Georgia’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
Madison is Morgan County’s antebellum town on Georgia’s Antebellum Trail — a main street of historic homes with tall chimneys and columned porches, and working farms and horse properties on the roads running out toward Lake Oconee, Social Circle, and Rutledge, between Atlanta and Augusta. Summer storms roll across this open Piedmont country at full strength. WB protects the whole property: we protect houses and outbuildings and pole barns as well as the barns — one plan for the historic home, the farm buildings, and everything between them.
Madison holds some of the best-preserved antebellum architecture in the South — homes that stood through the Civil War era, built of old-growth timber with masonry chimneys that rise above every roofline in the historic district. Around town, Morgan County farms work cattle, hay, and horses on rolling open ground, with barns and equipment sheds standing tall in the fields. A strike to a chimney can tear historic masonry apart, ignite framing that can’t be replaced, or send destructive current through every circuit in the house or barn.
WB Lightning Rods protects Madison properties the way we’ve protected Georgia homes and farms since 1950: discreet, low-profile systems designed around the architecture — terminals and cable runs you have to look for to see on a historic home — and whole-property plans that bring the farm buildings in with the house. Every system is installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner, and WB serves all of Georgia statewide.
Madison’s historic homes carry old-growth timber, hand-made brick, and detail no modern build reproduces. A discreet, properly grounded system protects the fabric of the house without changing how it looks.
Morgan County barns, hay sheds, and equipment buildings are the tallest structures on their ground, holding livestock, feed, and machinery. A barn fire is the worst-case loss protection is built to prevent.
Madison’s oaks shade the historic district and the farm lanes alike. A tree struck beside a house can side-flash into the roof, so trees and rooftops belong in the same design.
One company for the whole property — historic homes, custom homes, working farms, barns, agricultural buildings, and shops, anywhere in Madison and Morgan County.
Complete lightning rod systems for houses of every size, designed around your roofline — the work WB has done since 1950.
Discreet, low-profile systems for Madison’s antebellum and historic homes and Morgan County custom homes — clean runs that respect the architecture, chimneys, and rooflines.
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, barns, outbuildings, pole barns, shops, and guest houses — 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 Madison and Morgan County specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, and barn ridgelines — the high points lightning seeks first on Madison 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.
Outbuildings, pole barns, equipment shops, hay sheds, and garages incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A Morgan County property is often more than the house. Our multi-building packages price the whole property as one design — main house, guest house, barns, pole barns, outbuildings, and shops, all protected — which costs less than protecting buildings one at a time and leaves no gap between them. On a farm that means the houses, the outbuildings, and the pole barns are protected right along with the horse and cattle barns. Well pumps, pool equipment, and barn lighting all ride the same electrical service, and the design accounts for every one of them.
The same thinking applies street by street. Neighbors in the historic district or along the same farm road who install together earn neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages, and because WB serves all of Georgia statewide, a Madison home and a second property at Lake Oconee are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so the process can start with one call.
Real WB installations — barns, farm buildings, and homes protected by our own crew.

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 Madison historic homes, visitors never notice the system until it’s pointed out — but it is working every storm.
Yes. A strike to a nearby oak, 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 — and we recommend it. WB protects the houses, the outbuildings, and the pole barns on the property as well as the barns. Every structure is designed into one plan, each with its own terminals, conductors, and grounding, priced together as a property package.
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.
A tall oak 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 property design.
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.
