We finally got our storm door! Years ago, I thought we would never bother with one. Firstly, I didn’t want to “cover up” our pretty wood door. And secondly, I knew the unusual arch top shape would cost a small fortune.
But after my refinishing job was destroyed in under three years, it had become obvious the door needed some protection from the weather, no matter the cost, or the wood wouldn’t last. So we sucked it up, found a great local company, and ordered the door. We lucked out and hit a sale, but the price was still way more than our monthly mortgage payment. (Yeah, let that sink in just a little.)
That said, I really didn’t expect to love it as much as I do. Totally worth the money spent, if not for the eventual savings in heating and cooling costs, then definitely in the “quality of life” column. It dampens the traffic noise, blocks drafts, and all the sunlight really transforms our living room during the day. The room has such a different feeling now. Light and bright.
I agree- I don’t love the way ours looks (yours is much much prettier) but it’s so functional. Great buy!
Thanks! Who knew it could have this big of an impact!
Hi! My name is Karen and live in Florence, South Carolina. I have search this area all the way to NY. Where on earth did you get this storm door Please! It is absolutely perfect. I have the exact front door. I’m willing to pay $5000 to be able to open my front door from sun up until sun down. Again, where did you get this door please. Thank you!
Hi Karen,
We got it from a local St. Louis company, Viviano Inc. Not sure if they do long-distance sales. Maybe try searching for “round-top” storm door? That seems to be what arched doors are called officially.
Good luck!
Oh THANK you! I’m in Charleston, SC and am so happy to have stumbled upon your blog (originally looking to see how you matched your downspout to the brick) and this wonderful storm door. I see an order in my future, too!
Still so happy with our door, Ashley! Hope you can find one too!
