Starlight Ceiling Cost Guide
Published StarLight prices for pre-made panels and professionally installed ceilings, the factors that change a total, and worked examples you can budget from.
The appropriately sized standard light engine system is included in every panel order and every residential package price, with no separate standard light-engine charge.

Offices, hospitality, retail, wellness and entertainment spaces differ in area, geometry, finishes, access and scheduling, so StarLight publishes no commercial price list. Each commercial quote is itemized after we review your drawings and site details.
