College Station is a renter’s town. The 2020-2024 American Community Survey counts 46,214 occupied homes here, and 29,846 of them, about 65 percent, are rented. Another 16,202 of the city’s 51,494 housing units are in buildings of five or more units. Texas A&M, one of the largest universities in the country, shapes much of that rental market. Most of the housing is young, with 42,160 units dating to 1980 or later. Before picking a mount, we ask who controls the spot for the dish: a tenant, an owner or an association.
Starlink internet reaches a College Station address from orbit, so it never touches the cable or fiber under the street. Plenty of customers use it as their only internet, and plenty more run it next to a provider they already have. The visit is not over until the dish is up, the entry is sealed against rain with a drip loop, a well-placed router is serving your rooms and you have seen the speed test yourself.
The free virtual survey starts with photos of the building plus a satellite view of the lot, and we read your sky before you commit. A technician can also walk the property for a $199 on-site survey. By the time you choose a date, the mount, the cable path and the router location are already decided.
Starlink for Student Rentals, Duplexes and Apartments: A Written Plan for the Landlord
Start with what belongs to your lease alone. The FCC’s over-the-air reception rule bars HOA rules, covenants and lease clauses from unreasonably delaying, blocking or inflating the cost of a satellite dish up to one meter across, wherever the space is yours to use or control, and the Starlink panel is well under that. A roof or a shared wall is the owner’s call, so we write the request: a plan naming the mount, its place on the building and the cable’s path inside, which settles most of a landlord’s questions before anyone asks.
On an apartment or duplex with a flat or low-slope roof, that plan is usually our ballasted two-tray mount. The trays hold pavers or bricks, tie-wired when the wind calls for it, so the dish rests on the roof rather than in it. Because the free virtual survey fixes the mount and its spot ahead of any appointment, the landlord can read the plan before anyone books.
Subdivision Homes and Shingle Roofs: Matching the Mount to the House
Newer construction sets the local pattern. The same Census survey counts 24,700 of College Station’s 51,494 housing units as built in 2000 or later, and 21,850 as detached houses. Composition shingle over a sound deck takes our pivot mount, a base with a round disc that levels the mast to vertical whatever the roof pitch. Near the ridge, the mount lifts the dish above everything else on the roof, and sealant covers the pilot holes, the edge of the base and the bolt heads.
Other roofs call for other answers. Houses with metal or tile roofs are served another way: a wall bracket, an under-eave arm or a ballasted base, with the covering left as the roofer made it. A roof near the end of its life, or one due for replacement, takes a wall or under-eave mount too, which gets you online now and spares you a redo once the roofer has come and gone.
Northgate, Texas Avenue and Business Parks: Shops and Offices That Stay Open
Northgate, the mixed-use district north of campus, mixes businesses, restaurants, apartments, churches and entertainment across about 145 acres, and Texas Avenue (State Highway 6 Business) is one of the city’s major roads. Our commercial work covers offices, retail stores, warehouses and farms, and we schedule around your operating hours so the doors stay open. Every site gets the same install standard, and a business with locations in other towns deals with a single point of contact.
A shop that cannot lose its card reader for an afternoon can add Starlink as a second path. The Starlink failover with SD-WAN guide explains the arrangement: the dish plugs into a second WAN port, and the router takes over from a failed main line without anyone touching it. We can also tie Starlink into fiber and SD-WAN, and put the frame on a flat roof with no penetrations. The cable run to a loading dock or back office is planned before the visit rather than improvised during it.
Pickups and Service Vans on State Highway 6 and University Drive
Work traffic here runs on State Highway 6, University Drive and Texas Avenue. A pickup bed offers rails and a headache rack, and mounting there leaves the cab roof’s paint and lines alone. For a van, the mount we choose is low in profile, fastened into the roof’s structure and set apart from any rack or vent. The cable enters through a sealed grommet, never past a door seal. Owners who want zero holes can have the dish clamped to a roof rack or bed rail already on the vehicle.
For most personal vehicles we start with the Starlink Mini, which Starlink supports for in-motion use on Roam when paired with a plan rated for it. Three or more vehicles bring $650 each, and fleets of twelve or more earn a further discount, which suits a contractor or lawn-care business with a row of trucks. Box trucks are different: the front of the roof gives the shortest, tidiest cable route and a view of open sky. The tenth truck gets the same mount and cable route as the first.
