Yes. Barns, pole buildings, silos, bins, and farmhouses in Berrien County often stand alone on open ground. We look at every building on the property, decide which ones need protection, and lay out conductors and ground rods so they stay clear of drives, drainage tile, and equipment lanes. See farm lightning protection.

Yes. We protect year-round homes, cottages, and cabins around Benton Harbor and St. Joseph. We look at the roof, chimneys, tall nearby trees, and decks or boathouses, then design air terminals, conductors, and grounding for the soil on that lot. See residential lightning protection.

Yes. Tasting rooms, barns, and production buildings at Berrien County vineyards and orchards often stand on high, open ground. We design systems for the main buildings and look at nearby metal structures that should be bonded.

The size and shape of the roof, how tall the building is, how many chimneys and roof peaks it has, and how many separate buildings you want covered drive most of the cost. Rocky, sandy, or wet ground can change the grounding work. We look at the property and give you a free written estimate before any work starts.

No. Lightning goes where it goes; a protection system just controls what happens when it arrives. Air terminals on the roof catch the strike, and conductors and ground rods carry it to earth so it does less harm to the building.

Policies differ, so check with your agent before you count on a discount. What we can do is give you a written record of what was installed and where, which is useful for your insurer and for anyone who inspects the system later.
