This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated April 11, 2022. Total project cost: $20,454.
This $20,454 motorized screen project was estimated in April 2022 for a homeowner in Alma, Georgia, covering 6 units measuring ~14×5 ft, ~14×8 ft, ~10×4 ft.
At $20,454, this project sits in the 88th percentile of the 5,406 motorized screen estimates we've analyzed — a "premium" market position. The national average for comparable work is $12,101, putting this estimate 69% above the typical motorized screen cost. Within Georgia specifically, the average across 194 comparable projects is $13,738 — making this estimate 49% above the local norm. That works out to roughly $79.84 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include White frame, Solar / Vinyl fabric, Suntex 95 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (6 units) is larger than the typical 2.5-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $3,409, below the $4,841 national per-unit average.
Worth knowing for Georgia: this is a humid subtropical climate, which means long hot summers, severe-storm activity, and coastal humidity along the Atlantic. A well-spec'd screen system for this region should account for the local wind exposure (moderate, higher on the coast) and UV load (high) — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.The Solar selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for humid subtropical conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle Georgia's sun (high) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given the wind exposure here (moderate, higher on the coast) — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the spring of 2022 is typical for Georgia — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
At $20,454, this motorized screen project is 69% above the national average of $12,101 based on 5,406 comparable projects in our database.
