Pricing guidance for motorized screens in North Beach, Maryland, drawn from anonymized contractor estimates and manufacturer order data. We have 2 verified local projects observed at $3,097 and $3,418, alongside a Maryland statewide benchmark of $9,944 across 143 projects. No city-local average is claimed. The benchmark average motorized screen measures 13 × 9 ft (width × height), adding scope context to the price data.
The dataset contains 2 verified North Beach motorized screen projects, with estimate-derived product totals of $3,097 and $3,418. A sample this small cannot establish a typical North Beach price. Headline comparisons therefore use the Maryland statewide benchmark of $9,944 across 143 projects.
These are anonymized estimate records, not model quotes. The displayed total covers the matching motorized screen line items in the estimate; installation labor, electrical work, freight, tax, permits, and unrelated products may be separate unless included in those matching lines.
Compare screen quotes at the same opening width and height, then check mesh, motor and control, side-track or zipper system, hood, frame, mount, and quantity. A price for a different opening or retention system is not an apples-to-apples comparison. Ask each seller to itemize the product, selected options, freight, tax, and installation so you can see why totals differ.
For another clearly labeled benchmark, compare Gibson Island. Those records are context, not evidence of a North Beach market price.
The 2 verified North Beach projects shown on this page remain direct local evidence, but the sample is too small to call a typical city price. The comparison table therefore uses 143 verified motorized screen projects across Maryland as a broader benchmark, not as measured North Beach pricing.

| Metric | Maryland | National |
|---|---|---|
| Average Installation Cost | $478 | $458 |
| Median Installation Cost | $513 | $475 |
| Installation Range | $100 to $750 | $100 to $4,950 |
| Installation as % of Product Cost | 11.2% | 10.4% |
| Data Points | 108 installations | 4956 installations |
Professional installation in Maryland runs about 4% above the national average, reflecting higher regional labor rates. Based on 108 real installation line items from motorized screen projects in Maryland.
This illustrative breakdown applies common category shares to the Maryland statewide benchmark of $9,944. It is a budgeting model, not a measured North Beach, Maryland component average. Actual percentages vary with motor brand, fabric grade, freight, and installation complexity.
| Component | Typical Share | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware (housing, brackets, end caps, side rails) | ~40% | $3,978 |
| Fabric or mesh (per square foot, UV/insect rated) | ~20% | $1,989 |
| Motor & controls (Somfy / Dooya, remote, wind sensor) | ~15% | $1,492 |
| Installation labor (mounting, electrical, calibration) | ~20% | $1,989 |
| Permits, misc. hardware, freight | ~5% | $496 |
How to save: Buying the hardware, fabric, and motor direct from a manufacturer-direct supplier (and hiring a local installer for labor only) typically removes 25–35% of the installed-by-installer price — that's the markup the installer would otherwise add to the products.

We have 2 verified motorized screen projects in North Beach, Maryland, observed at $3,097 and $3,418. Because that sample is small, aggregate figures use the Maryland statewide benchmark of $9,944 across 143 projects.
The Maryland statewide benchmark is $9,944, compared with the national average of $10,033. It is below the national average. This is a budgeting proxy for North Beach, Maryland, not a measured city average.
Based on historical pricing data, Mar tends to have the lowest average prices ($8,741) while Jan is peak season ($12,940). Oct prices are near the annual average.
Key factors include size and dimensions, motor type (Somfy premium vs standard), fabric or mesh selection, mounting complexity, number of units, and local labor rates.
Yes. Buying direct through our shop eliminates installer markup. You get the same manufacturer-direct products at a lower price, then hire a local installer for labor only. Browse our motorized screens shop or use the configurator to build and price your own.
Permitting requirements for motorized screens vary by jurisdiction in Maryland. Most retractable, non-structural installations on existing residential structures do not require a permit — but anything that ties into electrical service, modifies a structural wall, or is installed in an HOA-governed community typically does. Check with your local building department before scheduling installation, and request that your installer pull any required permits (rather than pulling them yourself) so the work is warranted under their license.
Local installers may mark up products above wholesale and add labor on top. Buying direct (manufacturer-direct shop or configurator) separates the product price from local installation labor. The Maryland statewide benchmark on this page is $9,944; compare an itemized local quote before estimating any savings.
Most single-unit motorized screen installations take 2–4 hours on-site for a qualified installer, plus an initial site visit for measuring. Multi-unit projects can run a half-day to a full day. Lead time from order to installation is typically 3–6 weeks for stocked sizes and colors, and 6–10 weeks for custom sizes or specialty fabrics. Schedule before peak summer if you want to use the product through the current outdoor-living season.
