Preparing Your Home Screens for a Florida Hurricane Season.

Preparing Your Home Screens for a Florida Hurricane Season.

Spring has officially ended and Summer is taking over our lives for the next few months. With Summer comes some pretty intense storms, and yes, even hurricanes! And with it comes hurricane season. Meteorologists are already predicting a slightly above average amount of tropical storms and hurricanes that can come our way in the coming months.

The 2019 hurricane season officially starts on June first and last until the last day in November. However, experts are paying close attention to April and May and monitoring the weather patterns in the Southeast, Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. With warmer temperatures than usual in those areas this year, there is potential for some early storms.

The hurricane seasons are based on if we are experiencing an El Niño, La Niña, or if we are in a neutral phase. This year we are currently going through an El Niño, and it stays the same or strengthens we should have adverse or below average number of storms. If it weakens or becomes neutral the number of tropical storms and hurricanes could be higher than normal

In either scenario we should be prepared should a major storm come our way. Making sure your retractable screens are ready is one way to be prepared. The easiest way to make sure your screens are not damaged during a storm is to make sure they are retracted into their casing or as retracted as possible before the storm hits.

Had a small issue, they came and fixed it. Nice to find people that actually stand behind their product.

They were prompt in taking care of my 20 year old front door screen issue. The tech replaced the spring and was fast, neat and very polite.

We love our garage screens. We also love the service we got from Michele's. They were on time, efficient and did a beautiful job. I would highly recommend Michele's Hide-Away Screens and Awnings.

Five Stars to Michele's Hide-Away Screens From the initial contact with Michele's Hide-Away Screens to the salesperson quote to the install of our front door retractable screen, everyone was professional and knowledgeable. Michelle’s Hide-A-Way makes sure you are satisfied with the product purchased and installation. We highly recommend them.

Excellent company, I’ve had 3 screens installed by Michele’s and have had no issues. Customer service is over the top. Do yourself a favor, have your screens installed by Michele’s, you won’t regret it. The only issue I had was that I changed the battery on the remote and they charged me $50 for a 5-minute repair. After buying several screens from I would hope there would be no charge or a smaller charge. Disappointed for sure but still a first class vender.

I had to call Michelle’s Hideaway Screens to repair the damage I did backing into the closed screen panels of my garage. The service person made quick work of installing new roller brackets, straightening the runners of the base plate and reinstalling the screen panels. Florida garages get very hot and I love having the screens for air flow. I recommend this company.
