Motorized Screen Project in Saint Augustine, Florida — Real Pricing Data

Name: Motorized Screen Pricing Comparison Data
Creator: Riser Shade

This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated April 24, 2023. Total project cost: $8,811.

Real April 2023 motorized screen estimate from a verified contractor serving Saint Augustine, Florida. Total cost came to $8,811 across 2 units (~14×10 ft, ~17×10 ft).

Pricing context: 48% of the 5,188 comparable motorized screen projects in our database cost less than $8,811, putting this estimate in "average" territory. Versus the $12,152 national average, it's 27% below the norm. Within Florida specifically, the average across 449 comparable projects is $11,800 — making this estimate 25% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $25.89 per square foot of coverage.

Specifications include White frame, Insect fabric, Motor control. Project scope (2 units) is smaller than the typical 2.6-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $4,405, below the $4,674 national per-unit average.

Florida's climate — subtropical humidity, frequent afternoon storms, and a long cooling season — drives different screen system priorities than the national average. Extreme year-round UV exposure pushes fabric selection toward solution-dyed acrylic or PVDF-coated mesh, and hurricane and tropical-storm wind loads push hardware specs toward heavier-gauge cassettes and motorized retraction.The Insect selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for hot-humid coastal conditions — solution-dyed acrylics resist the extreme year-round UV exposure typical of Florida better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given hurricane and tropical-storm wind loads in this region — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the spring of 2023 is typical for Florida — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
