This is a real motorized screen project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated February 6, 2023. Total project cost: $9,393.
Sagaponack homeowners planning a motorized screen installation in the winter of 2023 can use this $9,393 estimate as a real-world reference. The scope: 3 units (~8×8 ft, ~15×8 ft), White frame, Solar fabric.
Pricing context: 52% of the 5,382 comparable motorized screen projects in our database cost less than $9,393, putting this estimate in "average" territory. Versus the $12,110 national average, it's 22% below the norm. Within NY specifically, the average across 151 comparable projects is $11,194 — making this estimate 16% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $33.98 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include White frame, Solar fabric, -1 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (3 units) is larger than the typical 2.5-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $3,131, below the $4,844 national per-unit average.
New York's climate — humid summers, snowy winters upstate, and salt-air corrosion concerns on Long Island and the coast — drives different screen system priorities than the national average. The local UV (moderate) pushes fabric selection toward solution-dyed acrylic or PVDF-coated mesh, and the wind exposure (moderate inland, higher coastal) pushes hardware specs toward heavier-gauge cassettes and motorized retraction.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 winter of 2023 is typical for New York — most screen system installations book in the shoulder months, when installer availability is better and material lead times shorten to 3–6 weeks.
At $9,393, this motorized screen project is 22% below the national average of $12,110 based on 5,382 comparable projects in our database.
