Pennsylvania’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
Butler County splits north and south: dairy and crop farms around Butler, Chicora, and Slippery Rock in the north, and some of the fastest-growing custom-home country in Pennsylvania around Cranberry Township, Mars, and Seven Fields in the south — with lake homes on Lake Arthur between them. Barns on open ridge ground and hilltop homes share the same exposure. We protect the whole property under one plan, every building covered.
North Butler County is working farm country — dairy herds, beef, and crops from Butler and Saxonburg through Chicora, Prospect, and Portersville, with bank barns, silos, and pole buildings standing alone on open ridge ground, the tallest structures for a mile. Around Moraine State Park, lake homes line Lake Arthur’s shores, open to storms that cross the water at full strength. South, the county changes: Cranberry Township, Mars, Evans City, Zelienople, and Harmony have filled with custom homes on cleared hilltop lots — big roofs, tall chimneys, and nothing taller around them. Oil and gas country runs underneath it all in this part of the state, and the shops and outbuildings that come with it stand just as exposed as the barns.
WB Lightning Rods protects Butler County properties the way we’ve protected farms and homes since 1950 — complete systems designed building by building, then priced as one property plan: the farmhouse and the dairy barn, the custom home and its garage and pool house, all in the same design. Every system is built to NFPA 780 guidelines with UL-listed materials made in the USA, installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner. We also inspect and repair older systems across the county, from Slippery Rock down to Cranberry — we make old systems great again.
Butler County’s farms hold herds, feed, and hay in barns standing alone on ridge ground. A strike to a barn roof is the worst case — and rural response times raise the stakes.
Cranberry and Mars-area homes stand on open, high lots with big rooflines and tall chimneys. Height is the exposure, and low-profile design keeps the system nearly invisible.
Lakefront homes stand open to storms crossing the water, often the tallest structure on the shore. The house, garage, and boathouse belong in one plan.
One company for the whole property — farms, dairy barns, custom homes, and lake homes, anywhere in Butler County and across Pennsylvania statewide.
Complete lightning rod systems for houses of every size, designed around your roofline — the work WB has done since 1950.
Low-profile systems designed for the custom homes of Cranberry, Mars, and Seven Fields and the lake homes of Lake Arthur — clean runs along rooflines and downspout lines.
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 — farmhouse, dairy barns, shops, garages, pool houses, boathouses, 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 Butler County specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along farmhouse chimneys, barn ridgelines, silos, and the roof peaks of custom homes — the high points lightning seeks first.
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, worked into ridge soils, valley ground, and lakeshore lots so strike energy disperses quickly and 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.
Dairy barns, pole buildings, shops, garages, pool houses, boathouses, and silos incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A Butler County property is rarely one building, and it should not be protected one building at a time. Our packages price the whole property as one design — house, barns, pole buildings, shops, and garages, all protected — which costs less per building and leaves no gap between structures. Well pumps, pool equipment, and barn lighting all ride the same electrical service, and the design accounts for every one of them.
Neighbors along the same ridge road or suburban street who install together share one trip and one setup, and because WB serves all of Pennsylvania statewide, a Chicora farm and a Cranberry home are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so the process can start with one call.
Real WB installations — a white stable on a farm property, a crew member fitting a rod on a brick home, and pole barns protected by our own crew.
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 Pennsylvania storms the calm way.
That’s our specialty. Multi-building farm packages cover the farmhouse, dairy barn, pole buildings, shops, and silos under one plan, priced together so protecting everything costs less than protecting buildings one at a time.
Very little, when it’s designed properly. We use low-profile terminals and route heavy conductor cables cleanly along rooflines and downspout lines, following the architecture instead of fighting it. On most Cranberry and Mars-area homes, visitors never notice the system until it’s pointed out.
Yes. A strike to a nearby tree, a fence line, or utility lines down the road can send a damaging surge through wiring, well pumps, pool equipment, and electronics. That’s why grounding and bonding matter as much as the terminals on the roof: a properly grounded system gives strike energy a direct, controlled path to earth at the structure itself.
Lakefront homes stand open to storms that cross the water with nothing to slow them down, and the house is often the tallest structure on the shore. We protect Lake Arthur homes with the main house, garage, and boathouse in one plan.
We do — inspections and repairs are core work for us. We check terminals, cables, connections, and grounding, repair storm damage and wear, and bring older installations up to current NFPA 780 standards. We make old systems great again.
Price depends on roof size and complexity, the number of buildings, and grounding conditions. Multi-building packages price properties 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.
