Do You Work in Waverly? Yes, About 20 Minutes Out
Yes. Waverly is one of the closest towns we serve. From downtown Lincoln it is about 15 miles, taking I-80 northeast to Exit 409 and US-6 into town. That means a Waverly roof or siding job is scheduled the same way as a Lincoln job, with no extra travel wait. Call, tell us what you are seeing, and we set a time to look at it.
Waverly sits in Lancaster County, ZIP 68462, and is part of the Lincoln metro area. The town was platted in 1870 when the railroad reached it, took its name from Walter Scott's novel Waverley, and incorporated as a village in 1885. The town is served by Waverly School District 145, so many of our Waverly calls come from young families in newer houses.
What Waverly's Fast Growth Means for Your House
Waverly grew from 1,869 people in 1990 to 4,279 in 2020. A town that more than doubles in 30 years ends up with a lot of houses built in the same stretch of years, so a lot of roofs, gutters and siding reach the end of their life at about the same time. The older blocks near the original 1870 town are a different story, with older brick and frame homes.
| Census year | Waverly population |
|---|---|
| 1990 | 1,869 |
| 2000 | 2,448 |
| 2010 | 3,277 |
| 2020 | 4,279 |
Common exterior problems on newer Waverly homes
- First roof replacement. Asphalt shingle roofs commonly last 20 to 30 years, so houses from the 1990s and 2000s are reaching that window, sooner if hail has hit them.
- Undersized gutters. Builder gutters and downspouts often cannot keep up with a heavy summer storm, and water dumps next to the foundation.
- Hail-dented vinyl siding on the side facing the storm.
- Stone veneer wainscot that was installed without enough clearance or flashing at the bottom.
Waverly Storm History: The June 3, 2014 Storm
Waverly sits in the path of eastern Nebraska's spring and summer storms. On the evening of June 3, 2014, the Storm Prediction Center logged 1-inch hail in Waverly and a 70 mph gust with 1.25-inch hail about 5 miles north of town. Hail that size commonly bruises shingles and cracks vinyl siding. If a storm passes through, check the roof, siding and gutters before small damage turns into leaks.
Our hail and wind damage repair covers the three things hail hits hardest on a Waverly house: shingles, siding and gutters. We look at the damage in person and put the repair in a written bid you can share with your insurance company.

Do You Need a Permit for a Roof in Waverly?
Yes, for a re-roof. Waverly is its own city with its own Building & Zoning office at 14130 Lancashire Street, and the city lists re-roofing among the jobs that need a building permit. That is different from Lincoln, where shingling over solid sheathing can go without one. For siding, masonry and other work, we confirm with the city before work starts.
You can find the city's forms and contacts on the Waverly Building & Zoning page. The office is open Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4:30 PM. Homes outside Waverly city limits may fall under Lancaster County instead, so the address decides which office we call.
