This is a real outdoor living project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated September 2, 2025. Total project cost: $16,291.
This $16,291 motorized screen project was estimated in September 2025 for a homeowner in Kenilworth, IL, covering 353 units.
Worth knowing for Illinois: this is a continental climate, which means humid summers, cold winters, and frequent severe-storm activity across the central plains. A well-spec'd outdoor shade for this region should account for the local wind exposure (high, with derecho events on record) and UV load (moderate) — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation. Estimating in the fall of 2025 is typical for Illinois — most outdoor shade installations book in the shoulder months, when installer availability is better and material lead times shorten to 3–6 weeks.
