This is a real motorized screen & retractable awning project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated June 25, 2026. Total project cost: $9,280.
Estimate breakdown for a motorized screen project totaling $9,280 in Colorado Springs, Colorado: 2 units, including ~11×9 ft, prepared in June 2026.
Where does $9,280 land on the motorized screen pricing curve? Average — at the 51st percentile across 5,406 verified projects. 51% of similar projects cost less than this one, and the national average sits at $12,101. Within Colorado specifically, the average across 419 comparable projects is $10,103 — making this estimate 8% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $50.78 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include Bronze frame, Solar / EQUATE CASHMERE 4709-0000 fabric, Nano 97 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (1 units) is smaller than the typical 2.5-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $9,280, higher than the $4,841 national per-unit average.
Colorado's climate — intense UV, large diurnal temperature swings, and chinook wind events — drives different awning priorities than the national average. The local UV (very high at altitude) pushes fabric selection toward solution-dyed acrylic or PVDF-coated mesh, and the wind exposure (high, particularly along the Front Range) pushes hardware specs toward heavier-gauge cassettes and motorized retraction.The Solar fabric on this estimate is a reasonable match for high-altitude continental conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle Colorado's sun (very high at altitude) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given the wind exposure here (high, particularly along the Front Range) — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term awning life. Estimating in the summer of 2026 is typical for Colorado — most awning installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
At $9,280, this motorized screen project is 23% below the national average of $12,101 based on 5,406 comparable projects in our database.
