# THE WEATHERSTRIP

**Trade:** Windows / Siding / Gutters · **Address:** 26R Bedford Street, Waltham, MA 02453 · **Phone:** (617) 417-2360 · **Languages:** English

**Rating: not yet scored** — 0 reviews across 3 sources is too little evidence for an honest number.

## The honest read

THE WEATHERSTRIP works on the openings in a building — windows, doors, hardware, glass and glazing, skylights — and on the energy side of them. BBB lists it as a sole proprietorship owned by Fred Sullivan, 19 years in business, offering energy audits and carrying an A+ letter grade.

On the Procore network the business self-lists as The Weatherstrip, llc, doing business as FPP Restoration, with eight projects and a trade list that runs from windows, door and window hardware and roof skylights up through entrances, storefronts and curtain wall, across Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New Jersey.

Those two profiles share a phone number but describe different operations: a small Watertown-address energy-audit business on one, a multi-state building-envelope specialist at a Waltham address on the other. That is the first thing to sort out on the call.

For drafty windows and doors, an energy audit, or skylight and hardware work, it is a plausible call. Ask which side of the business is quoting you, how a house-sized job fits alongside the commercial envelope work, and get the scope, licensing and insurance in writing before you book.

**Strengths:**
- Windows and doors — Procore lists hardware, glazing, skylights and storefront work
- Energy audits — BBB lists it as an energy-audit business
- 19 years in business — a sole proprietorship under owner Fred Sullivan
- A+ BBB grade — the Bureau's top letter grade on its profile

**Where sources disagree:**
- The two profiles describe different businesses at the same phone number: BBB lists an energy-audit sole proprietorship at 93 Mount Auburn St, Watertown, while Procore lists The Weatherstrip, llc (dba FPP Restoration) as a window/door/curtain-wall specialty contractor at 22 Bedford St Unit #10, Waltham.
