For context, North Carolina homeowners installing a screen system are working with humid summers, coastal hurricane exposure, and a long outdoor-living season. That shapes what specs actually matter: wind rating (high along the coast, moderate inland), 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 / coastal conditions — solution-dyed acrylics resist the moderate to high typical of North Carolina better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given high along the coast, moderate inland 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 North Carolina — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
