Connecticut’s #1 Lightning Protection Contractor
Connecticut’s northeast corner is the state’s farm heartland that time kept — Woodstock, Pomfret, Brooklyn, and Killingly, where dairy farms, orchards, and farmhouses spread across rolling open hills. Barns and silos stand as the tallest points for a mile, and summer storms roll in off the Massachusetts hills unbroken. We protect the whole farm under one plan: farmhouse, dairy barn, horse barns, pole buildings, and silos, every building covered.
From Woodstock and Pomfret through Brooklyn, Killingly, Putnam, and Thompson to the Rhode Island and Massachusetts lines, the Quiet Corner works the land: dairy herds, orchards, produce, and hay across some of the most open country left in Connecticut. The buildings are big and they stand alone — bank barns and gambrel barns with hay in the mow, silos taller than anything around them, pole buildings full of equipment. Storms crossing the corner’s ridges find those buildings first, and a strike to a barn roof can ignite hay and framing faster than anyone can respond.
WB Lightning Rods protects Quiet Corner farms the way we’ve protected farms since 1950: whole-farm packages that design the farmhouse, dairy barn, horse barns, pole buildings, shops, orchard buildings, and silos into one plan, priced together. 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.
A silo or barn standing in open Quiet Corner fields is the highest point for hundreds of yards in every direction. Lightning doesn’t have to aim — the tallest structure is simply where it lands.
A working barn holds animals, feed, equipment, and a season of hay. Losing the building is the smallest part of a barn fire — and timber framing with hay storage is a worst case once a strike lands.
In the Quiet Corner the farm isn’t one building among many — it’s the livelihood. Whole-farm packages are designed for exactly this country, and priced so protecting everything costs less than protecting pieces.
One company for the whole farm — farmhouses, dairy barns, horse barns, orchard buildings, pole buildings, and silos, anywhere in the Quiet Corner.
Complete lightning rod systems for houses of every size, designed around your roofline — the work WB has done since 1950.
Low-profile systems for farmhouses and rural homes across the corner — from historic Woodstock and Pomfret colonials to new builds on old farm roads.
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 — farmhouse, dairy barn, horse barns, pole buildings, 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 the Quiet Corner specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, barn ridgelines, and silos — the high points lightning seeks first on Quiet Corner 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 each structure, sized for local ground — glacial till and ledge included, with grounding engineered around ledge where it runs shallow — 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, orchard buildings, equipment shops, guest houses, and silos incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A working farm is never one building. Our multi-building packages price the whole farm as one design — farmhouse, dairy barn, horse barns, pole buildings, orchard buildings, shops, and silos, all protected — which costs less than protecting buildings one at a time and leaves no gap between them. Well pumps, milk-house equipment, barn fans, and irrigation all ride the same electrical service, and the design accounts for every one of them.
The same thinking applies road by road. Neighboring farms that install in the same trip earn neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages, and because WB serves all of Connecticut statewide, a Quiet Corner dairy and a shoreline home under the same family 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 Connecticut storms the calm way.
That’s our specialty. Multi-building packages for farms cover the farmhouse, dairy barn, horse barns, 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. 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, fence line, or the ground itself can send a damaging surge through wiring, well pumps, milk-house equipment, 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 — Quiet Corner ledge is a known quantity. Where rock runs shallow, grounding is engineered for it: rod placement, depth, and layout are adjusted to the ground on your property and verified as part of the installation.
Yes. When neighboring 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 — orchard packing and storage buildings, produce stands, equipment shops, and cold storage all fit the same whole-farm plan, each building with its own terminals, conductors, and grounding.
