About

Once upon a time, a young businessman was desperately searching for a way to save his fledgling independent sales agency. He had an interesting new product that he believed had huge potential. But, for some reason, it just wasn’t catching on in the marketplace.

So in an attempt to generate much-needed sales, the businessman came up with an idea. As time would tell, this idea would, unfortunately, not be enough to save his agency; but, ironically, it led to something beyond even his wild imagination.

Knowing it was probably a long shot, he suggested to his wife that she might be able to help rescue the business by approaching their friends and neighbors about this ‘disappearing’ screen door that his agency had recently been commissioned to launch in Florida.

“But I have zero sales experience and barely even know how to work a tape measure! And you want me to sell?” was her initial response. 

Being the team player that she is, Michele learned all that she could about the product, and it wasn’t long before she realized how enthusiastically receptive people were to her retractable screen door. So in November 1999, Keith and Michele Bergmaier established Michele’s Hide~Away Screens.

In 2022, the reins of Michele's Hide-Away Screens were handed over to another Florida native couple, David and Judie Kifer. They aim to uphold and maybe even exceed the high standards Keith and Michele set by delivering service and quality that is second to none.

“Every day we challenge ourselves to be better than our competitors and we refuse to compromise on quality or customer service."

For more than 20 years, Michele's Hide-Away Screens & Awnings has been providing Central Florida with the most reliable and beautiful retractable screens. Motorized or manual, for garages, doors, lanais and more. Bring in the breeze, and keep out the bugs, with Michele's Hide-Away Screens & Awnings.

Great company to deal with. Long time Ocala owned business. Got text 2 days prior who would come to service. Jack was patient, polite, and professional. He's been servicing many years at Michelle's, and showed me what he was doing every step of the way. I was never oversold. I was happy Jack was able to get the motorized screen running more efficient after servicing. I highly recommend and would definitely use them in the future.

I just had my old lifestyle screen removed and replaced with a motorized unit. Jack was my installer he showed up on time and got right to work. I was particularly impressed with his knowledge of the product and how quickly he had it installed. Competitive pricing superior installation and a quick clean up. I would highly recommend Michele’s to anyone in the market for garage screens.
