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)
"The job was beautifully and professionally done. I have a zero scape yard and the gentleman was concerned about disturbing the gravel when putting the rod into the ground. WOW!!!!"

"I had a great free consultation with the owner. He agreed to replace my bathroom light with a fan\light combo, as well as add an outlet and install puck light above the shower. The price he charged was very good. I was disappointed with the work for severeal reasons. Instead of replacing the light, the installer put the new fixture in a different location and placed a metal plate over the old location (picture attached). It doesn't look good at all, and will take more electrical work before I can sheetrock and paint. There are also a couple blood spots on my ceiling now around the area where the new fixture was installed, as the installer had a minor cut. The outlet works fine, but the installer damaged the sheetrock around it. I will now have to mud, sand, and paint the area (picture attached). Last of all, and probably the worst, the owner will no longer contact me despite having requested more quotes multiple times. I cannot recommend this company."

We have provided hometown service to residents of the Kansas City Metro since 1951. We offer FREE ESTIMATES on a new air conditioner, furnace, boiler, heat pump, geothermal, zoning, water heater, tankless water heater, plumbing remodel projects, and battery back-up sump pump.
"We are long-time Anthony’s customers and are on their ASAP plan. We had a list of several electrical projects we needed done: (1) a bedroom wall switch replaced (2) 2 lights added to our basement (3) a kitchen fluorescent fixture re-wired to accept LED lighting (4) a bathroom fan replaced and (5) an outlet with a dedicated circuit installed in our garage for the control box of a sprinkler system. The team of Todd and Tyler arrived at our house at the appointed time and got right to work. All of the work was done very professionally and we are very happy with the result. They were actually able to replace the motor in the old bathroom fan, which was less expensive than replacing the entire fan, and that was fine with us! The invoice was very clear about what work was done and we got a nice discount because we are ASAP members. We have also used Anthony’s for HVAC and plumbing work and are always very satisfied with the work and the professionalism of the Anthony’s employees."

"Mr. Barrett was sensational. My home is 35 years old, and the faucet handle was so badly corroded that it was difficult even to turn off the water. In spite of the corrosion and difficulty in removing the old fixture and installing the new one, Mr. Barrett never lost his patience and continued to work on the fixture at a time when most plumbers probably would have given up and tried to sell me lots of expensive new piping. I used Handyman Barrett for the first time just one week ago for an entirely different project, and I will certainly call him again for any home projects."

FAQs for lightning protection install or repair projects in Platte City, MO
The main drawbacks of lightning protection systems are upkeep and appearance. The system needs routine cleaning and professional inspections; skip them, and the rods might fail when you need them most. Over time, those visits add a little extra cost and effort. Some homeowners also dislike the look of metal rods or cables along the roofline. If aesthetics worry you, ask your installer about lower-profile hardware or ways to blend the components into your roof.
No, the copper in lightning rods does not attract lightning. Instead, lightning targets the highest nearby point, not the metal itself. Copper is simply a superior conductor, which is why pros use it. When a bolt hits the rod, the copper safely channels the charge through the grounding cable and into the earth, sparing your home. Choosing copper doesn’t draw more strikes—it just handles them better.
Rod count depends on your home’s size and the system you choose. A 3,000-square-foot house needs six to eight copper or aluminum rods for full coverage, while a single ESE air terminal often protects the same area on its own. A UL-certified pro can measure your roof, spot potential strike points, and recommend the right number for complete peace of mind.
Always hire an Underwriters Laboratories-certified installer. A UL-certified pro follows the Lightning Protection Institute’s strict rules, mounts each rod securely, and uses only UL-listed parts. Professional installation protects you from falls, wiring mistakes, and code violations, and it ensures the system works exactly as designed when the next storm rolls through.
