Investing in motorized screens and retractable awnings is one of the highest-ROI improvements for Northern Virginia homes. This guide breaks down what things cost, what affects the price, and how to budget for your project. All prices include professional measurement, custom manufacturing, and installation.
Motorized screens range from $875 for the budget-friendly Open Roller 2.0 to $3,967 and up for hurricane-rated storm protection. The table below shows starting prices and typical ranges for each screen type.
| Screen Type | Starting Price | Typical Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|

Retractable awnings provide adjustable shade for decks, patios, and outdoor dining areas. Pricing depends on the awning type, projection, and fabric selection. Here is what to expect.
| Awning Type | Starting Price | Typical Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Awning Recover | $859 | $859 – $1,800 | Fabric replacement on existing frame |
| Retractable Awning | $4,091 | $4,091 – $7,000 | Standard deck & patio shade |
| Crossarm Awning | $4,624 | $4,624 – $8,000 | Large areas, extended projection |
The Awning Recover service is our most affordable awning option — new fabric on your existing frame at a fraction of full replacement cost. If your awning frame is in good condition, a recover can save you thousands compared to a full replacement.
Every project is custom, so the final price depends on several factors. Here are the six main variables that determine what you will pay.
Larger openings need more material and heavier motors. Width and drop height are the primary size factors for screens; width and projection drive awning pricing.
Hurricane-rated screens and crossarm awnings use heavier construction, certified materials, and reinforced hardware, which costs more than standard models.
Solar shade mesh and clear vinyl cost more than standard insect mesh. Awning fabrics range from basic solids to premium solution-dyed acrylics with longer fade resistance.
Smart home integration, wind sensors, and app control are available upgrades. Standard operation includes a handheld remote and optional wall switch.
Wind sensors, LED lighting strips, decorative valances, and additional remote controls are optional upgrades that add to the base price.
Height, accessibility, structural mounting requirements, and electrical routing can affect installation effort. Most standard installations are straightforward, but unusual conditions may require additional labor.
Yes. Outdoor living improvements typically return 60 to 80 percent of their investment at resale. In Northern Virginia's competitive housing market, professionally installed screens and awnings are a differentiator that helps homes stand out.
Motorized screens and awnings effectively add usable square footage to your home by making outdoor areas comfortable year-round.
Wind protection and sun control extend your outdoor season by weeks in both spring and fall, getting more value from your existing porch or patio.
Retractable awnings reduce solar heat gain on windows and doors, lowering cooling costs during the summer months.
