Starlink Installers in Canada – Province Directory 2026

Check Starlink first

Use Starlink’s installer support page or your order flow. The trained service is offered only in select markets and is currently described for Residential plans.

Use local help for custom work

A local tower, satellite, low-voltage, or network contractor may be a better match for barns, detached buildings, long cable paths, RVs, and larger Wi-Fi systems.

Confirm what the quote includes

Ask who supplies the mount, where the cable will enter, how holes will be sealed, where the router will sit, and what happens if a return visit is needed.

DIY may be fine when

• You can place the dish in a safe open area with a clear sky view.
• You are only testing Starlink before choosing a permanent mount.
• The cable can enter through an existing opening without drilling.
• You do not need roof work, a tower, trenching, or whole-home Wi-Fi.

Hire help when

• The best location is on a roof, wall, pole, tower, boathouse, barn, or detached garage.
• Trees or buildings are causing obstruction warnings in the Starlink app.
• You need weatherproof cable routing, exterior conduit, or clean wall penetrations.
• You want mesh Wi-Fi, point-to-point links, or coverage across a cottage property.
• The install involves heights, ladders, steep roofs, ice, snow, or fall risk.

Safety and liability

• Are you insured for roof, ladder, and exterior work?
• Do you have fall-safety or working-at-heights training where required?
• Who is responsible if a roof penetration leaks later?
• Will you avoid drilling if a non-penetrating mount is safer?

Starlink experience

• How many Starlink installs have you completed?
• Can you show photos of similar installs?
• Do you check the Starlink app for obstructions before mounting?
• Do you handle Gen 3 Standard, Mini, High Performance, and older hardware?

Cabling and weatherproofing

• How will the cable enter the building?
• Will the cable be protected with conduit where exposed?
• Will drip loops, sealant, strain relief, and proper fastening be used?
• Who supplies longer cables or replacement parts if needed?

Wi-Fi and support

• Will you test speeds and obstructions after the install?
• Can you place the router in a practical location, not just the closest room?
• Can you add mesh Wi-Fi or wired access points if the home is large?
• What is covered if the service drops after you leave?

1. Use the Starlink app first

Walk around the property with the Starlink app and check for obstructions. Take screenshots of the best locations so the installer starts with real data.

2. Decide where the router should go

The easiest cable entry is not always the best router location. Think about your office, streaming devices, smart TVs, and where Wi-Fi is weakest.

3. Confirm permissions

For rentals, condos, cottages, shared properties, or commercial buildings, confirm exterior mounting rules before anyone drills or attaches hardware.

Mounting before scanning

A spot can look open from the ground and still be blocked along the satellite path. Run the Starlink obstruction scan before anyone drills.

Treating Wi-Fi as an afterthought

A clear dish does not guarantee good indoor coverage. A router tucked into a basement, utility room, or far corner can leave much of the home with weak Wi-Fi.

Leaving the cable unprotected

Ice, animals, vehicles, lawn equipment, sharp roof edges, and repeated movement can damage an exposed cable. Agree on protection and fastening before the work starts.

Making future service difficult

The dish, cable, or router may need replacement later. Avoid a layout that requires major roof or wall work every time one part needs attention.
