Pennsylvania’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
Monroe County is the heart of the Poconos — mountain homes and vacation homes from Stroudsburg and Tannersville up to Pocono Pines, Tobyhanna, and Blakeslee, in lake communities like Lake Naomi, Arrowhead Lake, and Emerald Lakes. Summer storms build over the plateau and strike the high ground first, and many of these homes sit empty between weekends. We protect the whole property under one plan, every building covered.
Monroe County packs more exposed rooftops into its woods than anywhere else in the Poconos. Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg anchor the south with older homes and church steeples along the Brodhead; Tannersville and Bartonsville spread custom homes across the foothills; and the plateau communities — Lake Naomi and Locust Lake Village at Pocono Pines, Stillwater Lakes, Emerald Lakes, A Pocono Country Place at Tobyhanna, Arrowhead Lake at Blakeslee — hold thousands of vacation homes among tall pines on high ground. Add the working farms and horse properties around Brodheadsville, Saylorsburg, and Gilbert, and the pattern holds everywhere: tall trees, high ground, big storms, and houses that are empty half the week.
WB Lightning Rods protects Monroe County homes the way we’ve protected homes and farms since 1950 — complete systems designed building by building, priced as one property plan, with tree protection factored in wherever the pines crowd the roofline. Our Poconos page covers the mountain region as a whole, Lake Harmony included; this page is Monroe County town by town. 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 — we make old systems great again.
Vacation homes are unoccupied most of the week. A strike-started fire in an empty house burns long before anyone sees it — a grounded system is protection that’s on duty every storm, all season.
The Pocono plateau catches intense summer lightning, and homes on the high ground around Tobyhanna, Mount Pocono, and Pocono Pines meet those storms first.
Community homes are built among mature pines that tower over the roofline. A strike to a nearby tree can side-flash into the roof or travel the roots to the foundation — which is why we protect trees, too.
One company for the whole property — mountain homes, vacation homes, lake community homes, and farms, anywhere in Monroe 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.
Systems designed for the homes of Lake Naomi, Arrowhead Lake, Emerald Lakes, and Monroe County’s other lake communities — main house, garage, and boathouse protected together.
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, garages, pole buildings, boathouses, barns, 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 Monroe County specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along ridgelines, chimneys, cupolas, and dormers — the high points lightning seeks first, sized to sit quietly on the roof.
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 the plateau’s rocky, wooded 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.
Garages, pole buildings, boathouses, barns, sheds, and guest houses incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A Monroe County property is rarely just the house. Our packages price the whole property as one design — main house, garage, pole building, and boathouse, all protected, with nearby trees assessed as part of the plan — which costs less than protecting buildings one at a time and leaves no gap between them. Well pumps, pool equipment, and hot tub wiring all ride the same electrical service, and the design accounts for every one of them.
Neighbors in the same lake community who install together share one trip and one setup, and because WB serves all of Pennsylvania statewide, a Stroudsburg home and a second property anywhere else in the state are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so the process can start with one call.
Real WB installations — a custom home under construction protected as it goes up, and a mountain roofline fitted 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.
It makes the most sense there. A strike-started fire in an empty house can burn long before a neighbor sees it. A properly grounded system doesn’t need anyone home — it’s working every storm, all season, whether you’re at the lake or hours away.
A tall pine close to the house can side-flash a strike into the roof, or send current through its roots toward the foundation. We offer lightning protection for trees themselves — their own terminals and grounding — and we factor nearby trees into every Monroe County design.
Same company, same systems. The Poconos page covers the whole mountain region; this page is Monroe County specifically — Stroudsburg, the plateau communities, and the farm country around Brodheadsville and Saylorsburg — where most of our Pocono work actually happens.
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 rods on the roof: a properly grounded system gives strike energy a direct, controlled path to earth at the structure itself.
We do — inspections and repairs are core work for us. Many community homes carry systems that went up with the house and were never checked again. We test terminals, cables, connections, and grounding, repair what’s worn, 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.
