[Highland Park] storm door recommendations
by Joan Soulliere 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hello Neighbors, Our wood front door currently does not have a storm door. As a result, it is cracking to the point where my son can look through a crack as his "submarine telescope". We are looking for recommendations for places to purchase quality storm doors. We are also interested in installation. The house is Tudor style with side-lights around the front door. Thank you! Joan Soulliere Farragut St.
