This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated March 13, 2024. Total project cost: $18,663.
Looking at what a motorized screen actually costs in Orange Park, Florida? This professional estimate from March 2024 totaled $18,663 for 2 units, with the largest measuring ~15×10 ft.
Compared to the 5,188-project national dataset, this $18,663 estimate ranks premium — specifically the 85th percentile. The national median is $9,067 and the average is $12,152, so this project comes in 54% above the mean. Within Florida specifically, the average across 449 comparable projects is $11,800 — making this estimate 58% above the local norm. That works out to roughly $28.84 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include Bronze frame, Solar fabric, Suntex 95 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (2 units) is smaller than the typical 2.6-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $9,332, higher than the $4,674 national per-unit average.
Worth knowing for Florida: this is a hot-humid coastal climate, which means subtropical humidity, frequent afternoon storms, and a long cooling season. A well-spec'd screen system for this region should anticipate hurricane and tropical-storm wind loads and extreme year-round UV exposure — 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-humid coastal conditions — solution-dyed acrylics resist the extreme year-round UV exposure typical of Florida better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given hurricane and tropical-storm wind loads in this region — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the spring of 2024 is typical for Florida — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
At $18,663, this motorized screen project is 54% above the national average of $12,152 based on 5,188 comparable projects in our database.
