Brandon sits on the east side of the Jackson metro, the Rankin County seat, in a county that grew about sixteen percent through the 2010s and is still adding people. That growth shows up as new subdivisions pushing out from the county seat in every direction, while the ten-acre square around Government Street, added to the National Register in 2010, is still the oldest part of town. Both kinds of roof are common work for us, and so is the Ross Barnett Reservoir shoreline a few miles north, where a lake place is a different install than a house in town.

Check your own street number on speedtest.net before you decide anything. Close to the square and in the newer subdivisions, a wired option is common. What brings people to us is the reservoir places, the county roads east toward Scott County and south toward Simpson County where rural internet options run out and satellite internet is the fix, and a second connection that stays up when a spring storm takes the first one down.

Dixie Alley Sets the Mount Discipline Here, Not the Roof Style

Every city this project covers has one environmental variable that actually decides the install. In Denton it is a belt of post oak. In Sacramento it is heat. In Rankin County it is severe weather, and specifically the kind this part of the country gets.

Central Mississippi sits inside what meteorologists call Dixie Alley, and Rankin County is named specifically as part of that risk band along with Hinds, Madison, Yazoo and Warren counties. The storms here have a different character than the classic Great Plains tornado: they arrive more often at night, wrapped in rain rather than visible on the horizon, over a longer track. That changes what matters about a mount. A dish that looks impressive on a tall pole is not the goal. A dish that is bolted down correctly, low, and sealed at every penetration is.

Starlink’s own hardware is rated for sustained operational wind well past anything a still afternoon in Brandon will ever produce, but a rating on a spec sheet assumes the mount itself is done right. That means every bolt torqued and sealed rather than just snugged, a base plate that sits flush rather than bridging a gap in the decking, and a cable run that is clipped tight the entire way down instead of left to flap. A loose cable is the first thing a gust finds, and it is also the easiest thing to get right the first time. We check both on every job, storm season or not.

The pine timber common on the rural side of the county plays into this too. Loblolly pine grows fast in this part of Mississippi and a stand that was a wind screen five years ago can be tall enough to sit inside the dish’s view today. The dish looks north, so we survey what is actually on the north side of the roof rather than assuming the biggest trees on the property are the ones that matter.

Old Town Brandon and the New Subdivisions Are Not the Same Roof

Brandon was laid out around a public square in 1831 and named for Gerard Brandon, the state’s first native-born governor. The Downtown Brandon Historic District around Government Street is largely commercial now, but the residential streets immediately around it carry the oldest housing stock in the city, close to a century old in places, plank decking rather than sheet, with rafter spacing a modern nail gun does not expect. None of that stops the job. It changes where we are willing to put the mount, and on the oldest of these roofs we will often prefer a fascia or wall mount to a penetration into decking of unknown condition.

The other Brandon is the one built in the last two decades: Crossgates, Grove Park, The Commons, Summerwood and the subdivisions further out, composition shingle over a clean deck, a straightforward pivot mount job in most cases. If the property is inside an HOA, tell us before we book. Most architectural committees have no issue with a roof-mounted dish placed on a rear or side slope, and knowing that up front saves a second trip.

The Ross Barnett Reservoir Is North of Town, and It Is a Different Kind of Job

The Rez, as it is known locally, is a 33,000-acre impoundment of the Pearl River with roughly 24,000 acres of open water. It does not touch Brandon itself. The city’s northern limit stops about four miles short of the water, with unincorporated Rankin County in between, and it is Flowood that actually fronts the southern shore. What that means practically is that the lake work is a short drive north rather than something inside the city, and we cover all of it: Lakeshore Park on the Rankin County side, Pelahatchie Shore Park, and the marinas that run slips on the lake. Lake houses, weekend places, RVs at the park campgrounds and boats in the marinas are all routine work for us.

Water is not an obstruction. A property whose north side faces open reservoir usually has the cleanest sightline we see in the county, and those installs tend to be quick. A boat at Main Harbor or Safe Harbor is a marine install with its own mount discipline, different from a house, so tell us which one you are asking about when you call.

