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.

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!

I highly recommend Michele's Hide-a-Way Screen company for you garage. The installer showed up right on schedule. He showed us exactly what he was going to do and proceeded. After installing, he meticulously powered the screen up and down to remove any uneven-ness and/or wrinkles. My garage floor wasn't the most level and he made absoluyely sure there were no gaps anywhere. Now our entire house has plenty of cross ventilation with zero leaves or bugs in the garage. Also, the privacy, while working in the garage, is a big plus.

Great experience as usual with Michele's Hide-Away! Used them several times and always happy with their products and service. This time they installed a beautiful laundry door to garage retractable screen. We absolutely love it! Let's a nice breeze though the house with all the windows open in Spring and Fall of the year. Excellent company to do business with!
