A house is the install Starlink was designed around, and it is still the one most people get wrong, because the kit is easy and the house is not. The dish itself takes ten minutes. What takes judgment is the roof it goes on, the sky it has to see, the path the cable takes into the building, and where the router ends up once it is inside. Those four decisions are the whole job, they are different on every house, and they are the reason a mount that has held for ten years on one street is leaking on the next. Starlink was built for exactly this: a house that wants fast, reliable internet without waiting on a cable company or a fiber build that may never reach the street.
If you are on a slow DSL line, a fixed-wireless plan that crawls every evening, or an older satellite service with data caps and lag, the upgrade is not subtle, and the quickest way to see it is to run a speed test at your address on speedtest.net today, then run it again on the day we leave. The homes we install every week are the lot the fiber build stopped short of, the acreage where the cable quote came back with a comma in it, the home office that cannot afford a single outage, and the kit already sitting in the hallway that deserves a professional Starlink installation rather than a Saturday guess. Order the kit, and book the free virtual survey while it ships.
What a Home Install Actually Includes
Every home job runs in the same order, whatever the house looks like. First comes the survey. The virtual one costs nothing: you send photos, we pull the satellite view, and we read the sky over your roof from the desk. If you would rather a technician stood on the property before anything is booked, the on-site survey is $199. Either way, mount and position are settled before a date goes on the calendar.
On the day, the mount goes into structure rather than sheathing, every penetration is sealed, and the cable is run the way the standard says: clipped every foot to a foot and a half on the wall so there is no sag anywhere in the run, and held with roofing tape rather than fasteners where it has to cross roof. The entry is drilled from the inside out, low on the wall, with a drip loop below it and a sealed grommet at the hole. Inside, the cable finishes at a white brush wall plate rather than a bare hole, the router goes where the house needs it rather than where the hole happened to land, and mesh nodes go in if the floor plan calls for them. Then the dish is aimed, a live speed test is run before the technician leaves, and every fixing is photographed for the record.
We are an independent Starlink installer, not a reseller. The kit comes from Starlink, the account is yours, and nothing on your monthly bill goes to us. The only thing on our invoice is the work of putting it up properly.
Four Mounts, and the Roof Decides Which One
Our install standard documents four ways to mount a dish on a house, and the roof covering picks between them before anything else does.
Pivot roof mount. The pivot mount is the default on composition shingle over a sound deck. It sits high on the roof plane just below the ridge, or straddles the ridge cap, so the panel clears everything on the roof. The base is a plate with two splayed feet and a circular pivot disc between them, and that disc is what brings the mast to true vertical on any pitch. The feet are lag-fixed into rafters, not sheathing, and roof sealant goes in and around every pilot hole, around the full base edge, and over every exposed bolt head.
Standard wall mount. A flat angled blade bolted to the fascia board at the gable peak, or to the wall where there is no board to use, with exactly two bolts, one high and one low. The mast is completely vertical with no pitch in any direction, and the dish has to sit comfortably above the roof, because if it does not, the wall and the roof become the obstruction and the speed test shows it. This is the mount for tile, slate and metal roofs, because nothing goes into the covering.
Under-eave mount. For a house with no fascia board, gutters in the way, or an eave too wide for a blade. A horizontal arm bolts to the wall below the soffit, reaches out past the gutter, and carries a vertical mast at its outer end so the dish clears the roof line. The failure mode is a dish that ends up below the roofline, which costs roughly half the signal, and we set the arm to avoid it.
Non-penetrating ballasted mount. For a flat or low-slope roof, and for any house where nothing may be attached at all: a rental, a condo, an HOA that says no, or historic fabric under review. A two-tray mount is weighed down with pavers, cinder-block caps or bricks, the weights are tie-wired where wind is a concern or the roof is steep, and construction adhesive goes under the base where it needs to. The dish stays low on a short stalk, never up a pole, and the roof run is held with roofing tape rather than anything driven into the roof.
One rule sits above all four: we never drill into a metal roof. A standing-seam panel is a single continuous water plane and the fixings that hold it are engineered, so on metal the dish goes on a wall, under an eave, or on ballast, and the panels stay exactly as the roofer left them. Tile and slate get the same respect, since a tile mount is not among our documented methods and a slate roof is not something we put a hole in. Our guide on what we check before anything goes on a roof covers what we look at on the roof side.
The Dish Looks North, and the Survey Reads Your Sky
In the continental United States the dish looks north, and the one thing the survey has to solve at any address is what stands in the northern sky: trees in full leaf, the neighbor’s second story, a ridge behind the house. A survey done in January has to be read for August, because a bare maple and a maple in leaf are two different obstructions.
If the northern sky over the front of the house is gone, the answer is usually to move, not to climb. The back roof plane often still has it, and so does the garage or a shed at the far end of the lot; from there a point-to-point wireless bridge carries the connection into the house. Height is the last resort, and a short one: the mast we fit is the shortest that gets the panel past the obstruction, because every added foot multiplies the wind load on the fixing, and our standard does not allow a dish on a tall pole at all.
The free virtual survey settles all of this over your actual roof rather than your block, which is why we ask for it before we quote a date.
Where the Cable Goes In, and Why It Goes In Low
The entry hole is the part of a home install that decides whether the house is dry in five years, and the standard is specific about it. The hole is drilled from the inside out so the technician controls exactly where it lands, within four feet of an outlet and two to three inches below the outlet’s center, which keeps the entry low on the wall and finishes the run right at the power the router needs. Below the entry the cable makes a full drip loop, so water runs off the low point of the loop and never reaches the hole, and the cable rises into a flush, sealed grommet.
