How Michele’s Began - Keith & Michele’s Story

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.

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 into 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 about her retractable screen door. So, in November 1999, Keith & Michele Bergmaier established Michele’s Hide-Away Screens.

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

Where We Are Now

Keith and Michele decided to hang their hats in cooler weather and enjoy retirement for some well-deserved R & R. The proud new owners, David and Judie Kifer, are dedicated to bringing the same great customer service experience, along with the outstanding workmanship that Keith and Michele started back in 1999.

David and Judie went from owning their own company, to traveling the world, then made their way back to the U.S. where they plan to build upon this wonderful screen company. There are many plans for the future, and we hope to bring our customers more options so you can continue to enjoy bringing in the breeze for many more years to come!

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.
