motorized Screen Pricing guide
Motorized screen pricing in depends on three things: the size of your opening, the type of screen fabric you need, and the level of protection you are after. Every system we install is fully motorized, custom-sized, and built for Lowcountry conditions.
What Affects Your Price
No two installations are identical, and pricing reflects that. The main variables that affect the final investment on a motorized screen project are: Opening size is the most straightforward factor. A single standard porch opening costs less than a full wraparound lanai with multiple drops. We custom-size every screen to fit your exact opening, so there are no awkward gaps or off-the-shelf compromises.
Screen fabric type changes both the price and the function. An insect screen sits at a different price point than a solar screen engineered to block UV and cut heat gain, which in turn sits below a heavy-duty screen rated for wind and driving rain. Choosing the right fabric for your actual use case matters more than most buyers realize going in.
Motorization and controls add value and cost. Standard remote operation is included in every system we install. Integrated smart home controls, wind sensors, and multi-screen automation add to the investment but significantly improve the day-to-day experience.
Number of drops on a single project affects overall cost but typically improves per-unit value. Multi-opening projects almost always offer better pricing than a single standalone installation.
Our Three Motorized Screen Systems
The pricing infographic above gives you a clear visual comparison of our three tiers. Here is a plain-language breakdown of what each one is designed for.
The Bug Protection system is the entry point for homeowners whose primary goal is keeping insects out of the porch or lanai. This is the most common starting point for Charleston homeowners who have never had a screened outdoor space before. It delivers immediate, meaningful improvement to how much you actually use your outdoor area.
The Solar and Wind Protection system is the choice for homeowners dealing with afternoon glare, heat buildup, or wind exposure in addition to insects. The solar screen fabric in this tier cuts UV penetration and lowers the temperature under the screen noticeably, which extends the usable hours of your outdoor space deep into summer afternoons that would otherwise be unbearable.
The Maximum Protection system is built for full exposure situations: waterfront properties, elevated decks, porches that face prevailing wind, or homeowners who want a space that functions in virtually any weather condition. This tier includes heavier screen fabric engineered for wind and driving rain, making it the right call for anyone in a coastal location who takes storm season seriously.
