This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated February 10, 2023. Total project cost: $7,959.
This $7,959 motorized screen project was estimated in February 2023 for a homeowner in Greenwich, CT, covering 2 units measuring ~5×8 ft, ~19×9 ft.
Compared to the 5,385-project national dataset, this $7,959 estimate ranks below average — specifically the 40th percentile. The national median is $9,084 and the average is $12,108, so this project comes in 34% below the mean. Within CT specifically, the average across 128 comparable projects is $12,481 — making this estimate 36% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $39.99 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 $3,979, below the $4,843 national per-unit average.
Worth knowing for Connecticut: this is a coastal New England climate, which means humid summers, coastal salt exposure, and frequent thunderstorm activity. A well-spec'd screen system for this region should account for the local wind exposure (moderate, higher along the shoreline) and UV load (moderate) — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.The Insect selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for coastal New England conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle Connecticut's sun (moderate) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given the wind exposure here (moderate, higher along the shoreline) — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the winter of 2023 is typical for Connecticut — most screen system installations book in the shoulder months, when installer availability is better and material lead times shorten to 3–6 weeks.
At $7,959, this motorized screen project is 34% below the national average of $12,108 based on 5,385 comparable projects in our database.
