Motorized patio screens solve all of that -- but pricing varies depending on several key factors.

Average Cost of Motorized Patio Screens in Palm Beach County
Motorized patio screens are custom systems, meaning pricing depends on size, materials, and installation.
Real Example
A standard opening:
- 10 ft x 10 ft = 100 sq ft
👉🏽 Estimated cost: $2000 - $7,500 per opening
Key Insight
Motorized screens are priced BOTH:
-
Per square foot

What Actually Affects the Cost of Motorized Patio Screens
Size (Square Footage)
The biggest pricing factor. Larger openings require:
-
More fabric

Number of Openings
Each opening requires:
-
A motor

A housing system
-
Installation labor
👉🏽 More openings = higher total investment
Fabric Type (Phifer vs Twitchell)
Different materials impact both performance and price.
Phifer SunTex Options:

99% (maximum heat and privacy control)
