Enjoy Your Patio Without the Heat, Bugs, or Glare
If you live in Palm Beach County, you already know...
The heat makes your patio unusable
The glare becomes overwhelming
Mosquitos take over your space
Motorized patio screens solve all of that -- but pricing varies depending on several key factors.
👉🏽 Let's break it down clearly so you know exactly what to expect.
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
Per opening
Larger openings require stronger systems -- not just more material.
The System Behind the Price (Quality Matters)
At Camacho Blinds, we install premium systems using:
Custom-built for each opening
Smooth operation and long-term durability
High-Performance Fabrics
We use industry-leading materials:
Phifer SunTex (UV-blocking solar fabric)

These materials are specifically designed for:
Florida heat
Humidity
Long-term outdoor use
What Actually Affects the Cost of Motorized Patio Screens
Size (Square Footage)
The biggest pricing factor. Larger openings require:
More fabric
Stronger motors
Reinforced systems
👉🏽 A 16ft opening is NOT just double the cost of an 8 ft opening. It can be significantly more due to engineering demands.
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:
80% openness (more visibility)
90-97% (balanced)
99% (maximum heat and privacy control)
Twitchell Textilene & Nano product options:
Strong insect protection
Highly durable
Ideal for heavy-use outdoor areas
👉🏽 Important:
Higher UV protection = higher cost
Better durability = higher long-term value
Electrical Work & Wiring Complexity
This is a major cost variable and a major differentiator.

Basic wiring
Camacho Blinds Approach:
Wiring through attic (when possible)
