Georgia’s #1 Lightning Protection Contractor
From Atlanta’s tree-canopy neighborhoods and Milton’s horse farms to the Savannah coast, the North Georgia ridge-tops, and the south Georgia farm belt, WB Lightning Rods protects Georgia properties statewide — the way we’ve protected farms and fine homes since 1950.
Georgia is one of the most lightning-active states in the Southeast, and its buildings take the strikes. Summer thunderstorms fire almost daily over the Piedmont and the coastal plain, and tropical systems push ashore along the Golden Isles. Atlanta’s neighborhoods stand under one of the tallest urban tree canopies in America, with big homes rising into it; horse farms in Milton, Athens, and Oconee County put barns and arenas in open pasture; and south of Macon, barns, pecan sheds, and center pivots stand alone in flat farm fields. A strike to a chimney can tear masonry and ignite framing, a strike to a barn can take the building and everything in it, and a strike anywhere on the property can send destructive current through every circuit in the house.
WB Lightning Rods works all over Georgia — Atlanta and North Fulton, Athens and the northeast, Savannah and the coast, Augusta and the river country, the North Georgia mountains, and the middle and south Georgia farm belt. 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.
Atlanta’s canopy is beautiful — and it puts tall pines and oaks directly over rooftops in every neighborhood from Buckhead to Decatur. Trees and chimneys share the strike zone, and a designed system covers both.
From Milton and Alpharetta to Oconee County and the south Georgia pecan belt, barns, arenas, and equipment sheds stand in open fields — the tallest structures for a mile, holding animals, feed, hay, and machinery.
Golden Isles homes take storms off the Atlantic at full strength, and North Georgia cabins stand alone on ridge-tops. Open water and high ground both put your roofline first in line.
One company for the whole property — homes, farms, barns, trees, and every building in between, anywhere in Georgia.
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 — Atlanta and Savannah historic homes, coastal homes on the Golden Isles, and lake homes on Lake Oconee.
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 WB system is built to NFPA 780 guidelines using UL-listed materials made in the USA — and designed for Georgia specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, barn ridgelines, and silos — the high points lightning seeks first on Georgia 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 Piedmont red clay to coastal sand and south Georgia loam — 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 Georgia work follows the state’s own geography. In the north it’s the Blue Ridge foothills — cabins and second homes around Blue Ridge and Dahlonega. Across the Piedmont it’s Atlanta’s canopy neighborhoods, Milton’s horse country, Athens and Oconee County, and Augusta along the river. South, it’s Macon and Columbus, the pecan belt, and the flat farm fields running to Tifton and Valdosta — and east, the Savannah coast and the Golden Isles.
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 horse farm in Milton and a pecan farm in Tift County are one call, one company.
Six regions, one crew, one standard of work — pick your part of the state.
Custom homes under Atlanta’s tall canopy — Buckhead, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, and Milton horse country — where big roofs and taller trees share every lot.
Athens’ classic neighborhoods, Oconee County horse farms, and Lake Oconee lake homes — barns and docks under open sky.
Historic Savannah homes and coastal houses from Tybee Island to St. Simons, Jekyll Island, and Brunswick — where storms come off the Atlantic at full strength.
Historic Summerville homes, Evans and Martinez suburbs, and river-country farms — tall pines and taller chimneys along the Savannah River.
Cabins and second homes around Blue Ridge, Dahlonega, and Ellijay — ridge-top roofs standing alone above the tree line.
Macon, Columbus, and the farm belt from Perry to Tifton and Valdosta — barns, pecan orchards, and equipment sheds in open fields.
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.
Lifetime warranty on parts and labor, with a 5-year maintenance check at no cost. Then you watch Georgia storms the calm way.
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.
Yes — WB serves all of Georgia, statewide. Our crews run Atlanta and North Fulton, Athens, Savannah and the coast, Augusta, the mountains, and the farm belt 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 lake shore 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.
