Pennsylvania’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
Westmoreland County runs from the custom-home suburbs east of Pittsburgh — Murrysville, North Huntingdon, Hempfield — through farm country around Greensburg, Mount Pleasant, and Scottdale, up to the Laurel Highlands edge at Latrobe. It’s also gas country. Farms, hilltop homes, and shops all stand exposed to the same summer storms. We protect the whole property under one plan, every building covered.
Westmoreland is a county of ridges, and everything built here sits on one. In the west, custom homes across Murrysville, Export, Delmont, and North Huntingdon stand on cleared hilltop lots, the tallest houses on their streets. Through the middle, Greensburg, Latrobe, Jeannette, and Irwin add historic homes, church steeples, and older rooftops by the thousand. In the south and east, dairy and crop farms around Mount Pleasant, Scottdale, and New Kensington spread barns, silos, and pole buildings across open ridge ground — and the county’s gas development has added shops and equipment buildings on the same high ground. Our Ligonier page covers the valley itself in detail; this page is the county whole, from the suburbs to the Highlands edge.
WB Lightning Rods protects Westmoreland 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 custom home and its garage and pool house, the farmhouse and its barns, all in the same design, with low-profile terminals and clean cable runs that respect historic architecture. 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.
Murrysville and North Huntingdon homes stand on open, high lots above the tree line around them. Height is the exposure — and it’s designed into every plan we build there.
Westmoreland’s farms hold herds, feed, and crops in barns that stand alone on ridge ground. A strike to a barn roof, far from help, is the worst case protection is built for.
Shops and equipment buildings on cleared ridge tops are tall metal structures in open country — built of the material lightning finds first.
One company for the whole property — farms, custom homes, historic homes, and shops, anywhere in Westmoreland 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 around brick, stone, slate, and standing-seam metal roofs on Westmoreland County custom and historic homes — 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, farmhouse, barns, shops, garages, pool 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 Westmoreland 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 county’s ridge and valley soils 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.
Barns, pole buildings, shops, garages, pool houses, and silos incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A Westmoreland County property is rarely one building. Our packages price the whole property as one design — house, barns, pole buildings, shops, and garages, all protected — which costs less than protecting buildings one at a time and leaves no gap between them. Well pumps, pool equipment, and barn lighting all ride the same electrical service, and the design accounts for every one of them.
Neighbors on 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 Greensburg farm and a Murrysville home are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so the process can start with one call.
Real WB installations — rods fitted to a stone home’s slate roof, and the barns and stables our crew protects across farm country.
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.
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 custom and historic homes, visitors never notice the system until it’s pointed out.
That’s our specialty. Multi-building farm packages cover the farmhouse, barns, pole buildings, shops, and silos under one plan, priced together so protecting everything costs less than protecting buildings one at a time.
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.
Same company, same systems. The Ligonier page goes deep on the valley and the Highlands; this page covers the rest of Westmoreland County — Greensburg, the western suburbs, and the farm country — town by town.
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.
