Our strong passion for the lightning protection industry continues to grow every year. Our small business started by providing structural lightning protection for the homes in Western North Carolina.

ALP then expanded geographically across the southeastern US and eventually, to the rest of the country. Marketwise, we expanded into commercial and industrial projects, ranging from complex manufacturing plants, data communication centers to aeronautical, and space exploration facilities.

With the need to constantly improve on antiquated technology, ALP is now engineering and manufacturing new products to better address today’s ever-evolving needs.

VISION

To be a superior provider of lightning protection knowledge, services, and products to the markets we serve. We strive to build long-term relationships with all of our clients. We’re not looking to simply make a sale; we’re looking for solutions to your problems. We approach every project with the attitude of complete protection as our end goal. We believe if we can provide 100% satisfaction and 100% protection, then we will be the company that gets the phone call when the next house is built, the next facility is bought, or the next technology upgrade is planned.

PURPOSE

To create superior and sustainable long-term protection of our customers’ valuable investments by providing the highest quality protection systems, engineered and designed for each specific project with both safety and value always in mind.

Testimonials and References

“Superlative company. Outstanding customer service and top-quality work! We had ALP Systems, Inc. install a lightning protection system when we moved to the area. We live on the side of a mountain, so a lightning protection system was vital to protecting our property. We can’t tell you how many times since then we’ve been thankful for the system! We get some tremendous storms up here, and we haven’t had a single day of concern, knowing the system was up there protecting us. Recently, we needed to get our roof replaced. Part of the system could be removed, while some components had to remain in place. ALP Systems, Inc. sent us photos of the semi-permanent components that had to remain on the roof with clear instructions for the roofers of what to avoid and how to be careful around the remaining components. We sent those instructions and photos to the roofing contractor, so there would be no difficulty for their crew to recognize those components and work carefully around the system. The instructions and photos were also helpful to us in understanding ALP Systems, Inc.’s work “firsthand.” We wanted to have that system down as short a time as possible and were able to schedule the roofing contractor for the week immediately following ALP Systems, Inc.’s visit. However, we were dismayed that delays by our roofing contractor caused the lightning protection system to be down for 2+ months. Corie at ALP Systems, Inc. proactively called several times to check whether they could reinstall the system. When the roofers were finally done, Corie was very responsive in getting our project on ALP Systems, Inc.’s schedule as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, ALP Systems, Inc.’s crew found that the roofers had caused considerable damage to the very components they had been cautioned about. Instead of a one- or two-hour job, it took two man-days to get the system operational. The ALP Systems, Inc. crew was very professional throughout the repair. Afterward, they provided us with a letter and photos showing the damage and repairs that were made. We forwarded the letter and photos to the roofing contractor along with the additional charges for the time and materials required for those repairs. We were very relieved when the system was again in place! We cannot say enough good things about ALP Systems, Inc., their workmanship, knowledge, and professionalism. We most highly recommend ALP Systems, Inc. to anyone considering a lightning protection system!!”

“ALP Systems is an extremely professional and reliable business. I had the lightening protection system installed on my home and have had such a peace of mind since. They did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend them to anyone!”

“A tornado was the last thing we expected to happen on the evening of November 30, 2016. The building is 365,000 square feet with two separate wings joined by an Atrium/Lobby area. The tornado took off the roof of the North wing and, subsequently, damaged the Lightning Protection System beyond repair. ALP Systems arrived when scheduled, conducted a thorough inspection/assessment, provided an excellent price, and did an exception job. Everyone on the team was professional and available each and every time I reached out to them. I have been a Facilities Manager for over 30 years and would higly recommend them to anyone in need of their service. Please give them an opportunity to bid on your job; you won’t be disappointed.”

“Our property is a sprawling lightning magnet with its extensive web of electrical ground antenna. Having a home punched in an open area, above a sandstone ridge, and on top of a hill is always a lightning lure. This is a perfect formula for attracting lightning and ground shocks. They say that lightning never strikes twice. We certainly know that that is a misleading statement! We have had numerous lightning strikes in and around our neighborhood after the custom system was installed. We have no experienced any of the prior strike damage or problems. Your project has worked its magic! It has prevented all of the major and minor electrical damage that seemed to reoccur every few years. Your system has lowered our apprehension levels, mitigated our risk factors, and the stress of lightning recovery issues!”

– Mr. & Mrs. Rothenberg

“It is very easy to write something supportive of ALP. If only more contractors had the knowledge and attitude that ALP has. Working with Eric Bean and his crew is a breath of fresh air. They are totally professional and expert in their field. Eric is happy to clearly explain what the installation requires so you understand what is needed and how things work. If you have questions after the work is completed, ALP is there for you then too. We are lucky to have such a company in our region, and it would be worth having them come to your site even if you are not located in the immediate area.”

– Eric F.

“Many thanks to Eric and his co-workers for a FANTASTIC installation of our whole house generator. It is such a blessing to not have to worry about the power going out since Steve is on oxygen 24/7. They did a beautiful job setting it up and giving it a nice finished look. Eric is extremely knowledgeable and professional in his field, and we would highly recommend his company to everyone. Thank you, Eric, for a job well done!”

– The Powells

“Eric Bean and his staff did an excellent job at our newly built home. Eric has installed lightning protection devices at several homes in our neighborhood and they are all very pleased with his work. Right from my first phone call, ALP was very professional and easy to work with. We would like to commend ALP for their innovativene when we encountered a problem during the course of our project. We have a circular dome that needed a Vent Cap and to incorporate the lightning rod over it, ALP designed, fabricated and installed a copper Vent Cap with the lightning rod attachment that worked wonderfully. We would strongly recommend ALP to anyone for Lightning Protection. Take Care.”

– Vijay R.

“The bottom line is ALP solved my lightning problem. He did so at a fair price and was very responsive. The job was completed within a couple of days of my first contact with him. If you call him and get no answer-leave a message because he really returns phone calls very timely. I would certainly recommend Eric and ALP to anyone.”
