This directory holds a single roofing listing for Sterling, Nebraska. It is an address and contact record — no Google rating has been matched to it.
The listing is recorded in Johnson County. Roofing permits and inspections are issued locally rather than by the state, so a re-roof in Sterling goes through Johnson County or the municipality's own building department, whichever holds jurisdiction at the property.
Hiring a roofer in Sterling: what this page knows
Nebraska does not license roofers; it requires them to register with the state, and that registration covers work in Sterling. The Nebraska roofing license rules explain what a registration number does and does not tell you.

Roofers within 20 miles of Sterling
Sterling has one roofing listing of its own, shown above. 6 more listings are based in other towns within 20 miles. Below are the top 6, one card per company, ranked the same way as the list above: verified listings first, then by Google reviews, rating and name.
Each card names the town the business is based in and its straight-line distance from Sterling. Being based nearby is not the same as working in Sterling — ask whether they cover your address.
Licensing for roofers working in Sterling
Nebraska does not license roofing contractors. It requires them to register with the Nebraska Department of Labor, and that requirement covers work in Sterling.
Registration and licensure are not the same thing — a registration number records that a business completed a filing, and it sits alongside, not instead of, a permit and an inspection through Johnson County or the city.

* The most recent data year is partial. NOAA publishes storm reports on a rolling basis and the final months are still being processed, so a low count in the last year is not evidence of a quiet year. The curated archive behind these counts runs through May 31, 2026; anything later sits in the preliminary block below.
Notable events in the archive
- May 18, 2026 -- Tornado (EF1)
- Jun 11, 2018 -- Hail (Softball+ hail, 2.75 in)
- Jun 16, 2017 -- Thunderstorm Wind (75 kt gust)
Selected by the dataset’s own rule rather than by editorial choice: the largest hail, the peak wind gust, the strongest tornado and the two costliest events by recorded property damage, deduplicated and newest first. Any dollar figure above is NOAA’s recorded estimate for that one event.
Preliminary — not yet in the permanent archive
2 preliminary storm reports have been filed for Johnson County since June 1, 2026: 2 thunderstorm wind events. The strongest gust reported is 60 kt (about 69 mph), on August 19, 2026.
Preliminary reports covering 2026-05-31 onward come from National Weather Service storm reports filed as events occur. They have not yet been through the quality-control review that produces the permanent archive, and individual reports may later be revised, combined or withdrawn. NOAA Storm Prediction Center storm reports.
What these counts cover. County figures count events NOAA recorded against a county (hail, thunderstorm wind and tornadoes). High wind, winter storms, ice storms, blizzards, heavy snow, hurricanes and tropical storms are recorded against National Weather Service forecast zones rather than counties, so they are reported at state level instead. Counts reflect events that were observed and reported.
“Significant” on this page means an event meeting any one of three tests: hail 1.00 in across or larger, a wind gust of 58 kt or more (the National Weather Service severe thunderstorm criterion), or any tornado. It is a severity definition used by this dataset and is not an official NOAA classification.
Source. Archived figures come from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Storm Events Database, covering 2016 through May 31, 2026. Anything after that date comes from NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary storm reports and is labelled preliminary wherever it appears. Both are US Government works in the public domain.
