New Jersey’s #1 Lightning Protection Contractor
From Far Hills horse farms and Short Hills estates to Rumson’s shore mansions and Salem County dairy barns, WB Lightning Rods protects New Jersey properties statewide — the way we’ve protected farms and fine homes since 1950.
New Jersey packs every kind of lightning exposure into one small state. Summer storm lines roll across the Piedmont and break over the Watchung ridges, sea-breeze fronts fire thunderstorms along the shore all afternoon, and the open country of Hunterdon, Somerset, and Salem counties gives cells a clear run at the tallest structures around: estate chimneys above the tree canopy, horse barns and arenas standing in open fields, and shore homes facing weather straight off the Atlantic. A strike to a chimney or ridgeline can tear masonry, ignite framing, and send destructive current through every circuit in the house.
WB Lightning Rods works all over New Jersey — Somerset and Hunterdon horse country, Morris and Essex, Bergen County, Princeton and the central corridor, Monmouth County and the shore, and South Jersey from Moorestown to Cape May. 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.
New Jersey is one of the great horse states in America, and a horse barn holds animals, hay, and tack worth far more than the building. Timber framing and hay storage make a barn strike a worst case — and big barns and arenas are usually the tallest structures on the farm.
From Short Hills to Saddle River and Rumson, New Jersey’s estate homes carry tall chimneys, cupolas, and long rooflines above mature trees. A low-profile system protects the architecture without changing how the house looks.
Shore homes from Mantoloking to Cape May face thunderstorms that build over open water and come ashore at full strength, with nothing between the house and the sky.
One company for the whole property — homes, farms, barns, trees, and every building in between, anywhere in New Jersey.
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, slate, tile, and metal roofs — from Short Hills and Saddle River to Rumson and Princeton.
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 part of the system works together — rods on the roof, low-profile cables, and deep-driven grounds carry a strike safely into the earth.
Every WB system is built to NFPA 780 guidelines using UL-listed materials made in the USA — and designed for New Jersey specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, barn ridgelines, and silos — the high points lightning seeks first on New Jersey 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 Piedmont clay to the sandy soils of the shore and the Pinelands edge — 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 silos incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
WB’s New Jersey work follows the state’s own geography. In the north it’s the estate country — Somerset and Hunterdon’s horse farms, the Morris and Essex suburbs, Bergen County’s wooded lanes. Across the middle it’s Princeton, the Hopewell Valley, and Monmouth County’s farms and shore towns. Down south it’s the Delaware River suburbs, Salem County’s dairy country, and the shore from Little Egg Harbor to Cape May.
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 horse farm in Far Hills and a shore house in Mantoloking are one call, one company.
Six regions, one crew, one standard of work — pick your part of the state.
Far Hills, Bedminster, Bernardsville, and Tewksbury — New Jersey’s premier horse country, where estates, barns, and indoor arenas spread across open rolling ground.
Short Hills, Millburn, Summit, Chatham, Madison, and Mendham — custom and historic homes under some of the tallest tree canopy in the state.
Alpine, Saddle River, Franklin Lakes, and Ridgewood — estate homes on the Palisades and across Bergen’s wooded suburbs.
Princeton, Hopewell, Pennington, and Skillman — historic estates, gentleman farms, and custom homes in the Sourland and Hopewell Valley country.
Rumson, Colts Neck, and Holmdel estates and horse farms, plus shore homes from Spring Lake and Deal to Mantoloking and Long Beach Island — coastal exposure, ocean storms.
Moorestown, Haddonfield, Medford, and Mullica Hill estates, Salem County dairy farms, and shore homes from Little Egg Harbor to Cape May.
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 Jersey storms the calm way.
Yes — WB serves all of New Jersey, statewide. Our crews run the northern estate country, Princeton and the central corridor, Monmouth and the shore, and South Jersey 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 or 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 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.
