From a young age I always loved Electric. My father was my idol and owned his own Electric business. I rode around with him in the truck doing service calls and installations until I turned of age to officially work for the company. At 16 I started doing prefabrication for all the large projects. Once I turned 18 I was an official apprentice. Putting in numerous hours I became a foreman and was offered a position in Colorado building multi Million dollar houses. I came back to Ohio and opened my own company. With over 15 years of experience, not only do I provide Top Notch work, but I provide a professional long lasting relationship for years to come.
"Shane and his team did a great job! Job was quoted fairly and competitively, and the team that did the work was prompt, kind and careful, and completed everything satisfactorily. They will be back this year!"

FAQs for lightning protection install or repair projects in Thornville, OH
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.
