This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated June 4, 2024. Total project cost: $9,908.
Estimate breakdown for a motorized screen project totaling $9,908 in Ketchum, ID: 2 units, including ~17×12 ft, prepared in June 2024.
Pricing context: 54% of the 5,406 comparable motorized screen projects in our database cost less than $9,908, putting this estimate in "average" territory. Versus the $12,101 national average, it's 18% below the norm. Within ID specifically, the average across 161 comparable projects is $11,847 — making this estimate 16% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $27.13 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include Solar fabric, Suntex 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 $4,954, higher than the $4,841 national per-unit average.
Worth knowing for Idaho: this is a high desert / mountain climate, which means dry summers, intense high-altitude UV, and significant winter snow load. A well-spec'd screen system for this region should account for the local wind exposure (moderate, higher in canyons) and UV load (high at altitude) — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.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 summer of 2024 is typical for Idaho — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
At $9,908, this motorized screen project is 18% below the national average of $12,101 based on 5,406 comparable projects in our database.
