About Us

I'm Kris Runyon

I started this company in February of 2016 after retiring from the Rochester Police Department where I proudly served for 23 years. I am the owner, designer and UL certified Master installer.

Do lightning protection systems work?

UL estimates that when installed correctly, lightning protection systems are 97% or better at effectively channeling lightning away from your property and into the ground.

Can I get my system installed in the winter?

I can often work year-round; however, you do not want to know my hourly rate for shoveling snow! I'm counting down the days until I can move where snow doesn't exist. Sometimes weather does not permit work to get done as timely as we'd like, but I will get your job completed as soon as I possibly can.
