New Hampshire’s #1 Lightning Protection Contractor
From Portsmouth and the Seacoast through Manchester and the Merrimack valley, from the Lake Winnipesaukee shore to Concord’s farm country, the White Mountains, and the Upper Valley, WB Lightning Rods protects New Hampshire properties statewide — the way we’ve protected farms and fine homes since 1950.
New Hampshire packs every kind of exposure into one small state. Summer thunderstorms fire off the Atlantic onto the Seacoast, build over Lake Winnipesaukee and the central hills, and break hard against the White Mountains — and they find the same targets everywhere: shore homes on open points, lake houses and camps on exposed points, historic homes in Portsmouth and the river towns, and barns standing alone in valley fields. Tall pines and hardwoods tower over roofs in nearly every New Hampshire town, and a strike to a chimney, a ridgeline, or the tree beside the house can tear masonry, ignite framing, and send destructive current through every circuit in the building.
WB Lightning Rods works all over New Hampshire — the Seacoast, the southern tier, the Lakes Region, the Concord area, the White Mountains, and the Upper Valley. We protect the whole property: the house, the barns, the shops, and the trees that shade them, every building designed into the plan. Every system is installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner, and many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so getting protected starts with one call.
Thunderstorms that build over the Atlantic arrive over Seacoast roofs with no land to weaken them. On an open shore lot, your roofline is the tallest point around.
Winnipesaukee and Squam shore homes stand on open points with water on three sides, and many sit empty outside the season. A properly grounded system works whether you’re there or not.
From White Mountain ridge-top homes to Upper Valley dairy farms, New Hampshire buildings stand where storms break first — the tallest structures for a mile in every direction.
One company for the whole property — homes, farms, barns, trees, and every building in between, anywhere in New Hampshire.
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 and coastal living — historic Portsmouth homes, Seacoast shore homes, and lake homes across the Lakes Region.
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, shops, guest houses, and outbuildings — 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 New Hampshire specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, barn ridgelines, and silos — the high points lightning seeks first on New Hampshire 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 local soils — from shore sand to valley clay — and where granite ledge sits near the surface, grounding is engineered for the ledge so strike energy still 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.
Barns, pole barns, equipment shops, guest houses, and silos incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
WB’s New Hampshire work follows the state’s own geography. On the coast it’s Portsmouth, Hampton, and the Seacoast towns. Across the south it’s Manchester, Nashua, and the Merrimack valley suburbs and farms. In the middle it’s Concord and the central farm country and the Lake Winnipesaukee and Squam shores. Up north it’s the White Mountains, and along the western river it’s Hanover and the Upper Valley.
Wherever your property sits, the approach is the same: the whole property protected under one plan, priced together so multiple buildings cost less per building, and installed by our own crew under the owner’s personal supervision. A dairy barn in the Upper Valley and a lake house on Winnipesaukee are one call, one company.
Six regions, one crew, one standard of work — pick your part of the state.
Portsmouth, Exeter, Hampton, and Rye — historic homes and shore properties on New Hampshire’s short, dense coastline, where storms come off the Atlantic at full strength.
Manchester, Nashua, Bedford, and Derry — established neighborhoods under tall pines along the Merrimack valley, plus the farms that remain between the suburbs.
Wolfeboro, Meredith, and Gilford on Lake Winnipesaukee, and Squam Lake beyond — lake homes and camps on open water, many of them seasonal.
Concord, Canterbury, and Hopkinton — historic homes in the capital area and dairy and horse farms across the central hills.
North Conway, Jackson, and Lincoln — mountain homes, second homes, and inns on high ground under the Presidential Range.
Hanover, Lebanon, and Lyme along the Connecticut River — valley farms, village homes, and hilltop properties on the river’s New Hampshire side.
Real WB installations by our own crew — estate homes, dairy barns, horse farms, and pole barns.
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 New Hampshire storms the calm way.
Every part of the system works together — rods on the roof, low-profile cables, and deep-driven grounds carry a strike safely into the earth.
Yes — WB serves all of New Hampshire, statewide. Our crews run the Seacoast, the southern tier, the Lakes Region, the Concord area, the White Mountains, and the Upper Valley on regular routes, and many quotes are built from satellite imagery so distance never slows down getting your estimate.
Price depends on roof size and complexity, the number of buildings, and grounding conditions. Farm and estate 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.
Yes. When several homes on the same street, road, or shore 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.
That’s our specialty. Multi-building packages for farms cover the farmhouse, dairy or horse barns, pole barns, shops, and silos under one plan — we protect all of your buildings, with a lifetime of protection, and pricing the property together costs less than protecting buildings one at a time.
Yes. A strike to a nearby tree, fence line, or the ground itself — or one that hits utility lines down the road — can send a damaging surge through wiring, well pumps, and electronics. That’s why grounding and bonding matter as much as the rods 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 a house or barn 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.