Texas Heat, Heavy Rain and a Dish Built for Both
Summer is the season that tests equipment here. NOAA’s 1991-2020 normals for the College Station station record 116.7 days a year at or above 90°F and 17.5 days at or above 100°F, while Starlink’s spec sheet for the Standard dish lists an operating range from -22°F to 122°F. That leaves wide margin above a typical afternoon.
Rain is the other half. Annual rainfall averages 41.75 inches at that station, and 12.5 of those days bring an inch or more. Water is why every cable entry gets a sealed grommet and a drip loop, so rain follows the wire down and drips off instead of running inside, and why a brush plate finishes the opening indoors. Starlink puts the Standard dish’s view at a 110-degree cone of sky, and in Texas that cone is aimed north, so open sky on that side of the building matters more than weather.
Lake Bryan and Boats Around the Brazos Valley
Lake Bryan, a power-plant cooling pond about five miles northwest of Bryan, is a popular recreational destination, and Texas A&M’s rowing and sailing teams practice there. Wherever the boat sits, at a slip, in dry storage or on a private dock, we come to it and attach the mount to structure it already has: a pontoon’s bimini frame, a sailboat’s arch or a rail. We never cut into the hull or deck core.
Sky is the question on the water. A tower, arch or bimini top can throw a shadow over the dish once the boat moves and the sun angle changes, so we place the antenna clear of those. Where the hardware specifies an angle, such as the Flat High Performance kit’s 8-degree rain tilt, we follow it. A boat installation is $750 and up.
RV Roof Installs Before a Game-Day Weekend
When a coach rolls into town for a game at Kyle Field, which seats 102,733, the owner wants the internet working before kickoff. We travel to you and your rig, mount the dish and align it. A Mini has Wi-Fi built in, but a roof-top dish sits outside the cabin, so we run the cable to a router mounted inside the rig, which keeps Wi-Fi strong through the cabin. The Performance Gen 3 needs a router in any case. An RV install starts at $650.
What a College Station Starlink Installation Costs
A home install here starts at $385. Where the survey finds a need for a taller mast, mesh nodes, a tricky cable path or a wireless link to a workshop out back, the added cost is written down before you book. Prices for vehicles, boats and businesses are on the current install prices by job page.

What Tenants, Owners and Shops Ask a College Station Starlink Installer
Yes. Our ballasted mount sits on a flat roof without drilling, and we hand the landlord a written plan to approve. The FCC rule also protects a dish on space that your lease gives you to control.
Yes. Under the FCC’s over-the-air reception rule, an association cannot unreasonably delay, block or add cost to a dish up to one meter across on property you own or control. A back-wall bracket also keeps it out of sight.
The pivot mount. Its two feet are lagged into rafters high on the roof, a round disc levels the mast on any slope, and every hole gets sealant. On the back wall, a wall or under-eave bracket works without touching the roof.
Yes. Starlink’s spec sheet for the Standard dish lists operation from -22°F to 122°F, and College Station averages 17.5 days a year at or above 100°F, so even the hottest afternoons stay inside that range.
Yes. The dish plugs into the router’s second WAN port, and the router switches over by itself whenever the main line fails. A ballasted frame keeps the roof covering whole.
Yes. For most personal vehicles the Mini is where we start, and Starlink supports it in motion on Roam. We usually place it on the bed rail or headache rack and leave the cab roof alone.
Yes. Three or more trucks bring the price to $650 each, with a further discount from twelve. Every truck receives the same mount and cable route, so a whole row of vehicles finishes with matching results.
Yes. We come to the slip, dry-storage yard or private dock and bolt to the bimini frame, arch or rail already aboard, placing the antenna clear of shadows, without cutting into the hull or deck core.
Yes. A roof mount puts metal between the dish and the cabin, so we run the cable to a router inside the rig, which gives a stronger signal than the Mini’s own Wi-Fi alone.
A home starts at $385 and a boat at $750. Trucks, vans and RVs begin at $650, less per vehicle at three or more. One business site is $750, and each site drops to $650 when you book three or more.
Yes. Our Starlink installers regularly work in Bryan, Wixon Valley, Kurten, Normangee, Iola, Madisonville, Bedias, Anderson, Navasota, Plantersville, Hempstead, Brenham, Burton, Somerville, Snook, Caldwell, Milano, Hearne and Franklin.
Yes. Starlink’s order page checks availability and plan prices for your address. Place the order, and when the kit comes, we take care of the mounting, the cable route and the speed test.
