This is a real motorized screen & screen extrusion project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated May 8, 2025. Total project cost: $15,518.
Real May 2025 motorized screen estimate from a verified contractor serving Colorado Springs, Colorado. Total cost came to $15,518 across 5 units (~15×9 ft, ~16×9 ft).
Where does $15,518 land on the motorized screen pricing curve? Premium — at the 79th percentile across 5,188 verified projects. 79% of similar projects cost less than this one, and the national average sits at $12,152. Within Colorado specifically, the average across 353 comparable projects is $10,129 — making this estimate 53% above the local norm. That works out to roughly $46.56 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include Solar fabric, Nano 97 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (3 units) is larger than the typical 2.6-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $5,173, higher than the $4,674 national per-unit average.
Colorado's climate — intense UV, large diurnal temperature swings, and chinook wind events — drives different screen system priorities than the national average. Very high at altitude pushes fabric selection toward solution-dyed acrylic or PVDF-coated mesh, and high, particularly along the Front Range push hardware specs toward heavier-gauge cassettes and motorized retraction.The Solar selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for high-altitude continental conditions — solution-dyed acrylics resist the very high at altitude typical of Colorado better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given high, particularly along the Front Range in this region — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the spring of 2025 is typical for Colorado — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
At $15,518, this motorized screen project is 28% above the national average of $12,152 based on 5,188 comparable projects in our database. It ranks in the 79th percentile, meaning 79% of similar projects cost less. In Colorado, where we have data from 353 projects, this is 53% above the state average of $10,129. The effective cost is approximately $46.56 per square foot of coverage. This project includes 3 motorized screens, more than the average of 2.6 per project.
