Tall limestone churches
Ellis County was settled by Volga German families who built large limestone churches. The Basilica of St. Fidelis in Victoria, called the Cathedral of the Plains, has twin towers that rise far above the surrounding prairie. Tall stone churches like these are exactly the kind of buildings that need lightning protection. See church and steeple lightning protection.
Elevators and commercial buildings
Grain elevators, oilfield shops, and commercial roofs stand out on open ground with little around them. See commercial lightning protection and farm lightning protection.
Western Kansas farms and cattle
Ellis County farmsteads put barns, shops, and bins on wide-open prairie where lightning has few other targets. See farm lightning protection.
High Plains storms
Western Kansas thunderstorms bring lightning, hail, and strong wind across open country. See lightning protection inspection.

FAQ
Hays lightning protection FAQ
Do you serve Victoria, Ellis, and WaKeeney-area farms?
Yes. We serve Hays and Ellis County. Call (682) 490-2850, Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
Can you protect a large stone church?
Yes. We plan around towers and stonework and route conductors neatly. See church and steeple lightning protection.
Do you protect cattle barns and shops?
Yes. See farm lightning protection.
What affects the cost of lightning protection in Hays?
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 or dry ground can add grounding work. We look at the property and give you a free written estimate before any work starts.
Do lightning rods attract lightning?
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.
Does lightning protection help with insurance?
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.
