This is a real retractable awning & motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated February 10, 2025. Total project cost: $4,905.
Saint Petersburg homeowners planning a retractable awning installation in the winter of 2025 can use this $4,905 estimate as a real-world reference. The scope: 2 units (13×8 ft, ~8×8 ft), Beige frame, LINEN 4633-0000 fabric.
Compared to the 2,713-project national dataset, this $4,905 estimate ranks below average — specifically the 21st percentile. The national median is $5,793 and the average is $6,811, so this project comes in 28% below the mean. Within Florida specifically, the average across 167 comparable projects is $7,399 — making this estimate 34% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $20.27 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include Beige frame, LINEN 4633-0000 / Solar fabric, Suntex 80 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (1 units) is smaller than the typical 1.1-unit retractable awning project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $4,905, below the $6,192 national per-unit average.
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 awning for this region should anticipate hurricane and tropical-storm wind loads and extreme year-round UV exposure — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.The LINEN 4633-0000 fabric on this estimate is a reasonable match for hot-humid coastal conditions — solution-dyed acrylics resist the extreme year-round UV exposure typical of Florida better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given hurricane and tropical-storm wind loads in this region — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term awning life. Estimating in the winter of 2025 is typical for Florida — most awning installations book in the shoulder months, when installer availability is better and material lead times shorten to 3–6 weeks.
