Since 1966
A Family Tradition
Our family has been in the window tinting business for three generations ever since our father J.O. Maldonado got started in 1960. In those days, prior to modern day window film, tint was applied in liquid form using a flow-coating machine. Then in 1966, the same year that 3M introduced window film to the world, “J.O.” established Acorn Glass Tinting. Today the tradition continues and although there are variations in brand identity, the Maldonado name remains the same.
"J.O." Maldonado
Throughout the years dad would proudly proclaim, "I never advertised. Our business was generated through referrals based on years of customer satisfaction." This photo shows his expression when making a point.
Dad was all business until the day he died in April of 2018. Every detail of what was to happen after his passing was planned and carried out exactly the way he wished. I would even go so far as to say that it is still being carried out in his children's lives and businesses until this very day. - E.M.
