Monmouth County holds two of New Jersey’s most exposed landscapes side by side: the estate and horse country of Colts Neck and Holmdel, and the oceanfront towns from Rumson and Deal to Mantoloking and Long Beach Island, where shore homes face thunderstorms straight off the Atlantic. We protect the whole property, every building covered.
Inland Monmouth is estate and horse country — Colts Neck’s farms and training barns, Holmdel’s big custom homes, Rumson and Fair Haven’s riverfront estates along the Navesink and Shrewsbury, where tall chimneys stand over the tree line a mile from the ocean. On the beach, from Sea Bright and Deal through Spring Lake, Bay Head, and Mantoloking to Long Beach Island, shore homes take sea-breeze thunderstorms that fire over warm water all summer and come ashore at full strength — and on a barrier island, your roofline is the tallest thing between the ocean and the bay.
WB Lightning Rods protects Monmouth and the shore the way we’ve protected fine homes and farms since 1950: complete systems built to NFPA 780 guidelines with UL-listed materials made in the USA — low-profile on estates and shore homes, whole-farm packages for the horse country. Every system is installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner, and many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so getting protected starts with one call.
Sea-breeze fronts build thunderstorms over the Atlantic in an afternoon and push them straight ashore. Shore homes and barrier-island houses take them at full strength, with no high ground and no tall trees to share the risk.
Rumson and the river towns put big homes on open, elevated ground along the water. Tall chimneys and cupolas above the canopy are the first tall objects a storm meets coming off the ocean.
Colts Neck and the inland townships run training barns, arenas, and pastures on open ground. A barn full of horses and hay is the loss horse country can least afford — and the barn is usually the tallest structure on the farm.
One company for the whole property — estates, horse farms, shore homes, and barns, anywhere in Monmouth County & the shore.
Complete lightning rod systems for houses of every size, designed around your roofline — the work WB has done since 1950.
Low-profile systems designed around fine architecture — shingle, slate, cedar, and standing-seam metal roofs — with clean runs along rooflines and downspout lines.
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, guest houses, pool houses, and outbuildings — 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 Monmouth County and the shore specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, barn ridgelines, and widow’s walks — the high points lightning seeks first on coastal and estate 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, designed for coastal soils — sand included, with grounding sized for it — 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, stables, guest houses, pool houses, and garages incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A Monmouth property is often more than the house — a barn, a guest house, a pool house, a garage apartment over the drive. Our multi-building packages price the whole property as one design, all of it protected, which costs less than protecting buildings one at a time and leaves no gap between them. Well pumps, pool equipment, irrigation, and landscape lighting all ride the same electrical service, and the design accounts for every one of them.
The same thinking applies street by street. Neighbors on the same ocean block or country lane who install together earn neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages, and because WB serves all of New Jersey statewide, a Rumson estate and a Colts Neck farm are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so the process can start with one call.
Real WB installations — estate homes, horse barns, and stables 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 New Jersey storms the calm way.
Yes. Thunderstorms build over open water and come ashore at full strength, and on a barrier island or an ocean block your roofline is the tallest point around. A system designed for the roofline gives strike energy a direct, controlled path to earth instead.
That’s our specialty. Multi-building packages for horse farms cover the farmhouse, barns, stables, arenas, shops, and run-in sheds 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. Estate and farm 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, a dune crossover, or utility lines down the road can send a damaging surge through wiring, well pumps, pool equipment, 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 shore houses are exactly where protection matters most, because nobody is home to smell smoke or cut power when a storm hits. A properly grounded system works whether you’re there or not, and many quotes start from satellite imagery so the process doesn’t need you on site.
Yes. When several homes on the same street or ocean block 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.
