Indianapolis is flat, and on ground this flat the sky is rarely what decides an install. What decides it here is the roof, and specifically what the roof has been through. Central Indiana takes hail most springs, a large share of Marion County housing is brick veneer over frame, and nearly every house has a basement or a crawlspace the cable has to get into somehow. Those three facts shape more of our work in this county than any tree or any neighbor does.
Before you decide anything, and before you call us, run your own address on speedtest.net at the hour you actually use the connection rather than trusting a coverage map. Much of Marion County is genuinely well served, and we will say so plainly. The calls that make sense here come from somewhere more specific: an outer township where the wired build thins, a roof with an open hail claim on it, a brick house nobody wants a hole in, a rig headed for the Speedway in May, a boat on Geist, or a second connection that has to hold when the first one drops.
Hail Season Decides When, Not Whether
The first question we ask in this county is not about the sky. It is whether there is a claim open on your roof.
Central Indiana sits in hail country, and a great many Marion County roofs are replaced on an insurance cycle rather than an age cycle. A roof that looks fine in April can have an adjuster on it in June and a crew tearing it off in August. A dish mounted through shingle in May is then in the way of all of that, and somebody ends up paying twice.
So we ask, and the answer changes the method rather than the date. If a claim is open or a re-roof is coming, the dish goes on a wall or on a ballasted mount that penetrates nothing, and it moves onto the new roof afterward. If the roof is sound and staying, a pivot roof mount goes into the rafters through composition shingle with every pilot hole sealed, and we photograph where the fixings sit so a roofer can pull and reseat it cleanly the next time hail comes through.
None of that costs you a delay. It costs you a two-minute conversation at the survey, and it is the difference between an install that survives the next re-roof and one that does not.
Brick Veneer Is Not a Wall You Bolt Into Blindly
Drive through Broad Ripple, Irvington, the streets around Nora or any of the post-war subdivisions south of Washington Street and you are looking at brick. Most of it is veneer: a single wythe of brick standing in front of a wood-framed wall, tied back to the framing but carrying nothing.
That matters because a standard wall mount takes real load, and veneer is not structure. An anchor set into the brick alone is holding onto a skin. The fixing has to go through the veneer and into the framing behind it, or it has to be sized and set for masonry properly on the older solid-brick houses where the wall really is the wall. Which of those you have is not always obvious from the driveway, and getting it wrong is how a mount is loose in two winters.
We check before we drill, we seal the penetration through the brick so water does not track into the cavity, and where a house has a flat-roofed addition or an attached garage with a low-slope roof, a ballasted mount sits on it under its own weight and the question goes away entirely. What we check before anything goes on a roof covers what we look at on the roof side.
The Old North Side and Its Tree Lawns
Meridian-Kessler, Butler-Tarkington, the streets off College and Central, and the older grid on the east side around Irvington share one thing: the strips of grass between the sidewalk and the curb were planted with maples and oaks eighty to a hundred years ago, and those rows are now the biggest thing on the block.
The dish looks north. On a lot this flat, the northern sky is usually yours unless a tree lawn row or the neighbor’s second story has it. The tree lawns run along the street, so a house whose front faces south has the row behind the dish where it does no harm, and a house whose front faces north has it exactly where it costs the most. Same street, opposite sides, different jobs.
Where the front of the house is the problem, the back usually is not. A rear roof plane, a detached garage on the alley or a shed at the back of the lot frequently has the sky the front lost, and the connection comes back over a point-to-point wireless bridge to the house. On the old grid, where nearly every lot has an alley, that is often the cleanest answer available.
Rim Joists, Basements and Where the Cable Goes In
Nearly every house in this county sits over a basement or a crawlspace, and that changes where the cable should enter the building.
The wrong answer is a hole through the wall into a finished room, which puts the entry at eye level on the outside and a router in a bedroom on the inside. The right answer, most of the time, is down the wall and in through the rim joist just above the foundation, with a drip loop below the entry so water sheds off the cable before it reaches the hole, and the penetration sealed properly on the outside. From there the cable runs the basement ceiling to wherever the router actually belongs.
On the wall run the cable is clipped, not taped, and the clips are the small stainless kind that hold through an Indiana winter. Where the run crosses roof, it is fixed with roofing tape rather than fasteners. It is a small thing, and it is the thing that tells you whether an installer has done this before.
Race Weekend, the Reservoirs and the Logistics Yards
Not everything we mount is attached to a house, and this county produces three kinds of that work in volume.
Every May the infield and the lots around the Speedway fill with coaches and fifth wheels for the better part of a month, and a lot of them want a working connection before they leave the driveway. On RV Starlink installation the mount anchors into the coach’s own structure instead of screwing through a roof skin that was never built to carry a load, the cable stays pinned down the full run so nothing shakes loose on the interstate, and power draws from the house bank, not the chassis battery. Whatever the rig needs, our crew shows up with it.
Geist, Morse and Eagle Creek put a surprising amount of water inside and just outside the county, and the pontoons, wake boats and cruisers on them are a real share of what we do. Starlink installation for yachts and boats is a different specification from a roof: everything stainless, a sealed entry that still comes apart for service, and power off the house bank rather than the starting battery.
