Tennessee’s #1 Lightning Protection Contractor
West Tennessee is the state’s storm front porch: big systems roll off the Mississippi River plain and cross some of the flattest, most open ground in the state at full strength. Memphis, Germantown, and Collierville homes stand under tall oaks on level lots, and the farm country beyond Jackson is a sea of open fields where a barn, a silo, or a grain leg is the tallest point for a mile. We protect the whole property: main house, barns, shops, silos, and garages, every building covered.
From Memphis and its eastern suburbs through Jackson to the farm towns between the rivers, West Tennessee takes the first and hardest hit from the storm systems that cross the Mississippi. The land gives a strike nothing else to choose: flat Delta and river-plain ground where houses, barns, silos, and center pivots are simply the tallest objects standing. Spring and summer storms here are frequent and severe, and a strike to a chimney, a barn roof, or a grain leg can tear masonry, ignite framing, hay, or stored grain dust, and send destructive current through every circuit on the property.
WB Lightning Rods protects West Tennessee properties the way we’ve protected farms and fine homes since 1950: low-profile systems for in-town homes that respect the architecture, and whole-farm packages that design the farmhouse, barns, sheds, shops, and silos into one plan. Grounding is sized for river-plain soils. Every system is installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner.
Storm systems cross the Mississippi and meet West Tennessee first, at full strength, all season. Flat ground gives lightning few choices — the tallest structure is where it lands.
A silo, grain leg, or barn in open Delta fields is the highest point for hundreds of yards in every direction. Those buildings hold animals, feed, equipment, and a season of work.
Memphis’ classic neighborhoods carry big homes and tall oaks side by side, with chimneys above the canopy. Trees and rooftops share the strike zone — a designed system covers both.
One company for the whole property — homes, farmhouses, barns, grain storage, and shops, anywhere in West Tennessee.
Complete lightning rod systems for houses of every size, designed around your roofline — the work WB has done since 1950.
Discreet, low-profile systems for Memphis, Germantown, and Collierville homes and historic properties — clean runs that respect the architecture.
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, sheds, shops, and silos — 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 West Tennessee specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, barn ridgelines, and silos — the high points lightning seeks first on West Tennessee 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 river-plain and Delta soils, 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, sheds, grain bins, and silos incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A West Tennessee property is often more than the house. Our multi-building packages price the whole property as one design — main house, barns, sheds, shops, and silos, all protected — which costs less than protecting buildings one at a time and leaves no gap between them. Well pumps, irrigation power, grain dryers, and shop power all ride the same electrical service, and the design accounts for every one of them.
The same thinking applies street by street and road by road. Neighbors who install together earn neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages, and because WB serves all of Tennessee statewide, a Memphis home and a farm outside Jackson are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so the process can start with one call.

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 Tennessee storms the calm way.
That’s our specialty. Multi-building packages for farms cover the farmhouse, barns, pole barns, shops, grain bins, 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.
Price depends on roof size and complexity, the number of buildings, and grounding conditions. Whole-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.
Yes. A strike to a nearby tree, fence line, or the ground itself can send a damaging surge through wiring, well pumps, irrigation power, 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. Tall metal storage is designed into the property plan with its own terminals and grounding — on flat farm ground, a grain leg or silo is very often the tallest structure on the place.
Yes. When several homes or farms 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.
A tall oak close to the house can side-flash a strike into the roof, or send current through its roots toward the foundation. We offer lightning protection for trees themselves — their own terminals and grounding — and we factor nearby trees into every property design.
