5 Reasons to Add a Retractable Screen Door to Your Home.

5 Reasons to Add a Retractable Screen Door to Your Home.

Here are 5 good reasons why you should consider a retractable screen for your front door, from the experts at Michele's Hide-Away Screens & Awnings.

  1. Curb Appeal - Unlike traditional storm / screen doors, the extensive color choices and sleek styling of our retractable screens blend in so well, you'll hardly know it's there.
  2. Fresh Air – the benefits of oxygen to the human body are countless, including better clarity, better quality of breathing, less anxiety, and removal of toxins in stagnant areas. A retractable screen door lets you breathe in the crisp fresh air from outdoors, while cleansing the air in your home through natural circulation.
  3. Natural Light – Like fresh air, there is nothing man made that can beat the benefits of natural light. An instant mood lifter, a combination of fresh air and natural light can be one of the easiest ways to naturally boost energy, motivation and clarity and the natural light through a retractable screen door lets you enjoy these benefits while maintaining your privacy indoors.
  4. Pest free environment – no matter what time of day it is, the spring and summer months bring with them the inevitable love bugs, mosquitoes, flies and other pests that seem to find their way into your home through any open window or door. A retractable screen door keeps the pests away, allowing you to enjoy the fresh natural air in a pest free environment.
  5. Ease of Maintenance – unlike a traditional screen door, maintaining a retractable screen door is a breeze. There's no worry about rusty hinges, noisy slamming, or dust, mildew, mold and grime buildup. With a simple pull, you can easily deploy your screen across your doorway when you feel like using it, and when it's not needed, simply hide it away until next time.

Just ask any proud of owner of a Michele's Hide-Away Screen and you will soon learn what you’ve been missing without one. Contact Michele's Hide-Away Screens & Awnings or call (352) 236-8869 today to get your new retractable screen.

The service i received was excellent. I thought a new motor was needed for garage screen, but the repairman said that the motor was working well and just needed service. I appreciated the honesty.

We just bought a home in Ocala in June 2025. We have a beautiful front porch, but it is in direct sunlight and very HOT! We searched around and talked to a couple of companies looking for awning options and frankly I picked Michele's Hide-Away Screens and Awning because the woman who answered the call was very pleasant, informative and helpful. She listened to our needs and made a great recommendation. We chose to move forward with them and ordered a Retractable Awning which is flush mounted to the house when closed. The order was placed; I was advised a time that it would be delivered to their location because they are custom made and received a call that it arrived - earlier than expected. They called me to schedule the installation. The install arrived on time and went right to work. The install took a couple of hours and was done without any issues and looked fantastic. EVEN BETTER - when the awning is opened and covers the porch it is so much cooler now. The Install Team cleaned up the area and we are overjoyed with the entire experience. We will be going back to them to get a Motorized Screen Door for our Garage as well. We Highly Recommend Michele's Hide-Away Screens and Awnings to any in need. I just can't say enough positive things about the entire group of people. Chuck S. Ocala FL

Had my screen for about 5-7years . Recently, I backed into it. Called Michele’s, the repair man( Dalton) was so kind, friendly and professional. Took his time, and explained everything to me. I love, love, love my garage screen. I would recommend Michele’ s to everyone who anticipates getting a garage screen. GREAT COMPANY.

Had them come out and service my 6 yr old 4 panel garage screens. They were better than new after that. New rollers, anchor bolts for the track and straightened all the guides. Excellent service.
