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.

The technician was on time and upbeat and efficient and quick and honest. He suspected that replacement parts might be needed. He determined that they weren’t and said so. I will definitely call them whenever needed.

Needed a repair on our garage door screen. As in the past, Michele’s was easy to make appointment, arrived on time, repair completed well, and priced very fairly. Highly recommend contacting them if you need a new screen or a repair.

Three easy steps.1) Call set up appointment for them to come measure.2) wait a few weeks for your screen to be made. 3) Make apt. for them to install. An absolutely beautiful job.

We highly recommend Michele’s Hide-Away Screens. Back in 2024 we had their garage screens installed. We were very pleased with the work. Now in 2026 we called for a service on the doors. Again, the communication with the office staff and the service performed by their technician, Jack, was excellent. We definitely would recommend this company for your screening needs.

This company is awesome. They had a service man here to fix my screen that came off the track. Very professional and nice. Fixed the screen and also sprayed the track for me.

From start to finish the people were amazing. Bob installed my motorized screen today and changed our garage space from a garage to a hang out space with screen. I recommend Michele's screen to everyone

We love our new screen doors on our garage. The installer was very professional. Thank you for a wonderful product. Our old garage screen slider doors had the rollers on the bottom. We love the rollers on the top they open and close very easily and won’t get dirty like the old ones.

What a great company! Our garage door screen separated on one side and we got an appointment for between noon and 2 PM today. At the stroke of 12, Bob arrives! He spent nearly an hour, cleaning all the rails, fixing a squeak and reattaching the side (it's basically a zipper but the frame needed to be removed to get to the ends). Very happy with his work. Update: so here it is, 3 years after our initial installation and one of our remotes went belly-up. After calling the company, we got an appointment for a few days later. Jack came to our house at the appointed time and performed some magic (aka, reprogrammed the remote) and within 10 minutes, all was right with the world! And under warranty, so no charge! Great company!
