Motorized Screen Project in Greenwich, CT — Real Pricing Data

Name: Motorized Screen Pricing Comparison Data
Creator: Riser Shade

This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated June 5, 2024. Total project cost: $17,838.

This $17,838 motorized screen project was estimated in June 2024 for a homeowner in Greenwich, CT, covering 4 units measuring ~18×10 ft, ~12×10 ft.

Pricing context: 84% of the 5,406 comparable motorized screen projects in our database cost less than $17,838, putting this estimate in "premium" territory. Versus the $12,101 national average, it's 47% above the norm. Within CT specifically, the average across 128 comparable projects is $12,481 — making this estimate 43% above the local norm. That works out to roughly $30.58 per square foot of coverage.

Specifications include Solar fabric, Suntex 95 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (4 units) is larger than the typical 2.5-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $4,460, below the $4,841 national per-unit average.

Connecticut's climate — humid summers, coastal salt exposure, and frequent thunderstorm activity — drives different screen system priorities than the national average. The local UV (moderate) pushes fabric selection toward solution-dyed acrylic or PVDF-coated mesh, and the wind exposure (moderate, higher along the shoreline) pushes hardware specs toward heavier-gauge cassettes and motorized retraction.The Solar selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for coastal New England conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle Connecticut's sun (moderate) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given the wind exposure here (moderate, higher along the shoreline) — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the summer of 2024 is typical for Connecticut — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
