Pennsylvania’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
Pocono homes sit on ridges and lake shores a thousand feet above the valleys, in weather that builds over the plateau and arrives at full strength. Second homes and lodges around Lake Harmony, Lake Naomi, and Arrowhead Lake stand empty through half of storm season. We protect the whole property — house, garage, outbuildings, and the trees over the roof.
Elevation is the Poconos’ whole story. The plateau country around Lake Harmony, Blakeslee, Pocono Pines, and Albrightsville sits high, and summer storms that build over the mountains reach ridge-top homes and lake-shore properties at full strength — there is nothing above them to take the first strike. A-frames and chalets push steep roof peaks up through the tree line, and the lakes — Harmony, Naomi, Arrowhead, and a hundred smaller ones — give storms open water to build over before they hit the shore.
WB Lightning Rods protects Pocono properties the way we’ve protected Pennsylvania homes since 1950: complete systems built to NFPA 780 guidelines with UL-listed materials made in the USA, designed for the property — house, garage, outbuildings, and shoreline trees in one 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.
On the plateau, the homes are the high ground. A chalet on a ridge above Lake Harmony, with a steep roof peak and a tall chimney, is the highest point in its hollow — exactly where a mountain storm makes contact.
Homes on Lake Harmony, Lake Naomi, and Arrowhead Lake stand between open water and the tree line, with docks and boathouses reaching into the lake — the most exposed structures on the property.
Second homes and rental properties stand empty midweek through the heart of storm season. A protection system is on duty whether the house is full or empty — it never needs anyone home.
One company for the whole property — mountain homes, lake homes, lodges, and outbuildings, anywhere in the Poconos & Lake Harmony area.
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 — stone, slate, and standing-seam metal roofs — with 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 — main house, garage, guest house, lodge buildings, 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 the Poconos specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, steep chalet peaks, and the shoreline trees that stand over them — the high points lightning seeks first on Pocono 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 the rocky mountain soils of the plateau, 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.
Garages, guest houses, lodge buildings, and sheds incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A Pocono property is often more than the house — a garage, a guest house, a boathouse down at the dock, a lodge building across the lot. Our multi-building packages price the whole property as one design, all of it protected, which costs less than protecting buildings one at a time and leaves no gap between them. Well pumps, dock power, hot tubs, and outbuilding circuits all ride the same service, and the design accounts for every one of them.
The same thinking applies lake by lake and ridge by ridge. Neighbors who install together earn neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages, and because WB serves all of Pennsylvania statewide, a Pocono second home and a primary home anywhere 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 — homes, carriage houses, and mountain properties 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.
It’s arguably worth more. Storm season is exactly when the house stands empty, and a system works unattended — no one has to be there, and nothing has to be switched on. Owners get the quote from satellite imagery and schedule the install on a trip that suits them.
Price depends on roof size and complexity, the number of buildings, and grounding conditions. Multi-building packages price the 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.
That’s our specialty. Multi-building packages cover the main house, barns, pole barns, shops, and outbuildings 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.
Yes — Lake Harmony, Jim Thorpe, Blakeslee, Pocono Pines, Albrightsville, and the lake communities are regular routes for our crews, and we serve all of Pennsylvania statewide. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery so distance never slows down getting your estimate.
