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.

We are very pleased with our roll down garage screen installed by Jack from Michele’s Hide-Away screens. He did a very professional job, and explained everything to us.

We went to Michele’s Hideaway Screens and Awnings with the intention of asking detailed questions about the product, installation, warranty, pricing, company background, privacy options, security, and weather durability. When we arrived, we spoke with Mick, who sat with us and answered every question thoroughly. He showed us samples of the screens, demonstrated how they operate, and explained what they would look like once installed. He also provided a clear timeframe for when the screen would be available. Because we could see the quality of the products firsthand — along with the professionalism and customer service in how our questions were handled — we decided to move forward and placed an order for the Super Screen, which allows for a bit more airflow into the garage. Our order was placed on June 25th, and installation was completed on July 31st, exactly within the timeframe they had given us. Bob arrived on time and took great care with the installation, doing an excellent job. He left the area clean and took the time to explain how to properly maintain the screen. Overall, the experience from start to finish was smooth, professional, and reassuring. We are very pleased with both the product and the service we received.

Michele’s Hideway installed a garage door screen at my residence. They did a fantastic job and both the installer and the technician that came and did measurements were very professional. I love it!

The screens for our garage were installed. They slide easily. They improve the appearance of the house. The garage clutter is no longer visible. I have recommended Michele's Hideaway screens to a neighbor and a friend. All have noticed how nice they look.
