A1 meets the qualifications Lighting mentioned and I think Triangle does too.

Both A-1 Lightning and Triangle Lightning are UL listed and employ installers that have passed the four closed book exams to qualify for Master Installer offered by the Lightning Protection Institute. Both have advertisements in the POA Bulletin and can be found on the POA web site poa4us.org. A-1 will come to your home and give you a presentation and a quote. Triangle offers a special price of $1,295 (aluminum conductors for copper add $200 to $300) for any home of less than 2,100 square feet. These firms do not engage in door-to-door sales. This is a buyer beware market place as there is no local, state, or federal oversight for residential properties. Door-to-door installers who flaunt The Villages solicitation rules may tell you that they use UL components but that does mean that the system they will install will meet NFPA 780, National Standard for the Installation of Lightning Protection Systems, which is a model code adopted by Florida for health care and educational facilities.
