We had never planned on having lightening rods installed in our home. We had gone out on an errand and when we came home, William and crew were installing rods on our neighbor's home across the street and William came over and talked to us about installing lightening rods. He didn't give a "sales pitch," just gave us the price including weathervane and we agreed. They were friendly, they were neat, efficient, thoughtful and conscientious. Because of our experience with this company, we would definitely recommend them.

The job was done efficiently with all the workers taking time to answer my questions and explain the process of installation. The owner was on site and an expert in installation and application of code. My home has been struck by lightning and I am immensely relieved To have this system installed.

William was a pleasure to work with and his crew as well, no mess was left behind... Also William didn't try to oversell the project, because there were options. He took the care to make sure the system was properly installed as we had an "extra" peak on the back of the house due to the second floor balcony we have. I hadn't really thought about this protection before, but we get some pretty crazy lightening shows in the summer in Delaware! One less thing to worry about!

William and his crew were a pleasure to work with. They were able to work us into their schedule promptly. They put lightning protection systems on my home and barn. I am really happy with their work. Their system really looked great and added a lot to both buildings. I would recommend them to anyone.

William was very informative and explained to me the various systems for lighting protection that helped ease some of my concerns about lightning and hazards. He also gave me a very fair price compared to other expensive quotes I received. I would highly recommend WB Lightning Rods if you are planning to install lightning protection equipment for your home.

William , the owner contacted me soon after I left a message on his phone. He was very prompt in getting me a quote for lightning rods that same day and happened to be in the area locally. We scheduled for him to install two days later. We were very happy with their work, meticulous and detailed. We canâ t notice any rods from the front of the house and they do their best to hide the cable so you canâ t see it. Our house got hit by lightning a year ago and it is not something I want to go thru again with the rebuilding of our house. We have a peace of mind that our house has protection now. William was very reasonable as far as cost compared to the other quotes that we got from other companies. We are so happy we found a great company that is honest and does good work. His company comes back every five years to check that the rods and cables are in good working order!