And this is a logistics city. One of the largest air cargo hubs in the world sits at the airport, and the warehouse corridor runs west along I-70 through Plainfield. Starlink installation for cars and trucks covers the service trucks and work vans, and Starlink installation for mobile fleets holds every truck in a whole fleet to that same standard, and in a city built around moving freight, that’s routine work rather than a special case.
Township by Township, Who Actually Calls
Marion County and the city are the same government, which means the county line is a long way from downtown and the outer townships are not suburbs in the usual sense. They are inside the city and still have working farms in them.
Franklin Township in the southeast, Decatur in the southwest and the far corners of Pike and Lawrence are where the wired build thins out, where a house sits on five acres with a pole barn and a long driveway, and where a great many of our residential calls come from. The install is the same one we do in Meridian-Kessler. The reason for it is different: out here it is frequently the only connection worth having rather than a second one.
Inside the loop the calls come for other reasons: a second path that does not fail for the same reasons the first one does, a house whose wired service has a fault nobody will come out for, or a kit somebody already bought and wants done properly. That is your call, and the survey is where we make it with real numbers.
Where We Drive Across Indianapolis, and What the Quote Covers
Across the city we work everywhere, from Broad Ripple and Meridian-Kessler through Butler-Tarkington and Castleton, Irvington and Fountain Square, the near west side and Speedway, out to Franklin Township, Decatur and the townships at the county line.
Around it we cover the counties Marion runs into: north to Carmel, Fishers and Zionsville, east to Lawrence and Cumberland, south to Greenwood and Bargersville, and west through Speedway to Avon, Plainfield and Brownsburg.
Residential installs start at $385. What moves it from there is the work at the far end: whether an open roof claim puts the dish on a wall or a ballasted mount for now, what the wall turns out to be behind the brick, how long the run to the rim joist is, and whether a pole barn, a garage or a second building has to come onto the connection. A virtual survey is free and reads the sky over your actual roof before anyone commits to a date. An on-site survey is $199 if you would rather have a technician physically at the property first.
Typical scheduling is around 72 hours. If the kit is already at the house and the survey comes back clean, same day is often possible. We are an independent installer: you own the hardware and you hold your own 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, and what a Starlink install actually costs is broken down in full elsewhere on the site.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, and you do not have to. If a re-roof is coming, the dish goes on a wall or on a ballasted mount that penetrates nothing, and it moves onto the new roof once it is on. If the roof is sound and staying, a pivot roof mount goes into the rafters with every pilot hole sealed, and we photograph the fixing positions so a roofer can pull and reseat it cleanly the next time hail comes through. The conversation takes two minutes at the survey and it saves paying for the same job twice.
Yes, and the first thing we establish is whether the brick is veneer over a framed wall or a solid masonry wall, because they take different anchors. Veneer is a skin tied back to the framing and carries no load, so the fixing goes through it into the studs behind. Solid brick takes a masonry anchor sized and set for the material. The penetration is sealed so water does not track into the cavity, and on a house with a flat-roofed addition a ballasted mount sidesteps the wall entirely.
It depends on which side of the house the street is. The dish looks north, so a tree lawn row on the south side of the house is behind the dish and does no harm. A row on the north side is the one that costs you. Where the front of the house has lost its sky, the rear roof plane or the garage on the alley usually still has it, with a wireless bridge back to the house. The free virtual survey settles it over your actual lot rather than your block.
Through the rim joist just above the foundation, most of the time, rather than through a wall into a finished room. That keeps the outside entry low and out of sight, gives the cable a proper drip loop before the hole, and puts the run in the basement ceiling where it can reach whichever room the router actually belongs in. The penetration is sealed on the outside and finished inside. On a slab house without a basement we pick the entry with you at the survey.
Yes, and May is the busiest month we have for it here. The mount is bolt-anchored into the coach’s structure rather than through a thin roof skin, the cable is clipped so nothing works loose on the interstate, and power comes off the house bank rather than the chassis battery. Our technicians arrive with the equipment the job needs. Book it before the month starts and it is done in the driveway, not in a lot.
Yes, and the reservoirs keep us busier with it than people expect. A hull moves whenever the boat does, so every fixing is stainless and none of them is trusted to stay tight on its own. The cable entry is sealed and still serviceable later, and the draw comes off the house bank, never the starting battery. Tell us whether the boat lives on a lift, at a dock or on a trailer, because a trailered boat takes highway wind every trip and that changes the specification.
Yes, on the same terms and at the same price. We work north to Carmel, Fishers and Zionsville, east to Lawrence and Cumberland, south to Greenwood and Bargersville, and west through Speedway to Avon, Plainfield and Brownsburg. Crossing the county line does not change what you pay. What it occasionally changes is scheduling, so mention it at the survey and the visit gets booked properly the first time.
Most residential installs are a couple of hours once we are on site. Typical scheduling is around 72 hours from the survey, and if your kit is already at the house and the survey comes back clean, same day is often available. What slows a job down here is rarely the hardware. It is a roof claim that has not been settled, a brick wall whose construction has to be confirmed before we choose an anchor, or a rim-joist run that turns out to be longer than the photo suggested.
