How retractable screens are better than traditional screen doors.

How retractable screens are better than traditional screen doors.

Growing up many houses had a screen door to let in fresh air and keep the bugs out. These doors were a huge blessing on hot nights and could help keep the entire house cool. Just like with everything technology improves on an already great idea and makes it better. So now we have a new and improve screen door in the form of a retractable screen.

Retractable screen doors have so many more advantages than traditional screen doors. Once you own one, you will never go back.

Retractable screens make your front door look better. When people see your home, your front door is the first thing they notice. Why hide your beautiful front door with an ugly screen door? Retractable screens disappear when not in use and pull out when you need them, so they are never coving your front door if you don't want them to.

Just one door to open. It can get very troublesome to try to get in the front door carrying groceries, kids or anything else. Traditional screen doors make it harder because you have to hold it open while going through. Retractable screens disappear when you don't need them so they will never get in your way!

You can see out, but they can't see in. When using a retractable screen, you can see outside, but your neighbors can't see in. So you can enjoy privacy and fresh air. There is also no big metal plate on the bottom, so nothing gets in the way of bringing in the breeze.

Truly free-flowing breeze. There is no grill work, kick plate, or panels preventing airflow, a retractable screen lets in more fresh air. Why let big pieces of metal get in the way of enjoying the cool breeze?

It lasts longer. Retractable screens are made of fabric that rolls up and stays protected in its housing off to the side of your door when not in use, which means it lasts much longer. Traditional screen doors are left out in the elements 24/7 with no protection from the sun, wind, rain, and critters. The result is that retractable screens have a much longer life!

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.
