The Villages packs thousands of homes into street after street of Central Florida — right in the middle of Lightning Alley. We protect them one home at a time, or a whole street at once with neighborhood multi-home packages.
The Villages is one of the largest retirement communities in America — tens of thousands of homes standing street after street across Sumter, Lake, and Marion counties, right in the middle of Lightning Alley. Central Florida's summer storms roll over those roofs on a near-daily schedule in season, and every one of those homes holds the electronics, appliances, and comforts its owners depend on.
WB Lightning Rods protects Villages homes with complete systems built to NFPA 780 guidelines, installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner. And because the homes here stand street after street, neighbors who install together save together — our neighborhood multi-home packages were made for exactly this community.
The Villages sits in one of the most strike-dense corridors in the country. Summer sea-breeze storms build over Central Florida nearly every afternoon from June through September.
Density cuts both ways: one storm cell threatens a whole neighborhood at once — but it also means a crew can protect several homes on one street in one trip, which is exactly what our multi-home packages price in.
Most Villages losses arrive as surges, not flames: HVAC systems, pool equipment, televisions, computers, and the golf-cart charger in the garage all ride the same lines. Our systems pair rods with surge protection to cover both.
One company for the whole property — homes, farms, barns, trees, and every building in between, anywhere in Florida.
Complete lightning rod systems for single-family homes — the work WB has done since 1950.
Low-profile systems designed around fine architecture, tile, and metal roofs.
Whole-property designs protecting the residence, dock, and boat lift — every structure on the water covered.
Barns, stables, arenas, and run-in sheds protected along with the residence.
Agricultural buildings, equipment sheds, and hay storage — the structures lightning finds first.
Multi-building packages for farms that price the whole property as one engineered network.
Specimen palms, oaks, and banyans protected with their own terminals and grounding.
Neighbors who install together save together — neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages.
Already have a system? We inspect it, repair storm damage, and bring older installations up to current NFPA 780 guidelines.
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 — and designed for The Villages specifically, not copied from a template.
Low-profile terminals across ridgelines, hips, and chimneys, sized and spaced for Villages rooflines — from courtyard villas to large custom homes.
Heavy conductor cables routed along rooflines and downspout lines in clean, secure runs, keeping the front of the home looking exactly as it did.
Deep-driven ground rods bonded into one low-resistance system, designed for Central Florida's sandy soils.
Pool cages, lanai frames, and metal roofing elements all tied in, so the whole property is protected — every structure covered.
The live oaks and palms shading Villages streets assessed home by home and, where appropriate, protected with their own air terminals and grounding.
Ask around any Villages square and you'll hear how things work here: a good contractor gets talked about at the club, on the golf course, and across the fence. Our neighborhood multi-home packages are built for that reality. When several homes on a street install together, every homeowner in the group pays less — and one clean installation tends to start the conversation for the next street over.
We cover the entire community — the established northern villages around Sumter Landing, the homes near Brownwood, and the newer southern villages — spanning Sumter, Lake, and Marion counties, custom homes and villas alike. Every job gets the same crew, the same owner supervision, and statewide Florida service behind it. One call covers it: 1-800-557-9037.
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 Florida storms the calm way.
Yes — that's our neighborhood multi-home package. When several homes on a street schedule together, the shared trips and setup bring every home's price down. Talk to your neighbors, then call us and we'll quote the street.
Easily. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery of your home, so we can prepare your estimate while you're away and schedule the installation for a time that suits you.
Very little. We use low-profile terminals and route conductor cables in clean runs along rooflines and downspout lines, so the system reads as part of the house rather than something added on top of it.
Yes — pool cages and lanai frames are bonded into the grounding network as part of a whole-home design, alongside the roof system and surge protection.
Most Villages homes are completed in a single day. Our crew arrives, installs, and cleans up, with the owner supervising the job start to finish.
All of it — the community spans Sumter, Lake, and Marion counties and we cover every village, north to south. And if you have a second home elsewhere in Florida, we serve the whole state, statewide.
Yes. Veterans, active-duty military, and seniors: ask about our courtesy discount when you request your estimate. It’s our way of saying thanks.
