This is a real motorized screen & screen extrusion project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated October 6, 2025. Total project cost: $5,280.
Looking at what a motorized screen actually costs in Elbert, Colorado? This professional estimate from October 2025 totaled $5,280 for 2 units, with the largest measuring ~6×11 ft.
At $5,280, this project sits in the 24th percentile of the 5,188 motorized screen estimates we've analyzed — a "below average" market position. The national average for comparable work is $12,152, putting this estimate 57% below the typical motorized screen cost. Within Colorado specifically, the average across 353 comparable projects is $10,129 — making this estimate 48% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $91.82 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include Ivory frame, Solar fabric, Nano 97 mesh, Motor control. Project scope (1 units) is smaller than the typical 2.6-unit motorized screen project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $5,280, higher than the $4,674 national per-unit average.
Worth knowing for Colorado: this is a high-altitude continental climate, which means intense UV, large diurnal temperature swings, and chinook wind events. A well-spec'd screen system for this region should anticipate high, particularly along the Front Range and very high at altitude — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.The Solar selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for high-altitude continental conditions — solution-dyed acrylics resist the very high at altitude typical of Colorado better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given high, particularly along the Front Range in this region — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the fall of 2025 is typical for Colorado — most screen system installations book in the shoulder months, when installer availability is better and material lead times shorten to 3–6 weeks.
At $5,280, this motorized screen project is 57% below the national average of $12,152 based on 5,188 comparable projects in our database. It ranks in the 24th percentile, meaning 24% of similar projects cost less. In Colorado, where we have data from 353 projects, this is 48% below the state average of $10,129. The effective cost is approximately $91.82 per square foot of coverage. This project includes 1 motorized screen, fewer than the average of 2.6 per project.
