This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated June 2, 2025. Total project cost: $5,849.
Colorado Springs homeowners planning a motorized screen installation in the summer of 2025 can use this $5,849 estimate as a real-world reference. The scope: 1 unit (~12×9 ft), Solar fabric.
Compared to the 5,188-project national dataset, this $5,849 estimate ranks below average — specifically the 28th percentile. The national median is $9,067 and the average is $12,152, so this project comes in 52% below the mean. Within Colorado specifically, the average across 353 comparable projects is $10,129 — making this estimate 42% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $62.82 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include Solar fabric, Nano 97 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (1 unit) is smaller than the typical 2.6-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $5,849, 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 summer of 2025 is typical for Colorado — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
At $5,849, this motorized screen project is 52% below the national average of $12,152 based on 5,188 comparable projects in our database. It ranks in the 28th percentile, meaning 28% of similar projects cost less. In Colorado, where we have data from 353 projects, this is 42% below the state average of $10,129. The effective cost is approximately $62.82 per square foot of coverage. This project includes 1 motorized screen, fewer than the average of 2.6 per project.
