    Storm windows for a vacation house
    We have a house that was built in 1969 as a summer/vacation house. We would like to add storm windows. The original windows are still in good shape and do not need to be replaced. Is there a good company (or ones we can attach) that adds storm windows onto pre-existing windows?

    Any large depot store(home depot,menards) even your local lumber yard can assist in finding you someone to install storms.

    Storm windows ,when measured to fit the opening, are about the easiest things to install.

    Remember to caulk the new frame to the existing frame and screw in place.

    You can get White,Brown,Mill finish(metallic grey)

    It'll be best if you allow the installer(or seller) to measure the windows so he will be responsible for any mis-measurements.

    Hope this helps,
