Primary Surge Protection

If your concern is a Direct Lightning Strike to your home consider a lightning protection system installed by a UL listed firm that employs installers who qualify for Master Installer by the Lightning Protection Institute.

Can anyone recommend a firm/person who would install a lightening protection system? Any idea of approximate cost? We did opt yes for the surge protection offered by SECO. Thanks
