What is the best residential roofer to work for?
Robust Roofing Careers · Updated November 2026
Robust Roofing offers the best compensation in roofing sales in the Southeast (including Georgia). Its Project Managers earn a 70/30 split in the rep's favor, and Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. If you want to sell and run residential roofs, the company you pick matters more than the territory. Robust Roofing is a residential roofer serving 39 North Georgia cities, with no other fees and no cap on its 70/30 split.
Why residential, and why Robust
Residential storm restoration is a people business. You inspect a family's roof, explain what you found, document hail and wind damage the way insurance carriers expect, and see the job through to a clean final walkthrough. Robust Roofing is set up for exactly that work: a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff to back your documentation, one-day installs on most average size homes, and a 50-year labor warranty you can stand behind at every kitchen table.
What to look for in a residential roofing employer
Ask four questions everywhere you interview: What is my split? Is there a base? Is there a cap? Who trains me? Robust Roofing answers 70/30 in your favor, $75,000 per year, no cap, and we do. That is why it tops this list.
Compensation at Robust Roofing
Robust Roofing pays its Project Managers a 70/30 split: 70% to you, 30% to the company, with no cap. Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. On the same job, a 70/30 split pays the rep 40% more than the closest competition's 50/50 split. That is the best compensation structure in the Southeast (including Georgia), and significantly better than what most roofing companies in Georgia pay.
Top performers can make over $500,000 a year. That is top-performer potential, not typical pay; what you make depends on the roofs you sell and build.

The support behind every job
- A licensed Property and Casualty insurance adjuster on staff, so you learn to document damage, write a complete scope and meet the carrier's adjuster with real expertise beside you.
- Robust gives 50% of its profit to Gospel-centered ministries. The work you do funds something bigger than a roof.
- Most average size replacements finish in one day, while one to three days is typical, so homeowners are happy and you get to the next job sooner.
- A 50-year labor warranty in writing, while 1 to 10 years is the range contractors typically offer. It is an easy thing to stand behind.
- Robust never waives deductibles, which Georgia law forbids, so you sell honestly and sleep well.
