Worth knowing for Florida: this is a hot-humid coastal climate, which means subtropical humidity, frequent afternoon storms, and a long cooling season. A well-spec'd screen system for this region should account for the local wind exposure (hurricane and tropical-storm wind loads) and UV load (extreme year-round UV exposure) — 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-humid coastal conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle Florida's sun (extreme year-round UV exposure) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given the wind exposure here (hurricane and tropical-storm wind loads) — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the spring of 2026 is typical for Florida — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
