Called me within seconds of first inquiry. Set appointment for consultation for the same day even though the business location is somewhat far away. Set installation date for the following day - showed up on time and texted ahead. Excellent equipment, great work crew, completed job on time at a fair price. This was high and steep work and the job was very Professional.

First rate experience with WB Lightning Protection. Not only was the crew professional and experienced, they were a delight to work with. Their explanations of service, extent of protection, and value were top notch. Having been a home owner for over 50 years, I can comfortably say, this was one of the finest "homeowner" experiences I have ever had.

William Burden and son Ned are true professionals. They are 3rd and 4th generation lightning rod installers. Clearly the previous generations taught them well and they are carrying on the tradition of excellence. I use impressed with their professional demeanor and honesty. Without any reservations, I can recommend them if you want a professional lightning rod installation at a reasonable price. It was a pleasure meeting William and Ned.

I was called by Mr Burden we played phone tag for over a week but he did not give up on me. Mr Burden was able to fit us in while the company was up in our area. Mr. Burden and another employee were able to complete the job that day, he answered all of my questions and gave us information for future questions.

William was on time really nice person, added more material than other people had mentioned. Did the work for a reasonable cost, which was the best price I received. The job is really tight on the house and adds good looks to the house. Weather vain was added with no cost to me. Great Job. Thanks William

I found WBLR on Home Advisor. Within 30 minutes of making an inquiry, WBLR called. He was working in the area and stopped about an hour after the call to provide an estimate. This was a Saturday and installation was on Monday. Having worked for an electric utility, we found Mr. Burden to be very knowledgeable and professional. He has an A+ BBB rating and reviews are good there as well as with HomeAdvisor. Installation was done efficiently and has a nice appearance. The installation took more material than quoted and WBLR charged only what was quoted.
