Before booking, we conduct a complimentary virtual site assessment to review sky visibility and potential mounting locations. In areas where mature tree coverage, wind exposure, or heavy snow loads are common, such as wooded residential developments or lake-adjacent properties throughout the state, we may evaluate multiple mounting options on-site to achieve the clearest signal. If reliable performance isn’t likely, we don’t proceed, and when options exist, the final placement is explained and approved by you.

Residential installations start at $385 and include dish mounting, sealed cable entry, and router setup, with final pricing shaped by mounting method, cable length, access conditions, and overall complexity. In Minnesota, we often plan around steep roof pitches and attic access limitations common in older housing stock across the Twin Cities metro, as well as longer exterior cable runs typical of properties with detached garages in outstate communities. Commercial installations are $750 per site, or $650 per site for three or more locations, while mobile installs for RVs and vehicles start at $650. We always provide a complete quote upfront so scope and pricing are agreed on before scheduling.

Every installation includes a one-year workmanship guarantee and three months of business-hours technical support for configuration or performance questions. Our focus is long-term reliability, and optional extended support or account management is available separately if your setup becomes more complex or usage needs change over time.

We arrive with the full scope already defined, which keeps the visit structured and efficient from start to finish. Exterior mounting and cable routing are completed first, followed by interior router setup, speed testing, and a walkthrough of the Starlink app. For homes with layouts like split-level or rambler-style properties common across Minnesota suburbs, we plan interior access points in advance to keep cable paths clean and disruption minimal.

Installations are usually scheduled within about seventy-two hours once the site assessment is complete. In Minnesota, winter weather, snow accumulation, or freeze-thaw conditions affecting roof safety in regions like central and northern parts of the state can occasionally influence timing. If weather or regional demand causes any delay, we communicate that clearly before your appointment is confirmed so expectations stay aligned.
