Mitchell Roofing Company handles roof repair in Waverly, the small citrus community in east-central Polk County. We fix leaks, replace wind-damaged shingles and tile, repair metal roofs, and reseal vents and flashing. Waverly is unincorporated, so we pull the Polk County permit when the job needs one. Call (727) 288-4650 for a free inspection.
Waverly was started in 1882 by Asa Gibbons, 16 years before the town of Lake Wales was incorporated. It lies between Highway 17 and Highway 27 in east-central Polk County, and had 661 residents in 2020. Citrus built it: a packing shed went up by the railroad tracks in 1914 and became the Waverly Growers Cooperative packinghouse, one of the most modern in the state. The Haines City Citrus Growers Association took over operations in 2005.

Heavy Rain and Wind in East-Central Polk
Ian in 2022 dropped nearly 17 inches of rain at Lake Wales by preliminary counts, and Haines City reported homes with non-structural roof damage and residents needing help covering damaged tin roofs. Irma in 2017 took the steeple off a Lake Wales church. Rain that heavy finds every weak seam. See our storm and wind damage page.
Replacing a Waverly Roof
When leaks keep returning, the covering is worn throughout, or metal is rusted through, replacement is the smarter move. We tear off, fix bad decking and install the new roof, and the Polk County Building Division permits it. Roof financing is available.
Metal and Shingle Roofs in Waverly

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can you repair a leak at my Waverly home?
Call (727) 288-4650 as soon as you notice the leak. For an active leak, calling is the fastest way to get the opening covered and a repair scheduled. Catch the water and move valuables until then.
Can you patch my roof, or does it need replacing?
Limited damage on a solid deck is usually repairable. If leaks keep coming back or the whole roof is worn, replacement is the better investment. Our inspection photos show you where yours stands.
Do you repair metal and tile roofs in Waverly?
Yes. We fix metal roof panels, fasteners and flashing, and we replace cracked concrete and clay tile and check the underlayment beneath. We also repair architectural shingle roofs.
Does a Waverly reroof need a permit?
Yes. Waverly is unincorporated, and the Polk County Building Division requires a permit for all reroofing. Minor repairs under 25 percent of the roof, as determined by the county’s Building Official, are exempt. We pull the permit.
What does heavy tropical rain do to a roof?
Days of rain push water past worn flashing, cracked pipe boots, lifted shingles and loose panel fasteners. If a new stain shows up after a storm, call us before the water reaches the decking.
