We hired Lightning Defense to install lightning rods on our home after a friend lost his home to a fire caused by lightning. Lightning defense was extremely knowledgeable, and helped dispel myths regarding lightning rods (such as lightning rods attract lightning). Communication was great throughout, and the job was completed quickly and professionally. The rods are barely visible from the street, and look quite nice. I would highly recommend researching lightning rods, and consider Lightning Defense for the job. I feel much more secure knowing that my home has an added layer of protection, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company for the job.

On tlme, very pleasant,EXPLAINED every detail of installation and especially liked when John said if we ever replace our roof please let him know,as LD will come and remove rods and then put them back free of charge,because some roofers just cover over the bases,AND no money till we were satisfied,THAT is only The kind of contractors I have ever hired. Thank you John.

In my twenty-six years as a consultant to the construction industry I have never dealt with a better contractor. It was an absolute pleasure to do business with John Sherlock and his wife. They are hardworking people whose first concern is doing a good job for their client and meeting the client's needs, including scheduling. They are knowledgeable, competent, and efficient. I recommend them in the highest possible terms.

Mr Sherlock has been in business for 41 years....he's old school. Wants it done right and to give excellent service to his customers. He knows word of mouth is the best advertisement. Very cordial and straight forward. Fair in his price and got the job done himself. Doesn't send other workers. Great experience.

John is a professional man to work with and is a very kind person. He aims to please and works very hard at pleasing the customer. He knows what will work on our home. The owner plans to be available for us if we need him in the future. We trust the lightning rods will prove to help us if we need them.

Their work was as good as or better than advertised. They were on time and worked very efficiently. All of my questions were answered and provided a lightning protection education that supported my pre-project research. The finished copper installation passed the eye appeal test when compared to near by installations by others. Well done!
