Motorized Screen Project in Little Rock, AR — 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 March 2, 2023. Total project cost: $7,921.

This $7,921 motorized screen project was estimated in March 2023 for a homeowner in Little Rock, AR, covering 2 units measuring ~11×9 ft, ~9×9 ft.

At $7,921, this project sits in the 39th percentile of the 5,380 motorized screen estimates we've analyzed — a "below average" market position. The national average for comparable work is $12,109, putting this estimate 35% below the typical motorized screen cost. Within AR specifically, the average across 128 comparable projects is $12,640 — making this estimate 37% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $45.59 per square foot of coverage.

Specifications include White frame, Solar fabric, Suntex 90 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (2 units) is smaller than the typical 2.5-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $3,960, below the $4,843 national per-unit average.

For context, Arkansas homeowners installing a screen system are working with humid summers and significant tornado-season activity. That shapes what specs actually matter: wind rating (moderate to high during storm season), UV-stable fabrics (moderate to high), and corrosion-resistant hardware where salt-air or humidity is present.The Solar selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for humid subtropical / continental conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle Arkansas's sun (moderate to high) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given the wind exposure here (moderate to high during storm season) — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the spring of 2023 is typical for Arkansas — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
