This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated May 6, 2026. Total project cost: $11,477.
Poolville homeowners planning a motorized screen installation in the spring of 2026 can use this $11,477 estimate as a real-world reference. The scope: 3 units (~9×9 ft, ~10×9 ft), Bronze frame, Solar fabric.
Pricing context: 62% of the 5,406 comparable motorized screen projects in our database cost less than $11,477, putting this estimate in "above average" territory. Versus the $12,101 national average, it's in line with the norm. Within Texas specifically, the average across 647 comparable projects is $13,272 — making this estimate 14% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $43.62 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include Bronze frame, Solar fabric, Suntex 90 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (3 units) is larger than the typical 2.5-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $3,826, below the $4,841 national per-unit average.
Texas's climate — long hot summers, severe spring storms, and significant temperature swings between coast, hill country, and panhandle — drives different screen system priorities than the national average. The local UV (high UV exposure most of the year) pushes fabric selection toward solution-dyed acrylic or PVDF-coated mesh, and the wind exposure (high gust loads, particularly inland and along the Gulf) pushes hardware specs toward heavier-gauge cassettes and motorized retraction.The Solar selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for hot summer / mixed conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle Texas's sun (high UV exposure most of the year) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given the wind exposure here (high gust loads, particularly inland and along the Gulf) — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the spring of 2026 is typical for Texas — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
At $11,477, this motorized screen project is within 5% of the national average of $12,101 based on 5,406 comparable projects in our database. It ranks in the 62th percentile, meaning 62% of similar projects cost less. In Texas, where we have data from 647 projects, this is 14% below the state average of $13,272. The effective cost is approximately $43.62 per square foot of coverage. This project includes 3 motorized screens, more than the average of 2.5 per project.
