Pennsylvania’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
Wyoming County is the southern doorstep of the Endless Mountains — dairy farms on the ridges around Tunkhannock, Meshoppen, and Nicholson, lake homes at Lake Carey and Lake Winola, and gas-country shops and outbuildings across the hills. One of Pennsylvania’s top gas-producing counties is also some of its most exposed farm ground. We protect the whole property under one plan: farmhouse, barns, pole buildings, and silos, every building covered.
Wyoming County packs a lot of exposure into a small county. Dairy farms work the ridge country from Tunkhannock and Mehoopany through Forkston and Eaton, their barns and silos standing alone on high, open ground. Along the Susquehanna, Meshoppen and Laceyville line farms and homes along the river, open to storms that ride the valley. Factoryville and Nicholson anchor the eastern side under the big railroad country ridges, and Lake Carey and Lake Winola put lake homes shoulder to shoulder along their shores — often second homes, often empty midweek. On top of it all, Wyoming County is one of the top gas-producing counties in the state, and its pads, shops, and equipment buildings sit on cleared ridge tops in the same open ground.
WB Lightning Rods protects Wyoming County farms the way we’ve protected farms since 1950 — whole-farm packages that design the farmhouse, dairy barn, pole buildings, shops, and silos into one plan, priced together, on the same Endless Mountains routes we run through the northern shale country. 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 — many ridge farms around Tunkhannock and Nicholson carry rods that went up generations ago. We make old systems great again.
Wyoming County is among Pennsylvania’s biggest gas producers. Pads, shops, and equipment buildings sit on cleared ridge tops — tall metal structures in the most open ground in the county.
The county’s dairy farms hold herds, feed, and hay in timber barns standing alone on ridge ground. Distance to the nearest fire hall makes a strike-started barn fire a worst case.
Lakefront homes stand open to storms crossing the water, often the tallest structure on the shore — and often empty between weekends.
One company for the whole property — dairy farms, lake homes, custom homes, farmhouses, and shops, anywhere in Wyoming 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 lake homes of Lake Carey and Lake Winola, the country homes of the Endless Mountains foothills, and the custom homes going up in the hills around Tunkhannock — 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 — farmhouse, dairy barns, shops, garages, boathouses, silos, 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 Wyoming County specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along farmhouse chimneys, barn ridgelines, silos, shop roofs, and the peaks of lake 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, riverbank 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, equipment shops, garages, boathouses, and silos incorporated into the farm plan — no building left exposed.
A Wyoming County farm is rarely one building, and it should not be protected one building at a time. Our multi-building farm packages price the whole property as one design — farmhouse, dairy barn, pole buildings, shops, and silos, all protected — which costs less per building and leaves no gap between structures. Milking equipment, well pumps, 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 lake shore who install together share one trip and one setup, and because WB serves all of Pennsylvania statewide, a farm outside Tunkhannock and a lake home at Lake Winola are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so a farm at the end of a long hill road is never a slow estimate.
Real WB installations — barns and farm buildings protected by our own crew in open farm country.

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.
A dairy barn holds the herd, the feed, the milking equipment, and a season of hay in one timber-framed building — and it stands alone on open ridge ground as the tallest structure around. Add the distance to the nearest fire hall, and a single strike is a worst case. Protection is built for exactly that.
They stand on cleared ridge tops — the highest, most open ground around — and they’re metal buildings holding machinery and electrical gear. Shops and pole buildings are part of the property plan we design, grounded like every other structure.
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 homes on both lakes, main house and garage or boathouse together — protection that’s working even when the house sits empty.
Yes. A strike to a nearby tree, a fence line, or utility lines down the road can send a damaging surge through wiring, milking equipment, 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.
Maybe — but many older systems have broken cables, corroded connections, or grounding that no longer does its job. We inspect what’s there, 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. Farm packages price multiple buildings 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.
