tint is family-owned and operated by Salvador and Michelle Hurtado. Like many
of the locals, we came to San Marcos to attend Texas State University, fell in love with the
community, and never left. We're passionate about sustainable living. In 2010, we decided to
make a life out of teaching others how to save energy and shrink their carbon footprints with
window film. A lot has happened over the past decade, yet quality remains our mantra. We're
so grateful for our community, our industry, and what the future has in store.
Although we are based in San Marcos, we also service Austin, Dripping Springs,Cedar Park,
Buda, Kyle, Wimberley, Driftwood, Luling, Lockhart, New Braunfels, Schertz, and San Antonio.
Meet Sal & Michelle
Sal Hurtado
Sal has been tinting for almost thirty years. His consistent attention to detail and
obsession with quality hasn't gone unnoticed. Sal was named the "World's Best
Automotive Window Tinter" at the 2017 International Window Film Conference and
Tint-Off, where he was also awarded the bronze medal in the architectural division. In
2019, he returned to compete in the architectural division, and brought home another
bronze medal! He was previously named one of the top ten tinters in the world by
the International Window Film Association in 2012 and 2013.
Sal holds a bachelor's degree in Sound Recording Technology from Texas State
University, where he received the department's Award of Excellence. When he's not
tinting, you can usually find him playing his guitar or making music in his studio.
