This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated July 17, 2023. Total project cost: $12,979.
Estimate breakdown for a motorized screen project totaling $12,979 in Argyle, Texas: 4 units, including ~10×8 ft, prepared in July 2023.
Compared to the 5,183-project national dataset, this $12,979 estimate ranks above average — specifically the 70th percentile. The national median is $9,071 and the average is $12,158, so this project comes in 7% above the mean. Within Texas specifically, the average across 635 comparable projects is $13,303 — making this estimate right at the local norm. That works out to roughly $70.61 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include Bronze frame, Solar fabric, Suntex 90 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (4 units) is larger than the typical 2.6-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $3,245, below the $4,676 national per-unit average.
Worth knowing for Texas: this is a hot summer / mixed climate, which means long hot summers, severe spring storms, and significant temperature swings between coast, hill country, and panhandle. A well-spec'd screen system for this region should anticipate high gust loads, particularly inland and along the Gulf and high UV exposure most of the year — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.The Solar selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for hot summer / mixed conditions — solution-dyed acrylics resist the high UV exposure most of the year typical of Texas better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given high gust loads, particularly inland and along the Gulf in this region — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the summer of 2023 is typical for Texas — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
At $12,979, this motorized screen project is 7% above the national average of $12,158 based on 5,183 comparable projects in our database. It ranks in the 70th percentile, meaning 70% of similar projects cost less. In Texas, where we have data from 635 projects, this is in line with the state average of $13,303. The effective cost is approximately $70.61 per square foot of coverage. This project includes 4 motorized screens, more than the average of 2.6 per project.
