[MassHistPres] Storm window installer

[Alison Hardy]

I am surprised that you could even get Harvey storm
windows without going through an installer. If you go
to the Harvey web site www.harveyind.com they have a
feature where you can enter your zip code and they
will give you a list of installers in your area.

I would also give a vote to Allied Storm windows as
they can do non square shapes for exterior storms.
Storm windows are ugly enough as it is, but when they
chop off the top of arched windows it's just hideous.
Allied Storms look so much better. There is another
company, Mon Ray, but I'm not sure if they can do non
square shapes. 

Good luck!
