Georgia’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
North Fulton is metro Atlanta’s equestrian heart: horse farms along the Birmingham Highway corridor, polo and hunter barns around Crabapple, and custom homes on big wooded lots from Milton into Alpharetta. The Atlanta Metro page covers the whole metro — this page is its horse country. Summer thunderstorms fire over the Piedmont almost daily, and barns and arenas standing in open pasture are the tallest targets for miles. And WB does not protect the barns alone: we protect houses and outbuildings and pole barns as well, so the residence, the stable, and every working building on the farm are covered by one plan.
Milton kept its farms when the suburbs arrived. Along Birmingham Highway, Hopewell Road, and the Crabapple crossroads, fenced pastures, barns, indoor arenas, and run-in sheds sit beside custom homes on five- and ten-acre lots, all of it under tall pines and hardwoods at the pasture edges. The exposure is doubled: rooftops up into the trees in Alpharetta’s neighborhoods, and wide-open barn roofs in Milton’s fields. A strike can tear a chimney apart, ignite hay and bedding in a barn, or send destructive current through every circuit on the property.
WB Lightning Rods protects North Fulton horse country the way we’ve protected Georgia farms and homes since 1950: low-profile systems designed around each roofline, heavy conductor cables routed cleanly along ridges and downspout lines, and whole-property plans that bring the house, the barns, and the arena in together. Every system is installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner, and WB serves all of Georgia statewide.
Milton’s barns, arenas, and run-in sheds are the tallest structures on their ground, holding horses, hay, feed, and tack. A barn fire is the worst-case loss on any horse farm — protection is built to keep a strike from ever becoming one.
The Birmingham Highway corridor’s polo and hunter farms work horses outdoors through the heart of storm season. Fences, arena lighting, and barn wiring all ride the same service — the design accounts for every one of them.
Alpharetta and Crabapple custom homes put big, complex rooflines up into the pines on cleared lots. A tree struck beside the house can side-flash into the roof, so tree protection and roof protection belong in the same design.
One company for the whole property — custom homes, horse farms, barns, arenas, agricultural buildings, and shops, anywhere in Milton, Alpharetta, 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 each roofline — custom homes in Alpharetta, Crabapple, and Milton, with clean runs along rooflines and downspout lines that respect the architecture.
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, arenas, outbuildings, pole barns, 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 North Fulton horse country specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, barn ridgelines, and arena roofs — the high points lightning seeks first on Milton and Alpharetta 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, guest houses, equipment shops, and garages incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A North Fulton horse property is rarely one building. Our multi-building farm packages price the whole property as one design — main house, barns, arena, pole barns, outbuildings, and shops, all protected — which costs less than protecting buildings one at a time and leaves no gap between them. Put plainly, we cover the houses, the outbuildings, and the pole barns alongside the horse barns, not the barns alone. 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 along the same road who install together earn neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages, and because WB serves all of Georgia statewide, a Milton farm 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.

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 Milton and Alpharetta 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, barn lighting, 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, not just the horse barns. Every structure is designed into one plan: main house, barns, arenas, pole barns, and shops, each with its own terminals, conductors, and grounding, priced together as a property package.
Yes. When several homes and farms on the same 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 road, and it only takes one organizer to get it started.
A tall pine close to a building 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.
