How much do commercial patio enclosures cost?
In our 2026 quotes, manual roll-down patio enclosures ran from $2,000 to $60,000, with a typical job near $21,000. Motorized enclosures ran from $11,000 to $108,000, with a typical job near $47,000. These are quoted project totals, installed by our crew.
"Typical" here means the middle quote, based on 97 quotes written in 2026. Jobs that mix manual and motorized came in near $58,000. New projects start at $10,000 installed; the $2,000 low end is a single replacement panel for an existing customer.
| System | Lowest 2026 quote | Typical (middle) quote | Highest 2026 quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual roll-down | $2,000 (one panel) | about $21,000 | $60,000 |
| Motorized | $11,000 (two units) | about $47,000 | $108,000 (16 units) |
| Mixed manual and motorized | n/a | about $58,000 | n/a |
What you are paying for
Manual systems are priced by the square foot of opening. Measure the opening, not the fabric. A hand-rolled or rope-and-pulley panel covers it, and panels zip together for wider runs.
Motorized systems are priced by the unit. Each unit is one motorized curtain, sized by its width and height. Add units for more openings.
Both are built to the opening our designer measures on site, so the final price is a fixed number, not a range.
What moves the price
- The number and size of your openings
- Motorized or manual
- Doors
- Posts and headers, if the patio has nothing to hang from
- Lift rental, if the patio is tall
- Distance from Texas, for the design visit and the install crew
- A rush schedule
Distance matters less than people expect when your job can be paired with other jobs in your region. A shared trip costs less to reach.

Doors, posts, lift and travel
These show up as separate lines on a quote, so you can see where the money goes.
- Doors. A zipper door is available on manual or motorized systems. A framed metal door with a closer is the other choice. On manual systems, framed metal doors add two weeks to the lead time.
- Posts and headers. If there is no structure to hang the enclosure from, we supply powder-coated aluminum posts and headers.
- Lift. A tall patio needs a man-lift rental for installation.
- Travel. Our crews are based in Texas. Travel covers the design visit and the install crew, and it is lower when your job is paired with others nearby.
- Options. MaxView clear windows and remotes are priced as options.
The $500 design consultation
Every quote carries a $500 design consultation line. After the deposit, our designer measures every opening on site and confirms the layout, the doors and the colors before anything is built. It is part of the project price, not an extra bill.
Deposit and financing
We ask for 50% down to start the order. The balance is due after install.
Most customers finance. We work with LEAF Commercial Capital, an equipment lease with a fixed monthly payment and electronic signatures. We are not a lender, so LEAF handles terms and qualification. Ask for a financing option alongside your quote. See financing for how it works.
Questions
How much does a commercial patio enclosure cost?
In our 2026 quotes, manual roll-down jobs ran $2,000 to $60,000 with a typical job near $21,000. Motorized jobs ran $11,000 to $108,000 with a typical job near $47,000. The number of openings, doors and travel are the biggest reasons two jobs differ.
Why is motorized more expensive than manual?
Motorized is priced by the unit and includes the powered system, while manual is priced by the square foot of opening and rolls by hand or rope. The price covers the motor, the hood and the side tracks, and a motorized unit can span wider and taller openings than a manual panel.
Is there a minimum project size?
Yes. Our minimum is $10,000 installed. We are flexible on that for true multi-site rollouts.
Do you charge for travel?
Yes, as a line on the quote. We travel from Texas for the design visit and the install. When your job can be paired with another in your region, the travel cost drops.
How do the deposit and payments work?
You put down 50% to start the order, and the balance is due after install. Most customers finance the project through LEAF Commercial Capital with a fixed monthly payment.
What does the $500 design consultation get me?
Our designer comes to your patio after the deposit, measures every opening and confirms the layout, doors and colors, so what gets built fits the patio exactly. It is a line on every quote, not an extra bill.
