This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated August 17, 2024. Total project cost: $5,008.
Sagaponack homeowners planning a motorized screen installation in the summer of 2024 can use this $5,008 estimate as a real-world reference. The scope: 1 unit (~17×10 ft), Solar fabric.
Pricing context: 22% of the 5,385 comparable motorized screen projects in our database cost less than $5,008, putting this estimate in "below average" territory. Versus the $12,108 national average, it's 59% below the norm. Within NY specifically, the average across 151 comparable projects is $11,194 — making this estimate 55% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $27.85 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include Solar fabric, Suntex 95 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (1 unit) is smaller than the typical 2.5-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $5,008, higher than the $4,843 national per-unit average.
For context, New York homeowners installing a screen system are working with humid summers, snowy winters upstate, and salt-air corrosion concerns on Long Island and the coast. That shapes what specs actually matter: wind rating (moderate inland, higher coastal), UV-stable fabrics (moderate), and corrosion-resistant hardware where salt-air or humidity is present.The Solar selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for humid continental conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle New York's sun (moderate) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given the wind exposure here (moderate inland, higher coastal) — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the summer of 2024 is typical for New York — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
At $5,008, this motorized screen project is 59% below the national average of $12,108 based on 5,385 comparable projects in our database.
