From Main Line estates and Lancaster dairy barns to Chester County horse farms and shale-country properties out west, WB Lightning Rods protects Pennsylvania properties statewide — the way we’ve protected farms and fine homes since 1950.
Pennsylvania packs a lot of lightning exposure into one state. Summer storm lines roll off Lake Erie and across the Allegheny Plateau, cells build over the ridge-and-valley country and break across the Piedmont, and the southeast takes humid Atlantic storm flow up the Delaware. The buildings at risk are the ones WB knows best: tall bank barns standing alone in open fields, horse farms with miles of fencing, estate homes whose chimneys and ridgelines stand above the tree line, and rural properties spread across the shale country of the north and west.
WB Lightning Rods works all over Pennsylvania — the Main Line and Chester County, Lancaster and York farm country, the Lehigh Valley, Harrisburg and the Susquehanna Valley, Pittsburgh and the western counties, and the northern tier. We protect the whole property: the house, the barns, the shops, and the trees that shade them, every building designed into the plan. Every system is installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner, and many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so getting protected starts with one call.
Pennsylvania is one of the top dairy states in the country, and a working dairy barn holds animals, feed, and equipment worth far more than the building. Timber framing and hay storage make a barn strike a worst case — and big barns and silos are usually the tallest structures on the farm.
From the Main Line to Saucon Valley and Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania’s estate homes carry tall chimneys, cupolas, and long rooflines above mature trees. A low-profile system protects the architecture without changing how the house looks.
Ridge-top farmhouses, shale-country properties, and barns standing in open fields meet storms at full strength. Out in the open, the tallest structure on the property is the one lightning finds.
One company for the whole property — homes, farms, barns, trees, and every building in between, anywhere in Pennsylvania.
Complete lightning rod systems for houses of every size, designed around your roofline — the work WB has done since 1950.
Low-profile systems designed around fine architecture, slate, tile, and metal roofs — from Main Line estates to Chester County horse farms.
Discreet, low-profile systems for older farmhouses and historic homes — clean runs along rooflines and downspout lines, protection you have to look for to see.
Barns, stables, and arenas protected along with the residence — horses, hay, and tack, all covered.
Agricultural buildings, equipment shops, and hay storage — the tallest structures on the farm, and the ones lightning finds first.
We protect all of your buildings — main house, barns, shops, guest houses, and outbuildings — with a lifetime of protection. Multi-building packages price the whole property together, so protecting everything costs less than protecting buildings one at a time.
Mature oaks, maples, and specimen trees protected with their own terminals and grounding, so a shade tree never becomes the strike path to your roof.
Neighbors who install together save together — neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages for your street, road, or lake shore.
Complete installations and repairs — that’s the work. Already have a system? We inspect it, repair storm damage and wear, and bring older installations up to current NFPA 780 standards. We make old systems great again.
Building new? We design and install protection while the home or barn is going up — cleaner cable runs, nothing retrofitted after the fact.
Every part of the system works together — rods on the roof, low-profile cables, and deep-driven grounds carry a strike safely into the earth.
Every WB system is built to NFPA 780 guidelines using UL-listed materials made in the USA — and designed for Pennsylvania specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, barn ridgelines, and silos — the high points lightning seeks first on Pennsylvania properties.
Heavy conductor cables routed cleanly along rooflines and downspout lines, carrying strike energy safely down and away from the structure.
Deep-driven ground rods at each structure, sized for local soils — from Lancaster limestone country to Allegheny shale and clay — so strike energy disperses safely into the earth.
Metal roofing, gutters, water lines, and electrical services bonded to the protection system, so stray current can’t side-flash between metal parts.
Barns, pole barns, equipment shops, guest houses, and silos incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
WB’s Pennsylvania work follows the state’s own geography. In the southeast it’s the estates of the Main Line and Bucks County and the horse country of Chester County. Across the middle it’s the great farm belt — Lancaster and York, the Cumberland Valley, and up the Susquehanna through Harrisburg and Hershey to State College — with the Lehigh Valley’s farms and Saucon Valley estates to the east. Out west it’s Pittsburgh’s ridge-top neighborhoods and the farm and gas country running from Washington and Greene up through the northern tier to Williamsport.
Wherever your property sits, the approach is the same: the whole property protected under one plan, priced together so multiple buildings cost less per building, and installed by our own crew under the owner’s personal supervision. A dairy farm in Lancaster County and an estate on the Main Line are one call, one company.
Six regions, one crew, one standard of work — pick your part of the state.
Estates and custom homes from Gladwyne, Villanova, and Bryn Mawr to Wayne, Newtown Square, West Chester, and Bucks County — protected with low-profile systems that respect the architecture.
Dairy farms, bank barns, silos, and pole buildings across Lancaster County — plus York County and the Hershey edge of farm country.
Estates in Fox Chapel and Sewickley, homes in Upper St. Clair and Cranberry, and farms across the western counties.
Homes, horse properties, and working farms from Saucon Valley, Bethlehem, and Allentown to Easton and the Slate Belt.
Farms and homes from Hershey, Mechanicsburg, and Carlisle up the Susquehanna Valley to State College.
Gas-country farms and rural properties across Washington and Greene counties and the Williamsport side of the Marcellus.
Real WB installations by our own crew — estate homes, dairy barns, horse farms, and pole barns.
Many quotes are built from satellite imagery of your home — fast, accurate, and no obligation. Call 1-800-557-9037.
Our experienced crew installs the system, and every installation is personally supervised by the owner, start to finish.

Yes — WB serves all of Pennsylvania, statewide. Our crews run the Philadelphia suburbs and Chester County, Lancaster and York, the Lehigh Valley, Harrisburg and Central Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh and the west, and the northern tier on regular routes, and many quotes are built from satellite imagery so distance never slows down getting your estimate.
Price depends on roof size and complexity, the number of buildings, and grounding conditions. Farm and estate packages price multiple buildings together, which brings the per-building cost down. Estimates are free — many are built from satellite imagery of your property — and every system carries a lifetime warranty on parts and labor.
Yes. When several homes on the same street, road, or valley install in the same trip, everyone shares the travel and setup — and we pass that saving on as a neighborhood discount on multi-home packages. It’s the most affordable way to protect a whole street, and it only takes one organizer to get it started.
That’s our specialty. Multi-building packages for farms cover the farmhouse, dairy or horse barns, pole barns, shops, and silos under one plan — we protect all of your buildings, with a lifetime of protection, and pricing the property together costs less than protecting buildings one at a time.
Yes. A strike to a nearby tree, fence line, or the ground itself — or one that hits utility lines down the road — can send a damaging surge through wiring, well pumps, and electronics. That’s why grounding and bonding matter as much as the rods on the roof: a properly grounded system gives strike energy a direct, controlled path to earth at the structure itself.
Yes. A tall tree close to a house or barn can side-flash a strike into the roof, or send current through its roots toward the foundation. We install lightning protection for trees themselves — their own terminals and grounding — and we factor nearby trees into every property design.
