This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated May 17, 2026. Total project cost: $7,915.
Estimate breakdown for a motorized screen project totaling $7,915 in Ross, CA: 2 units, including ~12×9 ft, prepared in May 2026.
Compared to the 5,406-project national dataset, this $7,915 estimate ranks below average — specifically the 39th percentile. The national median is $9,084 and the average is $12,101, so this project comes in 35% below the mean. Within CA specifically, the average across 297 comparable projects is $11,720 — making this estimate 32% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $37.78 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include White frame, Solar fabric, Nano 95 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (2 units) is smaller than the typical 2.5-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $3,958, below the $4,841 national per-unit average.
Worth knowing for California: this is a Mediterranean / coastal climate, which means mild coastal temperatures inland heat, and salt-air corrosion near the coast. A well-spec'd screen system for this region should account for the local wind exposure (moderate, with sundowner and Santa Ana events in southern regions) and UV load (high UV at altitude and in inland valleys) — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.The Solar selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for Mediterranean / coastal conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle California's sun (high UV at altitude and in inland valleys) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given the wind exposure here (moderate, with sundowner and Santa Ana events in southern regions) — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the spring of 2026 is typical for California — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
At $7,915, this motorized screen project is 35% below the national average of $12,101 based on 5,406 comparable projects in our database. It ranks in the 39th percentile, meaning 39% of similar projects cost less. In CA, where we have data from 297 projects, this is 32% below the state average of $11,720. The effective cost is approximately $37.78 per square foot of coverage. This project includes 2 motorized screens, fewer than the average of 2.5 per project.
