Film is a different trade from coating: different material, different equipment, and a far more expensive mistake to make, which is why fewer shops offer it. 3 of the 29 protection businesses in Houston do it. What film actually involves
All of them also apply ceramic coating, so they are in the list above.

Tell us the car and the work. We put it in front of shops that do this specific job, and they come back to you directly. We aren't a middleman on the price and we take no cut of it.
A coating does not need much, and what it does need is specific: a shampoo with nothing in it, something to bring the beading back when road film buries it, and a way to get the water off before it dries.
A pH-neutral shampoo with no gloss additives or wax in it.
A ceramic detail spray for use after every wash.
A large twisted-loop drying towel.

2 Houston shops publish a ceramic coating price, and they run $600 to $1,000. The national median across 698 shops is $950, so Houston sits above it. These are advertised rates rather than quotes, and vehicle size and paint condition both move them.
29 businesses in Houston advertise ceramic coating, paint correction or paint protection film, and 28 of those apply coatings, which is the list on this page. 4 of the 29 publish pricing, 7 of the coating shops hold a manufacturer credential we can check, and 17 operate as mobile services rather than from a fixed shop.
Almost always, and it is the most expensive thing to get wrong. A coating is optically clear and it seals whatever is underneath, so applying one over swirled paint preserves the swirls for the life of the coating. Paint correction runs $345 to $700 nationally. Ask any Houston shop whether correction is included in the coating price and how many stages.
No. Placement is not for sale on this site. The order below is set by what each shop publishes and what we can verify, and a shop that buys marketing from our parent company gets labeled as such rather than promoted.
Published rates are a range. What you pay comes down to size, paint condition and how much correction the finish needs first. Tell us the car and we will put it in front of shops that publish their pricing.
