Pennsylvania’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
Pike County is defined by water and high ground — waterfront homes along the Delaware River at Milford, Matamoras, and Dingmans Ferry, lake communities like Hemlock Farms, Fawn Lake Forest, and Masthope, and mountain homes in the woods toward the Delaware Water Gap. Summer storms ride the river valley and strike the high points first. We protect the whole property under one plan: house, garage, pole building, and boathouse, every building covered.
Pike County’s homes are built where lightning likes to land. Along the Delaware, waterfront homes in Milford, Matamoras, and Dingmans Ferry stand open above the river, the tallest structures on their banks. Inland, the lake communities — Hemlock Farms at Lords Valley, Fawn Lake Forest, Masthope, Gold Key Lake, and Pocono Mountain Lake Forest — put thousands of homes among tall pines on high ground, many of them second homes that sit empty during the week. Around Bushkill, Greentown, Shohola, and Lackawaxen, mountain homes, custom homes, and cabins spread through the woods toward the Water Gap. A strike to a tall pine beside the house, or to the roof of an empty lake home, is the exposure this county lives with every summer.
WB Lightning Rods protects Pike County homes the way we’ve protected homes and farms since 1950 — complete systems designed building by building, then priced as one property plan, with tree protection factored in wherever big pines stand close to the roof. 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.
Homes above the Delaware at Milford and Matamoras stand open to storms that ride the river valley at full strength. The house on the bank is the tallest thing the storm meets.
Much of Pike County is second-home country. A strike-started fire in an empty lake-community house burns long before it’s seen — a grounded system is protection that works whether you’re there or not.
Lake-community and mountain 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 — waterfront homes, lake community homes, mountain homes, and cabins, anywhere in Pike 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 Delaware River waterfront homes of Milford, Matamoras, and Dingmans Ferry — low-profile terminals, clean cable runs, and grounding designed for riverbank lots.
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, 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 Pike 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 riverbank soils and 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, sheds, and guest houses incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A Pike 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 dock 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 Milford river 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 crew member fitting a rod on a home’s turret roof, and country properties protected by our own installers.

They’re more exposed, yes. A home standing open above the Delaware is the tallest structure on its bank, and storms ride the river valley at full strength. Protection is designed for exactly that profile: terminals on every high point, clean conductor runs, and grounding that gives a strike a direct path to earth.
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 three 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 Pike County design.
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.
