Stormtite

Stormtite has been fitting storm doors, storm windows, and siding out of its Belmont Street shop in Watertown for a long time — BBB records put its founding in 1953 and its accreditation dating to 1959, a 73-year run. Google puts the shop at 4.8 stars across 26 ratings, and the individual reviews back that up with specifics rather than blanket praise. Reviewers across the years keep naming the same two people, Gerry and Berge, for walking them through color and size choices on doors that don't come off a big-box shelf. In a 2024 review, a homeowner needed a custom-fit basement storm door and credited Berge with helping pick the door and color, calling the installation "perfect." In a 2021 review, another customer made the same point about Berge — knowledgeable, fair price, no pressure — on a front-entry storm door. A 2022 review described a basement storm door installed and "sealed perfectly." The oldest account on file goes back further: a 2016 article on Watertown News reported that Stormtite donated and installed a dozen storm windows for the Historical Society of Watertown's Edmund Fowle House. There's one clear miss in the record. In a 2023 review, a customer said Stormtite scratched their front entry door while installing a storm door, and that when they raised it, the company argued the damage wasn't a real issue because the door lacked a proper coating rather than owning the mistake. It's the one account here that isn't about fit or sales help, and it's worth asking how the company handles accidental damage before signing anything. Stormtite reads like the right call for a storm door or storm window job that needs a non-standard size or a careful color match — the kind of project where customers keep naming a specific salesperson. Given the one damage dispute on record, it's worth asking upfront how they'd handle something similar on your installation.
