New Hampshire’s #1 Lightning Protection Contractor
The White Mountains stack their buildings against the Presidential Range: North Conway and Jackson in the eastern valleys, Lincoln and Franconia in the west, and homes, inns, and second homes scattered up the slopes and ridges between them. Summer storms build over the peaks and break across the high ground first — and a ridge-top or mountainside home is exactly what they find. We protect the whole property: main house, barns, shops, and garages, every building covered.
From North Conway, Conway, and Jackson through Bartlett and the Mount Washington Valley to Lincoln, Plymouth, and Littleton, White Mountain properties sit on the highest, most exposed ground in the state. Storms form over the range and strike the ridges and upper slopes first; valley homes sit under tall spruce and pine; and many mountain properties are second homes that stand empty for stretches of the year. A strike to a chimney or ridgeline can tear masonry, ignite framing, and send destructive current through every circuit in the house — with nobody there to see it start.
WB Lightning Rods protects White Mountain properties the way we’ve protected fine homes since 1950: low-profile systems designed around the building, heavy conductor cables routed cleanly along rooflines and downspout lines, and grounding engineered for mountain soils and granite ledge. The whole property is designed into the plan — main house, barns, shops, and garages. Every system is installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner.
Storms build over the Presidential Range and break across the ridges and upper slopes first. On rising ground, your roofline is the highest point for a long way in every direction.
Many mountain homes stand empty between visits and seasons. A properly grounded system works whether you’re there or not — and many quotes start from satellite imagery, so the process never needs you on site.
White Mountain ledge sits close to the surface on slope after slope. We engineer the ground system for the site — rods driven where soil allows, supplemented where it doesn’t — and verify it as part of the installation.
One company for the whole property — mountain homes, second homes, inns, farmhouses, barns, and shops, anywhere in the White Mountains.
Complete lightning rod systems for houses of every size, designed around your roofline — the work WB has done since 1950.
Low-profile systems for White Mountain custom and second homes — clean runs along rooflines and downspout lines that respect the building and the setting.
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, garages, 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 the White Mountains specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, barn ridgelines, and silos — the high points lightning seeks first on White Mountain 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 mountain soils — gravel, till, and granite ledge included, with grounding engineered where ledge sits near the surface — 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.
Barns, pole barns, equipment shops, guest houses, and garages incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A mountain property is often more than the house. Our multi-building packages price the whole property as one design — main house, barns, shops, garages, and guest houses, all protected — which costs less than protecting buildings one at a time and leaves no gap between them. Well pumps, heating systems, and shop power all ride the same electrical service, and the design accounts for every one of them.
The same thinking applies road by road. Neighbors on the same mountain road who install together earn neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages, and because WB serves all of New Hampshire statewide, a North Conway home and a Seacoast home are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so the process can start with one call.

Lifetime warranty on parts and labor, with a 5-year maintenance check at no cost. Then you watch New Hampshire storms the calm way.
Yes. Storms build over the range and break across the high ground first, and on rising ground your roofline is the highest point around. A system designed for the roofline gives strike energy a direct, controlled path to earth instead.
Yes — and mountain homes are exactly where protection matters most, because nobody is there to smell smoke or cut power when a storm crosses the ridge. A properly grounded system works whether you’re there or not, and many quotes start from satellite imagery so the process doesn’t need you on site.
Yes. A strike to a nearby tree, a ledge outcrop, or utility lines down the road can send a damaging surge through wiring, well pumps, heating systems, 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.
Ledge needs engineered grounding, not less protection — rods are driven where the soil allows and the ground system is supplemented and sized for the site’s resistance, then verified as part of the installation. WB designs every White Mountain system for its property’s actual conditions.
Yes. When several homes on the same mountain 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 only takes one organizer to get it started.
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.
