Originally from Massachusetts, DJ Cammarata, the founder of Shade Monkey Window Tinting moved to Florida with family in 1985 and began working in window tinting in 2001 after the birth of his son. What started as a skill quickly became a true passion, combining hands-on work with the instant satisfaction of transforming spaces through comfort, privacy, and design. DJ previously owned a window film company from 2013 to 2019.
And in 2023, alongside the love of his life Erica Marie, Shade Monkey Window Tinting was created in Babcock Ranch as a fresh start and a reflection of the energy, personality, and pride they bring into everything they do.
“I love tinting, it’s physically active work for me, and the results are instant, it’s literally cooler the second I put the film up! We stand out from the crowd, we’re not here to blend in; but there’s no monkey business -we’re just bananas about quality work! ” – DJ
Known for bringing a fun, energetic approach while staying committed to quality work, the business reflects both creativity and craftsmanship. For them, it’s about more than just window film—it’s about creating spaces that feel better, look better, and stand out from the ordinary.
