Are retractable screens just as good as regular screen doors?

Are retractable screens just as good as regular screen doors?

Retractable screens are not just as good as regular screen doors... they’re much, much better. Especially one from Michele’s Hide-Away Screens & Awnings, Central Florida’s leader in innovative screen solutions!

With so many advantages over a traditional swinging screen door, once you own a retractable screen, you’ll likely never go back.

Retractable screens avoid DISTRACTING by RETRACTING

Your front door is the first thing anyone notices when they approach your home. So, why would you want your beautiful front door covered up with a traditional screen door? Retractable screens disappear and blend into the background while not in use, so you can have the aesthetically pleasing best of both worlds.

Never needing to open two doors as you come and go

How aggravating is it navigating through two doors while trying to carry in groceries, baby carriers, and kids? With a retractable screen that disappears, there’s one less thing in your way as you rush through your day. Go in and out in a snap and enjoy the breeze when you’re finally able to relax!

Invisible Visibility

Sure, the “invisible when not in use” aspect is one of the best things about a retractable screen. But, did you know that even when in use, your view is crystal clear through practically invisible bug screen fabric? Unlike a traditional screen door, you’ll enjoy privacy from the inside with no distracting or busy screen designs or kick plates inhibiting your view.

Truly free flowing breeze

Because there is no grill work, kick plate, or panels inhibiting airflow, a retractable screen lets you fully enjoy the free flowing breeze you’d feel as though there were nothing there at all. Why only get half the breeze on a beautiful day, when you can enjoy breathing the free flowing air through your retractable screen.

Longer Life

Because the screen fabric is rolled up and protected in its housing off to the side of your door when not in use, it lasts much longer. Unlike traditional swinging screen doors, your screen fabric is protected from permanent exposure to your kids, pets, and weather. The result? A longer lasting screen!

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.
