Homes in Lansing, East Lansing, and the townships
Old Town, REO Town, the east side, East Lansing, Okemos, Haslett, Holt, and Delta Township cover everything from older two-stories with brick chimneys to newer subdivisions with several roof planes. We plan concealed or neatly exposed conductors to match the house. See residential lightning protection.
The Capitol area, campuses, and steeples
The Capitol dome and nearby civic roofs, Michigan State campus buildings along the Red Cedar, and church steeples across Lansing and East Lansing are some of the tallest points in mid-Michigan. Those jobs need careful bonding of rooftop equipment and a clean route down masonry. See commercial lightning protection and church and steeple lightning protection.
Farms toward Mason and the county line
Southern Ingham County around Mason and Dansville still has farms, barns, and acreage homes on open ground. See farm lightning protection.

Ground & Weather
Ground and weather conditions in Ingham County
The Lansing area is mostly flat to gently rolling ground with clay loam soils, crossed by the Grand and Red Cedar Rivers. Clay loam usually holds moisture well for grounding, though older neighborhoods and campus areas can have a lot of buried utilities. We locate them before any rods go in.
The Capitol dome, campus buildings, and church steeples are the tallest roofs in the area. Out toward Mason, Leslie, Williamston, and Stockbridge, farmhouses, barns, and grain bins sit on open fields with little nearby to take a strike.
A lightning protection system protects the structure; it does not replace personal lightning safety.

FAQ
Lansing lightning protection FAQ
Do you serve East Lansing, Okemos, Haslett, Holt, and Mason?
Yes. We serve Lansing, East Lansing, and Ingham County. Call (682) 490-2850, Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
Can you protect a campus or commercial building?
Yes. Flat and metal commercial roofs in Ingham County need air terminals along the edges and around rooftop equipment, plus well-placed down conductors and grounding. We work with your facilities team or contractor on access and scheduling. See commercial lightning protection.
Do you work on farm buildings south of town?
Yes. We protect farmhouses, barns, shops, grain bins, and livestock buildings around Lansing and across Ingham County. We plan the whole farmstead together, give each building its own path to ground, and bond metal roofing, siding, and nearby bins. See farm lightning protection.
Do you work in Eaton and Clinton Counties too?
Yes. Besides Ingham County, we serve Grand Ledge and Delta Township in Eaton County, and DeWitt and the Clinton County townships north of Lansing. Call (682) 490-2850, Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
What affects the cost of lightning protection in Lansing?
Every system is priced for the building, so we don't quote a flat number. The main factors are roof size and height, the number of chimneys, dormers, and ridges, the roof material, how many buildings need protection, and the soil where the ground rods go. We give a free written estimate for Ingham County properties after looking at the site.
Do lightning rods attract lightning?
No. A lightning rod does not draw lightning to a building. It gives a strike that was already going to hit the structure a planned, low-resistance path along conductors to ground, so the current is less likely to pass through framing, wiring, or plumbing.
Does lightning protection help with insurance?
It is worth asking your agent. Some insurers take lightning protection into account on homes, barns, and churches, but policies differ. We can give you a written description of the system we installed for your records.
