This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated March 3, 2026. Total project cost: $10,714.
Estimate breakdown for a motorized screen project totaling $10,714 in Williamsburg, Michigan: 2 units, including ~17×10 ft, prepared in March 2026.
Pricing context: 58% of the 5,363 comparable motorized screen projects in our database cost less than $10,714, putting this estimate in "above average" territory. Versus the $12,110 national average, it's 12% below the norm. Within Michigan specifically, the average across 26 comparable projects is $10,555 — making this estimate right at the local norm. That works out to roughly $35.71 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include White frame, Insect fabric, Motor control. Project scope (2 units) is smaller than the typical 2.5-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $5,357, higher than the $4,844 national per-unit average.
Michigan's climate — lake-effect humidity, cold winters, and a short but intense outdoor season — drives different screen system priorities than the national average. The local UV (moderate) pushes fabric selection toward solution-dyed acrylic or PVDF-coated mesh, and the wind exposure (moderate to high near the lakes) pushes hardware specs toward heavier-gauge cassettes and motorized retraction.The Insect selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for Great Lakes continental conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle Michigan's sun (moderate) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given the wind exposure here (moderate to high near the lakes) — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the spring of 2026 is typical for Michigan — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
At $10,714, this motorized screen project is 12% below the national average of $12,110 based on 5,363 comparable projects in our database.
