Worth knowing for Florida: this is a hot-humid coastal climate, which means subtropical humidity, frequent afternoon storms, and a long cooling season. A well-spec'd screen system for this region should anticipate hurricane and tropical-storm wind loads and extreme year-round UV exposure — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.The Insect selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for hot-humid coastal conditions — solution-dyed acrylics resist the extreme year-round UV exposure typical of Florida better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given hurricane and tropical-storm wind loads in this region — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the fall of 2022 is typical for Florida — most screen system installations book in the shoulder months, when installer availability is better and material lead times shorten to 3–6 weeks.
