Tennessee’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
Farragut and West Knoxville stack custom homes on wooded lots and lake-area estates along Fort Loudoun Lake, from the Northshore corridor through Concord and down toward Tellico Village. Storms build on the ridges east and west and sweep the valley between them, and wooded rooftops, chimneys, and lake homes on open points are what they find. We protect the whole property: main house, garages, shops, guest houses, and pool houses, every building covered.
From Farragut’s established neighborhoods through the Northshore and Kingston Pike corridors to the lake communities around Concord and Tellico Village, West Knoxville mixes custom homes on wooded lots with lakefront properties on open water. The exposure runs both ways: tall hardwoods stand over in-town roofs, lake homes sit open to the water on exposed points, and new subdivisions keep clearing valley land for large custom homes. A strike to a chimney or a lakefront roof can tear masonry, ignite framing, and send destructive current through every circuit on the property.
WB Lightning Rods protects Farragut and West Knoxville properties the way we’ve protected fine homes and farms since 1950: low-profile systems designed around the architecture, heavy conductor cables routed cleanly along rooflines and downspout lines, and whole-property plans that design the main house, guest houses, garages, and shops in together. Every system is installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner.
Fort Loudoun and Tellico shore homes sit on open water and exposed points where storms arrive unbroken. On a lake lot, the roofline is the highest point for a long way.
Farragut and West Knoxville’s established neighborhoods carry big homes and mature trees side by side, with chimneys above the canopy. Trees and rooftops share the strike zone — a designed system covers both.
West Knox County keeps clearing land for custom homes and subdivisions. A new roof on open ground is the tallest structure on its lot — and a system designed in from the start protects it from day one.
One company for the whole property — custom homes, lakefront estates, farmhouses, and shops, anywhere in Farragut and West Knoxville.
Complete lightning rod systems for houses of every size, designed around your roofline — the work WB has done since 1950.
Low-profile systems for Farragut custom homes and Fort Loudoun lakefront homes — clean runs along rooflines and downspout lines that respect the architecture and the shoreline.
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, garages, shops, guest houses, and pool houses — 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 Farragut and West Knoxville specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, dock and boathouse roofs, and guest house roofs — the high points lightning seeks first on Farragut and West Knoxville 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 valley clay and lakeshore 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.
Garages, shops, guest houses, pool houses, and barns incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A Farragut or West Knoxville property is often more than the house. Our multi-building packages price the whole property as one design — main house, guest house, garages, shops, and pool houses, all protected — which costs less than protecting buildings one at a time and leaves no gap between them. Well pumps, pool equipment, dock power, and gate operators all ride the same electrical service, and the design accounts for every one of them.
Subdivision streets are made for the same thinking. Neighbors who install together earn neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages, and because WB serves all of Tennessee statewide, a Farragut home and a second property in the Smokies or down the lake are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so the process can start with one call.
Real WB installations — custom homes and lake-area properties protected by our own crew.

Very little, when it’s designed properly. We use low-profile terminals and route heavy conductor cables cleanly along rooflines and downspout lines, following the architecture instead of fighting it. On most Farragut custom homes, visitors never notice the system until it’s pointed out — but it is working every storm.
Yes. A strike to a nearby tree, the lake shore, or utility lines down the road can send a damaging surge through wiring, well pumps, pool equipment, dock power, and electronics. That’s why grounding and bonding matter as much as the terminals on the roof: a properly grounded system gives strike energy a direct, controlled path to earth at the structure itself.
Yes — and we recommend it. Every structure on the property is designed into one plan: main house, guest house, pool house, garages, and shops, each with its own terminals, conductors, and grounding, priced together as a property package.
Yes. When several homes on the same street or subdivision 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.
A tall hardwood 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.
Price depends on roof size and complexity, the number of buildings, and grounding conditions. 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.
