This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated April 20, 2026. Total project cost: $24,430.
Little Rock homeowners planning a motorized screen installation in the spring of 2026 can use this $24,430 estimate as a real-world reference. The scope: 5 units (~8×9 ft, ~7×9 ft), Black frame, Solar fabric.
At $24,430, this project sits in the 92nd percentile of the 5,406 motorized screen estimates we've analyzed — a "premium" market position. The national average for comparable work is $12,101, putting this estimate 102% above the typical motorized screen cost. Within AR specifically, the average across 128 comparable projects is $12,640 — making this estimate 93% above the local norm. That works out to roughly $86.80 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include Black frame, Solar fabric, Nano 97 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (5 units) is larger than the typical 2.5-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $4,886, higher than the $4,841 national per-unit average.
Worth knowing for Arkansas: this is a humid subtropical / continental climate, which means humid summers and significant tornado-season activity. A well-spec'd screen system for this region should account for the local wind exposure (moderate to high during storm season) and UV load (moderate to high) — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.The Solar selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for humid subtropical / continental conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle Arkansas's sun (moderate to high) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given the wind exposure here (moderate to high during storm season) — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the spring of 2026 is typical for Arkansas — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
At $24,430, this motorized screen project is 102% above the national average of $12,101 based on 5,406 comparable projects in our database.
