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 Virginia. 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 Harrisonburg, Virginia local benchmark on this page is $22,191; 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.
