Worth knowing for Texas: this is a hot summer / mixed climate, which means long hot summers, severe spring storms, and significant temperature swings between coast, hill country, and panhandle. A well-spec'd screen system for this region should anticipate high gust loads, particularly inland and along the Gulf and high UV exposure most of the year — 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 summer / mixed conditions — solution-dyed acrylics resist the high UV exposure most of the year typical of Texas better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given high gust loads, particularly inland and along the Gulf in this region — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the summer of 2024 is typical for Texas — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