On a house with a basement or crawlspace the entry is usually through the rim joist just above the foundation, with the run finishing in the basement ceiling wherever the router actually belongs. On a slab house we pick the entry with you at the survey. Either way the outside is sealed, the inside is finished with a wall plate, and the router is placed for the floor plan rather than for the installer’s convenience. If the house is large, has thick walls or spreads over more than one building, mesh nodes or a wired run through the Starlink Ethernet Adapter guide are part of the same visit.
Standard, Mini or Performance: Which Kit Belongs on a House
For nearly every house the answer is the Standard kit. It is the hardware Starlink built the residential plan around, it draws an average of 75 to 100 watts, and it is what every mount in our standard is sized for. The Starlink Mini, at 25 to 40 watts, earns its place on a small cabin, a guest house, a workshop at the back of the lot, or anywhere you want to be able to take the dish with you; it is not the better choice for a family home with several people streaming at once. The Performance kit exists for business sites and heavy-demand properties and is rarely the right answer for a house.
You buy the kit directly from Starlink and choose your own plan; our page on residential plans and what they cost per month is kept current if you want the numbers before you order. What we bring is everything the install itself needs: the mount, the mast, the clips, the sealant, the wall plate and the tools, so nothing on your job waits for a parts run.
What This Costs
A residential install starts at $385. For that you get the mount fixed into the framing and sealed, the cable run and the entry finished the way the sections above describe, the router placed where the floor plan wants it, aiming, and a speed test run in front of you before the truck leaves. The price climbs only when the house asks for more: a roof that forces a wall or ballasted mount, a mast that has to be taller to see over something, a long or awkward run, a barn or shop that needs a wireless bridge, or mesh nodes to fill a large floor plan. The virtual survey is free; the $199 on-site survey is optional, and on a difficult roof it usually saves more than it costs.
Most jobs are on the calendar within about 72 hours of confirmation, and a clean survey plus a kit that is already in the house often means we can come the same day. The full price breakdown for every kind of install lives on our Starlink installation cost page.
Where We Come to You
We come to the house in all 50 states, from the city lots where the job is a neighbor’s second story to the acreage where the job is the last mile of a gravel road. The full list is on the locations we serve page, along with the state pages and the city posts that go into the roofs, trees and rules of specific places.
If the install is not a house, the same standard applies with different hardware: RV Starlink installation, Starlink installation for yachts and boats, Starlink installation for cars and trucks and Starlink installation for mobile fleets each have their own page, and a point-to-point wireless bridge is how we put a barn, a shop or a guest house onto a connection that lives in the main building.
What We Do Not Do
- We do not manage your Starlink account: no service plans, no changes to your account. The kit and the account are yours.
- We do not drill into a metal roof, and we do not put a fixing through tile or slate; those roofs get a wall, under-eave or ballasted mount.
- We do not put a roof mount on a roof that is visibly at the end of its life. Where a re-roof is coming we will tell you, and we can usually put the dish on a wall or under an eave instead, so you are online now and nothing has to be redone when the roofer comes.
- We do not do structural work on the house, and we do not run cable inside walls you would rather we did not open.
Residential Starlink Installation: Frequently Asked Questions
Two to three hours on site for a typical house. Getting onto the calendar usually takes about 72 hours from confirmation, and when the kit is already in the house and the survey is clean we can often come the same day. The jobs that run longer are the ones with a roof covering we have to confirm before choosing a mount, a long cable run to reach the room the router belongs in, or a second building being brought onto the connection.
Only on composition shingle, where the pivot roof mount goes into the rafters with every pilot hole, the full base edge and every bolt head sealed. On a metal roof we never drill; the dish goes on a wall, under an eave or on ballast. Tile and slate are treated the same way, with a wall mount taking the load. On a flat roof, a rental or a house where nothing may be attached, a ballasted non-penetrating mount puts nothing through anything.
Residential installations start at $385. The mount fixed into structure, the sealing, the cable run clipped on the wall and taped on the roof, a low sealed entry with a drip loop and a wall plate inside, the router placed where the house needs it, aiming, and a live speed test before we leave. The price moves for a taller mast, a long or awkward run, a second building on a wireless bridge, or mesh nodes to cover the floor plan, and the survey tells you which of those apply before you book.
Yes. The non-penetrating ballasted mount is built for exactly that case: it holds itself down with pavers or bricks, sits on the roof rather than through it, and comes off without a trace. On a pitched roof the alternative is a wall or under-eave mount on a rear or side elevation, out of sight of the street. We will hand you the mount specification and its position in writing so the question you take to a landlord or a board is a specific one.
Yes, book the virtual survey now. It is free, it reads the sky over your actual roof, and it settles the mount and the position before the box lands. Once the kit is at the house the install can usually be scheduled within 72 hours, and same day is often possible if the survey is already done.
Where the house needs it, not where the hole happened to be drilled. The entry is placed within four feet of an outlet and low on the wall, the run finishes at a wall plate, and the router goes on the level and in the room that covers the most of the house. If one router cannot cover the floor plan, mesh nodes or a wired run through the Starlink Ethernet Adapter are part of the same visit.
Yes. We install in all 50 states, and the locations we serve page lists every state page and city post. Typical scheduling is around 72 hours from a confirmed job anywhere in the country, and the price is the same whether the house is in a city or at the end of a county road.
