Muskoka is the part of Ontario where cable simply stops. Past the edge of Bracebridge and Gravenhurst you are on line-of-sight fixed wireless, a tired LTE stick, or nothing — which is exactly the gap Starlink fills. But a Muskoka install is not a Toronto install with a longer drive, and the companies that treat it that way leave a mess behind.
Three things make it its own job. The tree line. Mature white pine and hemlock sit well above most cottage rooflines, and a dish that clears the trees in July can be blocked by snow-loaded branches in January. We survey the actual sky view before we drill, and if the roof will not clear, we quote a gable, pole or short tower instead of installing something that will drop out all winter.
The building. Cottages are timber frame, log, board-and-batten and hundred-year-old additions, not tidy suburban trusses. Cable entries need sealing against ice, carpenter ants and red squirrels, and the fastener that works on an asphalt roof does nothing on cedar shake. We carry hardware for all of it.
The season. Most Muskoka properties sit empty from Thanksgiving to May long weekend. Everything we mount is installed to survive that unattended, and we show you how to shut the system down in the fall and bring it back up in the spring without a service call.
Every Toronto competitor quotes “from $550” and refuses to say what the real number is. Here is ours.
// Prices in CAD before HST. You supply the Starlink kit — order it at starlink.com, or text us and we will tell you which one to buy. Materials at cost with the receipt shown.
// Two cottages on the same lake? Split the travel fee — ask us to pair the bookings.
