Turn Your Garage into Something Other Than a Parking Space.

Turn Your Garage into Something Other Than a Parking Space.

Perhaps you long for a patio, art studio, game room, workshop, home gym or man cave?
Imagine a rec room for the kids. A wide-open area where they can build, play, draw and game until their heart’s content. This means no more Legos to pick up or having to stash game controllers before receiving company. What happens in the rec room, stays in the rec room.

You could turn your garage into a breezy, screened-in patio. Maybe a nice beach-themed sofa, a couple of chairs, a table for drinks and a colorful throw rug. Frame all of this with a couple of pretty potted trees and some ocean scented candles. You could be sipping margaritas with the wind in your hair while the bugs stay out there. Just like that, you could have a marvelous outdoor room.

How about a man-cave? With a retractable privacy screen on the garage, you could add a fridge and a recliner or two. Throw in TV, dart board, pool table, stereo system and you’d have a fantastic space.

Maybe you’ve always wanted a home gym. A garage-turned-gym is about as perfect as is gets. You’ll have a wide-open area for all your weights and equipment. Using a retractable screen, you can work out in the fresh air no matter what the weather brings.

The possibilities are endless. Think about it: art studio, writing room, home brewery, office, dance studio. What have you always wanted? It’s as simple as adding a retractable screen and making it a space to call your own.

The service i received was excellent. I thought a new motor was needed for garage screen, but the repairman said that the motor was working well and just needed service. I appreciated the honesty.

We just bought a home in Ocala in June 2025. We have a beautiful front porch, but it is in direct sunlight and very HOT! We searched around and talked to a couple of companies looking for awning options and frankly I picked Michele's Hide-Away Screens and Awning because the woman who answered the call was very pleasant, informative and helpful. She listened to our needs and made a great recommendation. We chose to move forward with them and ordered a Retractable Awning which is flush mounted to the house when closed. The order was placed; I was advised a time that it would be delivered to their location because they are custom made and received a call that it arrived - earlier than expected. They called me to schedule the installation. The install arrived on time and went right to work. The install took a couple of hours and was done without any issues and looked fantastic. EVEN BETTER - when the awning is opened and covers the porch it is so much cooler now. The Install Team cleaned up the area and we are overjoyed with the entire experience. We will be going back to them to get a Motorized Screen Door for our Garage as well. We Highly Recommend Michele's Hide-Away Screens and Awnings to any in need. I just can't say enough positive things about the entire group of people. Chuck S. Ocala FL
