This is a real cross-arm retractable awning & motorized screen & cable-guided screen system project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated June 24, 2026. Total project cost: $3,214.
This anonymized cross-arm retractable awning estimate from June 2026 is associated with Austin, Texas. It totals $3,214 across 3 units measuring 10×12 ft. The record does not document a customer review or completed-project outcome.
Specifications include Beige / White frames, Solar fabric, Suntex 90 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (1 units) is smaller than the typical 1.1-unit cross-arm retractable awning project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $3,214, below the $6,400 national per-unit average.
Compared to the 24-project national dataset, this $3,214 estimate ranks below average — specifically the 8th percentile. The national median is $4,804 and the average is $7,040, so this project comes in 54% below the mean. Within the Texas dataset, the average across 5 comparable projects is $5,542 — making this estimate 42% below the statewide benchmark. That works out to roughly $16.63 per square foot of coverage.
This editorial context comes from broad state climate guidance, not from the customer or estimate record. Texas is categorized here as a hot summer / mixed climate (long hot summers, severe spring storms, and significant temperature swings between coast, hill country, and panhandle). For general awning planning, independently verify product ratings for the regional wind exposure (high gust loads, particularly inland and along the Gulf), UV load (high UV exposure most of the year), mounting surface, and local code requirements.
At $3,214, this cross-arm retractable awning project is 54% below the national average of $7,040 based on 24 comparable projects in our database. It ranks in the 8th percentile, meaning 8% of similar projects cost less. In Texas, where we have data from 5 projects, this is 42% below the state average of $5,542. The effective cost is approximately $16.63 per square foot of coverage. This project includes 1 cross-arm retractable awning, fewer than the average of 1.1 per project.
