Specifications include Black frame, Vinyl / Solar fabric, Nano 95 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (5 units) is larger than the typical 2.5-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $4,033, below the $4,841 national per-unit average.
For context, Florida homeowners installing a screen system are working with subtropical humidity, frequent afternoon storms, and a long cooling season. That shapes what specs actually matter: wind rating (hurricane and tropical-storm wind loads), UV-stable fabrics (extreme year-round UV exposure), and corrosion-resistant hardware where salt-air or humidity is present.The Vinyl selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for hot-humid coastal conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle Florida's sun (extreme year-round UV exposure) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given the wind exposure here (hurricane and tropical-storm wind loads) — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the summer of 2025 is typical for Florida — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
