Georgia’s #1 Lightning Protection Contractor
Atlanta is a city in a forest, and its finest homes stand in the middle of it: Buckhead and Sandy Springs estates under towering oaks and pines, custom homes in Alpharetta and Johns Creek, and Milton’s horse farms where barns and arenas spread across open pasture. Summer thunderstorms fire over the metro almost daily, and the tallest tree and the tallest chimney on every lot are where they land. We protect the whole property: main house, guest house, barns, and shops, every building covered.
From Buckhead, Brookhaven, and Decatur through Sandy Springs and Dunwoody to Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and Milton, metro Atlanta mixes big homes under a famous tree canopy with true horse country at the northern edge. The exposure is doubled: mature oaks and pines tower over rooftops in town — and falling limbs aren’t the only risk they carry, since a struck tree beside a house can side-flash straight into the roof — while Milton’s barns and arenas stand alone in open fields. Storms build over the Piedmont and roll through the metro at full strength all summer, and a strike to a chimney can tear masonry, ignite framing, and send destructive current through every circuit in the house.
WB Lightning Rods protects Atlanta-area properties the way we’ve protected fine homes since 1950: low-profile systems designed around the architecture, heavy conductor cables routed cleanly along rooflines and downspout lines, tree protection for the canopy trees that matter, and whole-property designs that cover the barns and arenas out in Milton too. Every system is installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner.
Atlanta’s tall pines and oaks stand directly over the homes they shade. A tree strike beside a house can side-flash into the roof or travel the roots to the foundation — tree protection and roof protection belong in the same design.
At the metro’s north edge, barns, arenas, and run-in sheds stand in open pasture — the tallest structures for a mile, holding horses, hay, and tack.
New construction in Alpharetta and Johns Creek puts big, complex rooflines up into the canopy on cleared lots. A system designed in from the start protects the house from day one.
One company for the whole property — canopy homes, custom homes, horse farms, and barns, anywhere in metro Atlanta and North Fulton.
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 under the canopy — Buckhead and Sandy Springs estates, Alpharetta and Johns Creek custom homes, 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, guest house, barns, arenas, and shops — 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 metro Atlanta specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, barn ridgelines, and dormers — the high points lightning seeks first on Atlanta 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 Piedmont red clay, 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.
Guest houses, pool houses, barns, arenas, equipment shops, and garages incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
An Atlanta-area property is often more than the house. Our multi-building packages price the whole property as one design — main house, guest house, pool house, barns, arenas, and shops, all protected — which costs less than protecting buildings one at a time and leaves no gap between them. Well pumps, pool equipment, gate operators, and arena lighting all ride the same electrical service, and the design accounts for every one of them.
The same thinking applies street by street. Neighbors on the same road who install together earn neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages, and because WB serves all of Georgia statewide, an Atlanta home and a second property at the lake or the coast are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so the process can start with one call.
Real WB installations on estate properties — rods fitted to rooflines and chimneys with a low-profile finish that respects the architecture.

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 Georgia 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 Atlanta homes, visitors never notice the system until it’s pointed out — but it is working every storm.
Yes. A strike to a nearby tree, a fence, 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.
Yes. A tall tree close to the house 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. When several homes on the same street or road install in the same trip, everyone shares the travel and setup — and we pass that saving on as a neighborhood discount on multi-home packages. It’s the most affordable way to protect a whole street, and it only takes one organizer to get it started.
Yes — and we recommend it. Every structure on the property is designed into one plan: main house, guest house, barns, arenas, and shops, each with its own terminals, conductors, and grounding, priced together as a property package.
Price depends on roof size and complexity, the number of buildings, and grounding conditions. Property 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.
