Real August 2024 screen replacement /installation estimate from a verified contractor serving Vail, CO. Total cost came to $4,403 across 2 units.
Worth knowing for Colorado: this is a high-altitude continental climate, which means intense UV, large diurnal temperature swings, and chinook wind events. A well-spec'd outdoor shade for this region should account for the local wind exposure (high, particularly along the Front Range) and UV load (very high at altitude) — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation. Estimating in the summer of 2024 is typical for Colorado — most outdoor shade installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
