Starlink install cost depends on the mount, the cable run and the trees on your property.
A Starlink install can be a quick roof mount on a single-story house, or a pole in the yard, a trench and a cable run into a second building. Four things change the price: the mount, the cable run, the trees, and whether the job grows to include Wi-Fi for the rest of the property.

How the type of mount changes the cost
A roof or eave mount on a single-story house that’s easy to get onto is the simplest job. A pole mount out in the yard means setting the pole, running cable back to the house, and usually burying it in a trench so nobody mows through it. Chimney mounts, two-story houses and metal roofs fall somewhere between those two.
Why running the cable takes most of the time
Mounting the dish is quick. Most of the labor is getting the cable from the dish to where your router needs to be, sealed where it goes into the building and hidden wherever it would otherwise show. Distance matters because Starlink’s cable only goes so far: the standard kit comes with a 49-foot cable and the longest Starlink sells is about 148 feet. A longer distance needs a different setup, not just a longer cable.

What else affects the cost
How trees affect where the dish goes and what it costs
An open lot is straightforward. The dish needs a clear view of the sky, so under heavy tree cover the only spot that works can be a long way from the house. That turns a short job into a pole, a trench and a long cable run.
When Starlink leads to whole home and property Wi-Fi
Three out of every five Starlink installs go on to become a whole home Wi-Fi job. That’s a separate decision, with its own quote.
whole home and property Wi-FiWhere to buy the Starlink kit
You buy the kit from Starlink, a Starlink-authorized retailer, or from DLT, if we have them in stock. You then book the installation separately with DLT. The kit ships with a kickstand for the ground and a 49-foot cable. Starlink sells its mounts and the longer cable separately, and which of those your job needs gets worked out when we discuss the job.
What Starlink’s own install covers
Starlink sells a professional install through a national partner in select areas, when you buy the kit. By Starlink’s own description, a standard install mounts the dish, runs the cable to the nearest entry point of the house and sets up the router there. Pole mounts aren’t included and Starlink’s installers can’t do them, and longer cables, trenching or routing the cable an unusual way can cost extra. If your property is simple, Starlink’s own install may be the right choice. If it involves a pole, a trench, an outbuilding or heavy tree cover, it’s a different kind of job from Starlink’s standard install.
“We opted to do a pole mount in the yard. He did a super clean job and I couldn’t even see where it was trenched.”

Questions about what a Starlink install costs
(386) 243-9535Donnie answers the phone Monday to Saturday, 9am to 7pm.
How much does it cost to get someone to install Starlink?
It depends on the mount, the cable run and your property. Fill out the quote request form or call, and describe the property. Standard installations can often be quoted on the call. For other jobs, we’ll discuss the job and give you a quote or explain what else we need.
How much do installers charge to install Starlink?
It varies by installer and by property, so a price posted on a website only fits one kind of job. What changes the price is the same everywhere: the type of mount, how far the cable runs, whether it has to be buried, and how easy the spot is to get to.
Why won’t you put a price on the website?
Because one price would be wrong for most people who read it. A price that fits an easy roof mount would mislead anyone who needs a pole and a trench, and a price that fits a hard job would scare off people whose job is easy.
Is it cheaper to install Starlink myself?
Yes, if the lot is open and you’re comfortable on a roof. It stops being cheaper when the mount has to hold through storm season, or when the cable has to get inside without leaving a hole that leaks.
Do you charge for a site visit?
Yes. A site visit, when needed, is billed. Asking for a quote is free.
Tell us about the property. We’ll give you a quote or explain what else we need.
