Our History
Waller is truly a family owned and operated firm. Three generations of the Waller family have played a major role in the success at Waller. In addition to Bob Waller (Jr) listed above, Bob Waller (RJW III), Tom Waller, Jimmy Waller, and Brian Waller - along with numerous other family members – have all been instrumental in building and continuing the Waller tradition in the design and construction industry.
Although it's the same essential company, over the years Waller has changed and expanded with the times:
The Foundation: Waller is founded in a former residential home on Gary Road and East Lakeland. This would serve as Waller’s primary office location for the next 49 years.
Commercial Focus: During these decades, Waller specialized mainly in commercial work, constructing schools, churches, office buildings, and more.
Diversification: Waller added restoration and residential services to the portfolio while continuing to complete major commercial projects.
A New Era in Dixieland: Waller moves into the historic Dixieland district at the old Publix building. We opened the Design Studio Showroom, added design staff, and began providing professional design work for commercial and residential clients.
Studio Expansion: The Design Studio Showroom expanded into the east section of our building. This gave us the ability to host special events and significantly expand our selection of showroom materials.
Waller Plumbing: We opened Waller Plumbing as an added service featured for our commercial and residential clients.
