This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated June 2, 2025. Total project cost: $5,193.
This $5,193 motorized screen project was estimated in June 2025 for a homeowner in Weatherford, Texas, covering 1 unit measuring ~18×10 ft.
At $5,193, this project sits in the 24th percentile of the 5,183 motorized screen estimates we've analyzed — a "below average" market position. The national average for comparable work is $12,158, putting this estimate 57% below the typical motorized screen cost. Within Texas specifically, the average across 635 comparable projects is $13,303 — making this estimate 61% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $30.55 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include Solar fabric, Suntex 80 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 $5,193, higher than the $4,676 national per-unit average.
Worth knowing for Texas: this is a hot summer / mixed climate, which means long hot summers, severe spring storms, and significant temperature swings between coast, hill country, and panhandle. A well-spec'd screen system for this region should anticipate high gust loads, particularly inland and along the Gulf and high UV exposure most of the year — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.The Solar selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for hot summer / mixed conditions — solution-dyed acrylics resist the high UV exposure most of the year typical of Texas better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given high gust loads, particularly inland and along the Gulf 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 Texas — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
