Indiana’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
Zionsville mixes a brick-paved village of historic homes with working farm and horse country right at its edges — barns, arenas, and paddocks along wooded lanes in Boone County. Indiana storms cross that open ground at full strength, and both sides of Zionsville stand exposed: chimneys above the village canopy, and barns alone in pasture. We protect the whole property under one plan: house, barns, shops, and trees, every building covered.
The village itself is a canopy town — older homes on tree-lined streets, tall chimneys, and mature oaks standing over roofs. A few minutes out, the lanes open into Boone County farm country: horse properties with center-aisle barns and arenas, cattle and crop farms with pole barns and equipment sheds, and farmhouses under big shade trees. Indiana’s summer storm track runs straight across it. A strike to a barn roof can ignite hay and timber framing; a strike to a village chimney can tear masonry and send current through every circuit in the house.
WB Lightning Rods protects Zionsville properties the way we’ve protected homes and horse farms since 1950: low-profile systems for the village’s historic homes that respect the architecture, and whole-property packages for the farms and horse properties beyond it. Every system is installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner, built to NFPA 780 guidelines with UL-listed materials made in the USA.
Zionsville’s historic streets pair tall older homes with older trees. Trees and rooftops share the strike zone, and a designed system covers both — including lightning protection for the trees themselves.
Barns and arenas on Zionsville’s lanes stand in open pasture — the tallest structures around, holding horses, hay, and tack. That’s where lightning lands, and it’s the heart of our Boone County work.
Boone County’s crop and livestock farms put pole barns, equipment sheds, and grain setups in open fields. A strike there risks the building, the equipment, and the season stored inside it.
One company for the whole property — historic homes, horse barns, arenas, pole barns, and farmhouses, anywhere in Zionsville and Boone County.
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 Zionsville’s historic village homes and custom homes — clean runs that respect older 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, horse barns, arenas, pole barns, and shops — 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 Zionsville properties specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, and barn ridgelines — the high points lightning seeks first on Zionsville homes and farms.
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 every down conductor, sized for Boone County 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, arenas, pole barns, equipment shops, guest houses, and silos incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
Zionsville’s protection needs change street by street: a historic home under the village canopy, then a horse farm two lanes out. Our designs follow the property, not a template — and our multi-building packages price a whole farm as one design: farmhouse, horse barns, arenas, run-in sheds, pole buildings, shops, and silos, all protected, which costs less than protecting buildings one at a time and leaves no gap between them.
Neighboring properties that install in the same trip earn neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages, and because WB serves all of Indiana statewide, a Zionsville home and a farm elsewhere in the state under the same owner are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so the process can start with one call.
Real WB installations — horse barns, stables, and homes protected by our own crew.
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 Indiana storms the calm way.
That’s our specialty. Multi-building packages for horse farms cover the farmhouse, horse barns, arenas, run-in sheds, 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.
Price depends on roof size and complexity, the number of buildings, and grounding conditions. Multi-building packages price the property 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, barn fans, and electronics — and current can travel along fence lines across a pasture. 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.
It’s designed not to. Terminals are sized to sit quietly on the roofline, and conductors run cleanly along rooflines and downspout lines. On the village’s older homes the finished system is protection you have to look for to see.
Yes. When neighboring 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.
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.
