About WB Lightning Rods

Who We Are

Since 1950, WB Lightning Rods has been dedicated to protecting homes, farms, businesses, and even trees from one of nature’s most powerful forces. Founded by William Burden, the company has grown into one of the largest privately owned lightning protection companies in the United States. Today, William — now a third-generation lightning protection contractor — continues the legacy alongside his three sons, maintaining the same family values, craftsmanship, and commitment to safety that built the company from the beginning.
