Ohio’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
Granville pairs a historic New England-style village with Licking County horse country — older homes under mature trees in town, barns and arenas on the farm roads beyond. Both stand tall when storms cross the county. We protect the whole property.
In the village, Granville's older homes — brick and frame houses from the 1800s and early 1900s — sit under a mature canopy with tall chimneys as the high points on their streets. A few minutes out of town, the county turns to horse farms: barns, indoor arenas, and farmhouses standing on open ground. Two different settings, the same lightning exposure, all through Ohio's storm season.
WB Lightning Rods protects Granville homes and horse properties with complete systems fitted to each structure — discreet, low-profile designs for historic village homes, and whole-property protection for farms covering the residence, barns, and arenas. Grounding on horse properties is designed around pastures, lanes, and waterers, and every installation is done by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner.
Village architecture deserves protection that doesn't announce itself — low-profile terminals and conductors routed along the lines the house already has.
On a horse farm, the barn concentrates horses, hay, feed, and tack under one tall roof. A single strike can end an operation in minutes — protection costs a fraction of that risk.
Current from a nearby strike spreads through wet ground, fencing, and water lines and can reach horses in pastures and paddocks. Grounding design around livestock areas matters.
One company for the whole property — homes, farms, barns, trees, and every building in between, anywhere in Ohio.
Complete lightning rod systems for houses of every size, designed around your roofline — the work WB has done since 1950.
Protection designed in while the house goes up — new homes and barns rising around Granville and Licking County, protected from day one.
Discreet, low-profile systems for Ohio's older farmhouses and historic homes — 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.
Multi-building packages for farms — we protect all of your buildings — house, barns, shops, and sheds — with a lifetime of protection.
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 or township road.
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 — and designed for Granville specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, barn ridges, and arena peaks — the high points lightning seeks first on Granville properties.
Copper or aluminum cables routed discreetly along rooflines and building lines, carrying strikes down and away from the structures.
Deep-driven ground rods at every down conductor, sited with care around pastures, paddocks, and waterers on horse properties, and bonded together.
Metal roofing, water lines, fencing near structures, and electrical systems bonded into the system to prevent dangerous side-flashes.
Barns, arenas, garages, and guest houses incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
From the village streets off Broadway to the horse farms along the township roads, the Granville pattern is a main house plus more — a barn, an arena, a garage, tall trees. Our whole-property packages price and protect all of it as one design, every building covered and grounding laid out around the livestock areas.
Village neighbors who install together qualify for neighborhood multi-home packages, and farm packages price multiple buildings together. And because WB serves all of Ohio statewide, a Granville property and a second home anywhere in the state are one call, one company.

Very little. Low-profile terminals follow the ridgeline, and conductors route along corners and mortar lines. Many of the homes we protect in Granville are historic, and discreet design is a goal on every one.
Yes — barns, stables, and arenas are core work for us, along with the residence. Horses, hay, feed, and tack under one tall roof get the same protection as the house.
Yes — ground current is the usual mechanism. A strike to a tree, fence, or open ground sends current through wet soil, and horses in that path can be killed without any structure being touched. Protecting buildings and designing grounding around paddocks and waterers reduces the risk substantially.
A tall tree close to the house can side-flash a strike into the roof or send current through roots toward the foundation. We protect specimen trees with their own terminals and grounding, and factor nearby trees into every design.
No — a metal roof doesn't safely ground a strike. Bonded into a proper system with terminals, conductors, and grounding, the whole structure is covered.
It depends on roof size and complexity, the number of buildings, and grounding conditions. Whole-property and multi-home packages price buildings together, which brings the per-building cost down. Estimates are free — many start from satellite imagery — and every system carries a lifetime warranty on parts and labor with a 5-year maintenance check at no cost.
