Ohio’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
Powell and Dublin homes stand tall along the Scioto River corridor — two-story rooflines, steep pitches, and mature trees on big lots in golf-course communities and established neighborhoods. Summer storm lines rolling across Delaware and Franklin counties find those rooftops first. We protect the whole home.
Delaware County has been one of Ohio's fastest-growing areas for decades, and Powell and Dublin are full of large, tall homes: two and three stories, steep rooflines, and chimneys that stand well above the surrounding lots. Add the mature trees along the Scioto and its ravines, and many homes carry the exact profile lightning seeks — the tallest object in the immediate area.
WB Lightning Rods designs complete systems for Powell and Dublin homes — terminals along every ridge, peak, and chimney, conductors routed discreetly to match the roofline, and deep-driven grounding at every down conductor. Detached garages, pool houses, and outbuildings are protected with the house, and every job is installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner.
Steep pitches and tall chimneys make many Powell and Dublin homes the highest point on the street. Height plus exposure is exactly what a protection system is designed for.
A strike to a tall tree beside the house can side-flash into the roof or travel roots toward the foundation. We protect specimen trees themselves and factor them into every design.
Neighbors who install together save together. Multi-home packages bring the per-home cost down across a street or a whole subdivision section.
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 still rising across Powell, Dublin, and southern Delaware 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 subdivision.
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 Powell & Dublin specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along ridges, peaks, dormers, and chimneys — the high points lightning seeks first on Powell and Dublin homes.
Copper or aluminum cables routed discreetly along rooflines and down walls, carrying strikes down and away from the structure.
Deep-driven ground rods at every down conductor, sited clear of walks, patios, and buried lines, and bonded together.
Metal roofing, gutters, water lines, and electrical systems bonded into the system to prevent dangerous side-flashes.
Detached garages, pool houses, and sheds incorporated into the home plan — no building left exposed.
From the golf-course neighborhoods of Dublin to the village streets of Old Powell and the subdivisions between, the pattern repeats street after street: tall, well-built homes standing close enough together that one crew trip can protect several. Our neighborhood multi-home packages are built for exactly that — neighbors scheduling together, each home fully protected, at a lower per-home cost.
Every home gets the same treatment regardless of the package: a design fitted to its own roofline, installed by our crew, supervised by the owner. And because WB serves all of Ohio statewide, a Powell home and a second property anywhere in the state are one call, one company.
Many quotes are built from satellite imagery of your home — fast, accurate, and no obligation. Call 1-800-557-9037.
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 Ohio storms the calm way.
Yes. Lightning preferentially strikes the tallest object in an area, and a tall two-story home with steep rooflines and chimneys is often that object. That's precisely the profile a protection system is designed for.
Very little. Low-profile terminals follow the ridgeline, and conductors route along corners and architectural lines. Most neighbors never notice a system is there.
Yes — neighbors who install together save together. Multi-home packages for a street or subdivision section bring the per-home cost down, and each home still gets its own complete design.
Yes. Mature trees close to the house are a strike path of their own — we protect specimen trees with their own terminals and grounding, and we always factor nearby trees into the home's design.
During construction is ideal: terminals, conductors, and grounding integrate cleanly as the house rises. If the home is finished, we retrofit systems every week — call for a free estimate either way.
Price depends on roof size and complexity, the number of buildings, and grounding conditions. Estimates are free — many are built from satellite imagery of your property — and every system carries a lifetime warranty on parts and labor with a 5-year maintenance check at no cost.
