The modern suburban and small town home of today has become an ideal lightning target. The home owner would do well to recognize lightning for the destructive force that it is and protect against this major life and fire hazard. Donohue's Lightning Rods is based in Missouri, near the factory where most of the residential and commercial lightning rod supplies are manufactured. Jim travels regularly to Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New York. Call today to find out when Jim will be in your area. For installations outside Missouri, Kansas, or Texas, Jim waits until there are a few customers lined up, thus being able to provide the same quality services at affordable prices. **WE DO NOT DO ELECTRICAL SERVICES.** (ONLY LIGHTNING RODS)
"Mr. Donohue is very knowledgeable and has excellent experience in the lightning protection area. He responds quickly and has a very professional team of workers. He quoted the job using google earth information. When he visited the site he reduced his price by over 50%. I highly recommend him and I will use his company again."

We specialize in all types of electrical work including low voltage and smart homes as well as commercial and industrial electrical work
"This is an updated review as I don't see an option to edit the older one I posted. Kevin came to our house at least 4 times in Otsego Co. The first time he worked hard updating several outlets and only charged $350. He told us then he would come back next time with another 2 guys & would charge $900 for the day (300x3). Next time, he only came with one other guy who did most of the work while Kevin went away part time. Still charged us $900. From then on, work proceeded slowly for $900/day with only Jordan his buddy working full time, while he would go away part time. They never even put up half the fixtures after the 4 days of work. The 4th day he charged over $1500 because he put in a subpanel upstairs which he claimed we needed. Kevin said he would be staying 10 hrs to finish everything on that last day. But in reality, he left early, had an excuse that he needs to get to a pharmacy and didn't finish the work. I think he drags it out on purpose to keep coming back and making $$$."

Lightning protection systems may help reduce the risk of damage when properly installed. Rather than preventing strikes, these systems provide a preferred path for lightning to follow into the ground instead of through your home's structure or electrical systems. The effectiveness depends on proper installation by qualified professionals and the system's adherence to safety standards. When systems meet UL requirements and are professionally installed, they can help mitigate potential damage from direct lightning strikes.
Installation timeframes vary based on system complexity and property characteristics. Simple installations involving just a couple of lightning rods might be completed in a few hours, while more extensive systems for larger homes with complex rooflines could require additional time.
Weather conditions, accessibility, and the number of components being installed all affect the timeline. Planning ahead and scheduling during favorable weather conditions can help ensure an efficient installation process.
Some insurance providers may take professionally installed lightning protection into consideration when determining policy terms. The potential impact on premiums varies by insurance company, location, and the specific details of your protection system. Systems installed by UL-certified professionals that meet recognized standards may be viewed more favorably. For specific information about how a lightning protection system might affect your coverage or premiums, contact your insurance provider directly.
Homeowners in regions with frequent thunderstorms, particularly those in "Lightning Alley" states like Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma, might benefit most from these systems. Properties situated on elevated terrain, homes near tall trees or bodies of water, and buildings housing valuable electronics or irreplaceable items are also good candidates. If your area has a history of lightning strikes or your home has previously experienced lightning-related issues, a protection system may provide additional peace of mind during storm seasons.
