This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated May 5, 2026. Total project cost: $5,349.
This $5,349 motorized screen project was estimated in May 2026 for a homeowner in Ketchum, ID, covering 1 unit measuring ~22×8 ft.
Where does $5,349 land on the motorized screen pricing curve? Below average — at the 25th percentile across 5,406 verified projects. 25% of similar projects cost less than this one, and the national average sits at $12,101. Within ID specifically, the average across 161 comparable projects is $11,847 — making this estimate 55% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $27.39 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include White frame, Solar fabric, Suntex 90 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (1 unit) is smaller than the typical 2.5-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $5,349, higher than the $4,841 national per-unit average.
Idaho's climate — dry summers, intense high-altitude UV, and significant winter snow load — drives different screen system priorities than the national average. The local UV (high at altitude) pushes fabric selection toward solution-dyed acrylic or PVDF-coated mesh, and the wind exposure (moderate, higher in canyons) pushes hardware specs toward heavier-gauge cassettes and motorized retraction.The Solar selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for high desert / mountain conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle Idaho's sun (high at altitude) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given the wind exposure here (moderate, higher in canyons) — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the spring of 2026 is typical for Idaho — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