A Brandon Starlink Installer Covers Rankin County and the Ring Around It

West toward Jackson we cover Pearl, Flowood and Richland in Rankin County, then Jackson, Clinton and Byram in Hinds County. North we cover Ridgeland, Madison and Canton in Madison County, on the far side of the lake from Brandon. East we cover Pelahatchie and out into Scott County at Morton and Forest. South we cover Florence and Star, then into Simpson County at Puckett and Mendenhall.

The ring past the county line is the same job on the same terms. The drive does not change the price, and the rest of Mississippi is covered on the same basis.

What the Quote Covers, and What Moves It

Residential installs start at $385. What moves the number from there is the work itself: which mount your roof requires, how high the mast has to be, how long and awkward the cable run is, and whether a second building needs covering. A virtual site survey is free and reads the sky over your roof before anyone gets on a ladder. An on-site survey is $199 if you want somebody physically at the property first, which on a wooded county lot is often worth it.

You will have the figure before any work starts. We do not quote on the roof, and the drive out to Morton or down to Mendenhall does not add to it.

We carry general liability insurance and our technicians are experienced and insured. We are an independent installer: you own the hardware and you hold the Starlink account. We do not sell you the service plan, we do not open the account for you, and we do not take a cut of your monthly bill. What we sell is the install. What a Starlink install actually costs is broken down in full elsewhere on the site if you want the detail before you call.

The Roofs and the Jobs We Say No To

  • We do not drill metal roofs. Not on a house, not on a shop, not on a barn, not for a discount. Our written standard says we never drill into a metal roof and to use a non-penetrating mount instead, and that is what happens, or the job does not get done by us.
  • We do not mount to slate or clay tile. Our standard documents five mounts and none of them is for those roofs.
  • We do not do roof repair. If your deck is soft or the shingles are at the end of their life, get a roofer first.
  • We do not do electrical work or size your solar array. We will tell you the dish averages 75 to 100 watts so you can give that number to whoever does, and that is where our part of it stops.
  • We do not sell you the Starlink service plan or open the account. You own the hardware and hold the account. We handle the install.
  • We will not drill a roof on a tenant’s say-so. If you rent, written permission from the owner comes first and we will need to see it.

Frequently Asked Questions

We're right on the Ross Barnett Reservoir. Does the water help or hurt the signal?

It helps. Open water is not an obstruction, so a property whose north side faces the reservoir usually has one of the cleanest sightlines we see in the county. The one thing to tell us up front is whether the install is the house or a boat at one of the marinas, because a marine install uses different hardware and a different mount than a house does.

Our neighborhood is one of the newer ones off Crossgates or Grove Park, and there's an HOA. Will that be a problem?

Usually not. Most architectural committees in these subdivisions are fine with a roof-mounted dish, particularly on a rear or side slope. Tell us there is an HOA when you book and we will plan the placement with that in mind from the start rather than after the fact.

We're in Old Town Brandon near the square, and the house is close to a hundred years old. What's different about that roof?

The deck is often plank rather than sheet, and the rafter spacing was not built for a modern nail gun. None of that stops the install. It does mean we look before we quote, and on the oldest roofs we will often prefer a fascia or wall mount to a penetration into decking of unknown condition.

How long does it take to get booked in Brandon?

Most jobs are booked within a week. If the kit is already at the property and the survey is clean, it is often sooner than that.

Central Mississippi gets nasty spring storms. Will the mount actually hold up?

That is what the mount discipline is for. The dish’s wind rating assumes a properly torqued, sealed mount and a cable that is clipped tight the whole way down rather than left loose. We check both on every job, and it is the reason we do not rush the sealing step even on an easy roof.

We have a metal shop or barn on the property out toward Morton or Pelahatchie. Can you mount to that?

Not by drilling it, ever. Our written standard is that we never drill into a metal roof and use a non-penetrating mount instead. On a metal shop that usually means a ballasted non-penetrating mount, a fascia or wall mount to solid timber, or a ground pole.

Often yes, but it needs an actual survey rather than a guess from the yard. Loblolly pine grows fast here, and a stand that looked clear a few years ago can now sit inside the dish’s view to the north. Book the free virtual site survey and we will read the real sky over your roof before anything is booked.

We rent in one of the newer complexes. Can you still install for us?

Yes, with written permission from the property owner, which we will need to see before we drill anything. If a drilled mount is not something the owner wants to approve, a non-penetrating mount or a ground pole is often a much easier conversation and takes nothing out of the building.
