Jean eased the van through the iron gate off Royal Street as Tinteaux tipped his baseball cap and surveyed the Fleur de Lys Boutique Hotel. Century-old single-pane windows gleamed under the sun, while inside the rooms struggled to stay cool despite pounding A/C.
On a warm, moonlit night in the Marigny, Jean spots that the “Crescent City Canvas” mural is already losing its vibrancy under the sun’s glare. She calls on her trusty partner, Tinteaux, to help deliver a custom Tintelligence™ window film solution that guarantees UV protection, glare reduction, and long-term color preservation.
Tinteaux fired up the NOLA Window Cleaning & Tint company van—black and gold with Tintelligence™ decals gleaming in the late-afternoon sun. Jean slid into the passenger seat, sketchbook in hand and tint ready. They navigated down Prytania Street, engine humming a smooth jazz rhythm as they bounded toward Dumas Manor.
Jean’s inbox pinged with a VIP request from the St. Claude Art Collective in Gretna. An architecturally stunning gallery perched beside the Mississippi bend was hosting its annual “Bayou Brushes” exhibit—but floor-to-ceiling windows meant relentless sun fading delicate canvases. With Tinteaux by her side and Tintelligence™ at the ready, Jean knew this was Gretna window tinting at its finest.
Jean’s phone buzzed with an urgent Westbank window tinting request from Bayou Brews & Bites. She and Tinteaux hopped into the Tintelligence™ van—equipped for commercial window film installations—and rolled onto the Greater New Orleans Bridge. As they cruised over the Mississippi River, the sunrise reflected off the new solar control window film they installed downtown, reminding Jean why energy-saving window tint is in such high demand in New Orleans.
The morning light danced across the centuries-old brick walls of the Veaux Carré courtyard as Jean and Tinteaux arrived, greeted by the comforting aroma of chicory coffee and freshly fried beignets. Wrought-iron balconies framed the scene, their curling patterns casting lace-like shadows on the cobblestones. A dozen neighborhood association members sat around a polished oak table, their clipboards and curious gazes ready for the big pitch.
On a balmy night in 1830, the Académie d’Orléans opened its doors for a highly anticipated opera premiere. As the final curtain fell, the lead soprano vanished without a trace. Locals claim her voice still echoes through the French Quarter when heat ripples across ancient windows.
It’s Friday evening in Faubourg Marigny, and Tinteaux’s been invited to the “Tintleman’s Ball”—a quirky community fundraiser where locals showcase their home renovations and eccentric style upgrades. Jean packs a duffel of sample swatches, decorative film rolls, and one very dazzling fleur-de-lis tie for Tinteaux’s grand debut.
Jean stands in the shop, Tinteaux at her side, clipboard in hand. Today’s mission: teach our mascot to present Tintelligence™ for home and office windows.
The heat in Meraux was hotter than crawfish boil gossip on a Saturday. Jean cruised down Judge Perez Drive in her service van, windows down and playlist bumpin’. Riding shotgun was her trusty partner, Tinteaux—the Cajun gator with a sun-fighting streak and a love for Southern charm.
Jean and Tinteaux head east to Arabi, where the summer sun isn’t the only thing creeping in through the windows. Miss Loretta, a proud homeowner with more flair than a French Market fruit stand, has had enough of her nosy neighbors—namely, the Peekaboo Patrol duo: Glenda Glaremore and Larry Lurker.
Sunrise hits Orleans Tower like a drumline—loud, relentless, and radiating heat straight through the east-facing windows of a real estate investor’s high-rise office. The AC? Struggling. The building regulations? Strict as a Sunday sermon. Altering the appearance of the windows isn’t an option.
