For construction professionals, accurately estimating the cost of retractable screen doors is crucial. Prices can range from $425 to $750 for single-door installations and $850 to $1,450 for double-door setups. Oversize panoramic units may cost between $2,100 and $3,300. These figures are based on current market data and can vary depending on several factors.
• Single-panel doors are generally less expensive than double-panel or French-door configurations.
• Larger doors require more robust materials, increasing costs.
• Custom heights for tall ceilings add to fabrication time and material use.
• Powder-coated aluminum is standard for its durability.
• Premium finishes can increase costs by 15-25%.
• Specialty meshes, like pet-proof or solar-blocking, can double the screen allowance.
• New-construction openings are easier to install than retrofits.
• Out-of-square jambs require additional labor.
• Masonry or stucco may need special anchors.
• Labor rates vary by region and project complexity.
• Multi-door projects can offer economies of scale.
• Features like soft-close dampers and motorized retraction add to costs.
