Rolling Screens Cost – Metro Phoenix

Most motorized patio screens in Metro Phoenix cost between $2,600 and $5,000 installed, with a typical single patio opening around $3,400 to $3,600. A screen with a hardwired motor starts around $2,600, a solar-powered one around $2,800, spans of 12 to 20 feet generally run $3,800 to $5,700, and oversize openings up to 24 feet start around $6,500. Every one of those figures is an installed price from our own Metro Phoenix crews, and your exact written number comes from a free on-site estimate.

The cost of retractable screens on this page is always an installed cost — nothing here is a materials-only number. Your retractable patio screens cost covers the free on-site measure, the custom-configured screen in your choice of six mesh and six frame colors, the motor, a handheld remote, installation by our own Metro Phoenix crews, motor programming, and a walkthrough of your controls. Warranty comes with it: 10 years on the fabric against fading, 5 years on the motor and parts, 2 years on electronics, and 1 year on installation labor. There is no separate delivery, programming, or trip charge on top.

Solar screens — retractable screens made with solar shade mesh rated to block up to 95% of heat and UV — are the Metro Phoenix standard, so they set the ranges on this page. A window-size or small patio opening starts around $2,600 installed, a typical patio opening runs $2,800 to $4,100, and wide spans of 12 to 20 feet run $3,800 to $5,700. One thing worth untangling: “solar screen” can mean the sun-blocking mesh or a solar-powered motor. We offer both, and they are priced separately — you can put solar mesh on a hardwired screen, or a solar motor behind an insect or privacy mesh.

Nothing extra — motorized screen installation is already inside every price on this page. Our own Metro Phoenix crews mount the housing above your opening, face-mounted to the wall, fascia, or beam or recessed into a soffit or pocket, anchor the side tracks down each side, set and program the motor, test the screen, and show you how to run it. A solar-powered screen needs no new wiring and no electrician, so no electrical trade gets added to your project; a hardwired motor needs power at the opening, and if it isn’t there already your specialist prices that during the estimate. Most Metro Phoenix projects are installed about three to four weeks after you order, sometimes longer in our busy season, and we confirm your exact date when the order is placed.

Motorized porch screens are priced per opening, exactly like patio screens, so your total depends on how many sides you are closing in. A single porch opening typically runs $2,800 to $4,100 installed, and because most Valley porches take two to four openings, a screened-in porch project usually lands somewhere between about $7,000 and $14,000. Doing all the openings in one visit is more efficient than screening them one at a time, so a multi-opening porch is measured, configured, and quoted as one project rather than a stack of separate jobs.

Yes — size is the single biggest driver. Each additional foot of width typically adds roughly $150 to $200 to the installed price and height adds a smaller amount, so a 10-foot by 8-foot opening and a 16-foot by 8-foot opening are two different projects. At 12 feet and wider, a screen steps up to a heavier-duty motor and a bigger installation, which is where the $3,800 to $5,700 range comes from, and openings of 21 to 24 feet are our oversize tier starting around $6,500. That is why two neighbors can get very different quotes for what looks like the same screen, and why we price from real measurements instead of a flat rate.

A solar-powered motor typically runs a couple hundred dollars more than a hardwired motor on the same screen, but the gap closes fast in Arizona: solar needs no new wiring and no electrician, so there is no electrical work added to your project, and the install itself is simpler. The Arizona sun keeps the battery charged year-round, and the screen keeps working when the power is out. For most Valley patios it is the best value per dollar, which is why it is our most popular configuration.

Yes. Financing is available on motorized screen projects, so you can spread the cost over time instead of paying everything upfront. Ask your specialist about current financing options during your free on-site estimate and they will walk you through what you qualify for before you commit to anything.

Yes, on-site estimates are free across our entire Metro Phoenix service area — Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, and Surprise — with no obligation and no travel charges within the Valley. A local specialist measures every opening, brings physical mesh and frame samples, helps you choose operation and controls, and puts your exact price in writing on the spot.

Motorized screens carry a 10-year warranty on the fabric against fading, 5 years on the motor, 5 years on extrusions and parts, 2 years on electronics, and 1 year on installation labor. Wind-related damage is excluded — which is why we recommend retracting screens in severe storms and offer wind sensors that do it automatically — along with damage from closing on objects, modification, or misuse. Warranty service is handled by our own local team, not a call center.
