5 Reasons Autumn is the best time of year to bring in the breeze.

5 Reasons Autumn is the best time of year to bring in the breeze.

After the hottest Summer on record, it's safe to say that as Floridians, we are so glad Autumn has arrived! While people in other parts of the country seem to look forward to Spring and Summer as the best times to open up the doors and windows and bring in the breeze, we Floridians count the days when the outdoor thermometer finally stays below 85 degrees.

The days get shorter, the temperature gets milder, and the clothes get cozier, and here are 5 reasons Autumn is the best time of year to bring in the breeze:

  1. Fresh Fall Air - While fresh air may seem like the most obvious benefit of bringing in the breeze, after spending a stifling summer indoors, we may have forgotten the beauty of its simplicity. Fresh air helps us think clearer, breathe easier, reduce allergies, and improve our mood.
  2. Reduces Condensation and Mold Buildup - In addition to the sweltering heat, Florida's summer brings, humidity is a huge Summer factor. While we've kept our windows and doors closed to block out the heat and humidity, condensation can build up around windows and doors resulting in a very real risk of mildew and mold. It's time to open the windows and dry out your home and let in the Fall breeze.
  3. Reduces Your Power Bill and Lower Your Carbon Footprint - The minute you put your retractable screen to use, you've already sent your energy costs and carbon footprint in a downward motion. You'll instantly reduce the need for running your air conditioning, and in turn, reduce harmful emissions that come from your A/C's operation.
  4. Makes you Feel Better - As mentioned above, fresh air makes you feel better in a number of ways. Turning off your air conditioner and opening your windows and doors (with screens of course) clears out the stuffiness in the air and gives you a general sense of well-being and connection with your surroundings.
  5. Lets your Enjoy Your View - Regardless of what surrounds your property, a clear view of the outdoors in Autumn is a stunning sight to behold. With your retractable screen, you can enjoy this view with complete privacy and without sharing it with pesky bugs.

Very professional and helpful staff. They showed up when scheduled and took care of every little detail. Our newly screened porch is gorgeous and we love our huge new hideaway screen door! I highly recommend Michelle‘s Hideaway screens for any of your automatic screen door needs.

We used Michele's to repair our hide away screen door on our front door. Our door required maintenance to work properly. I want to point out that any issues it had was probably caused by either the previous pets who resided here, and/or dirt and debris from the weather. Probably both to be fair. We really like the door for how it is basically hidden and mostly sight until in use. No it is not the most rugged design, but that is the trade off for this hidden convenience. Honestly, I chose Michele's because they origanally installed the hide away screen door in the first place. We were not the residents at that time, but had paperwork informing us of this. So we chose Michele's mainly for that reason. Be that as it may, Michele's scheduled us an appointment in a very reasonable time frame, that worked for us. it's been a while, but I think the person who made the service call, was named Bob. Although I could be wrong. Anyway, I have no complaints as to the quality of his work. He checked out the door to see what the issue was. As I expected, it really needed a re-screening. The screen door was removed and taken back to Michele's shop for a new screening. Another appointment was scheduled in fairly quick order for re-install. At that time, the door was reinstalled and tested. Much better. I will say that Michele's seemed to do a good job in all aspects between getting me an appointment that worked for me, to the fairly quick repair and reinstall. Even the time of both visits to our home was efficient and quick. As such, both times didn't have us waiting around to any long extent. The price for this service wasn't what I would call inexpensive. But to be fair, I don't feel that it was outrageous and I was taken advantage of in any way. And they were up front with the costs involved for just a service call, and again before the door was removed because it required more than just a service call. All in all, Michele's did a good job and I have no complaints to speak of. Like with anything, yes I would have preferred the cost was less. But I do feel that in my opinion, the price was probably fairly reasonable considering the prompt service and repair. So yes I would recommend and use Michele's again if the need arose.

We love our new screen. Bob came out to install it on time and was very professional and courteous. Bob took his time and insured it was installed perfectly. He also made sure it worked flawlessly before he left. Much better quality than the ones they sell at the big box stores. Highly recommend this company for any screens you are interested in getting for your home. Our only regret is not getting this done sooner.
