This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated January 19, 2024. Total project cost: $13,000.
Real January 2024 motorized screen estimate from a verified contractor serving Greenwich, CT. Total cost came to $13,000 across 4 units (~10×9 ft, ~4×9 ft).
At $13,000, this project sits in the 70th percentile of the 5,406 motorized screen estimates we've analyzed — a "above average" market position. The national average for comparable work is $12,101, putting this estimate 7% above the typical motorized screen cost. Within CT specifically, the average across 128 comparable projects is $12,481 — making this estimate right at the local norm. That works out to roughly $56.65 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include White frame, Solar fabric, Suntex 95 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (4 units) is larger than the typical 2.5-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $3,250, below the $4,841 national per-unit average.
Worth knowing for Connecticut: this is a coastal New England climate, which means humid summers, coastal salt exposure, and frequent thunderstorm activity. A well-spec'd screen system for this region should account for the local wind exposure (moderate, higher along the shoreline) and UV load (moderate) — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.The Solar selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for coastal New England conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle Connecticut's sun (moderate) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given the wind exposure here (moderate, higher along the shoreline) — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the winter of 2024 is typical for Connecticut — most screen system installations book in the shoulder months, when installer availability is better and material lead times shorten to 3–6 weeks.
At $13,000, this motorized screen project is 7% above the national average of $12,101 based on 5,406 comparable projects in our database.
