Why is a Project Manager role a better roofing sales job?

Because you own the whole job, so homeowners know exactly who to call and the result is yours from start to finish. At Robust Roofing the Project Manager is the homeowner's single point of contact from the first inspection to the final walkthrough.

That means you inspect and photograph the roof, document the damage, write the repair scope, meet the insurance company's adjuster at the house, submit supplements with photos and line-item support, help the homeowner choose options and colors, coordinate the build and walk the finished roof together. Under Georgia law, O.C.G.A. 10-1-393.12(e), a residential roofing contractor may not represent or negotiate on a homeowner's behalf on an insurance claim, so the role is built around documentation, the scope, the adjuster meeting and supplements.

What does the Robust Roofing Project Manager job include?

Field work on roofs across 39 North Georgia cities, with strong backing behind every job.

• The work: free inspections with photos, storm damage documentation, adjuster meetings with the in-house licensed adjuster, supplements, builds and a final walkthrough. Most replacements finish in one day.
• The tools: the RoofMap app, where homeowners review options and colors with you.
• What you sell: GAF certified installs, each backed by 50 years of labor coverage in writing, where 1 to 10 years is what contractors typically offer.
• The reputation: homeowners rate Robust Roofing 5.0 across 66 Google reviews, significantly more positive than the average roofer's rating.
• The mission: half of Robust Roofing's profit, 50%, goes to Gospel-centered missions, a level of giving almost unheard of in business. It is a Christian company, and everyone is welcome to apply.
• The pay: a 70/30 split in the rep's favor with no cap, widely known as the best compensation model in roofing sales, and Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. 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.

How does Robust Roofing compare with a typical roofing sales job?

Four job terms, side by side. The typical column reflects general industry patterns, not any named company.

How does the base compare with typical pay in the U.S.?

Robust Roofing's $75,000 per year base is well above the $50,980 median annual wage for all occupations in the United States in May 2025, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Because the BLS figure blends every occupation, read it only as a yardstick for the base, not as a measure of roofing sales pay.

Is the job remote, or can I do it from my state?

No, it is not remote. The role is based around Johns Creek in the North Atlanta metro and serves Robust Roofing's 39-city North Georgia service area, so you would live and work there. It is a big and growing region: metro Atlanta added 375,366 residents from April 2020 to July 2025 and is the sixth-largest metro area in the United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 estimates.

Who is the role a good fit for?

Someone who explains things clearly, does what they say and tells the truth. You do not need to have sold or installed a roof before; Robust Roofing provides training toward HAAG certification and teaches the insurance side beside its licensed adjuster.

You do not need to be a pushy closer. Homeowners respond to someone who explains the roof plainly, shows them the photos, tells them when a roof does not need replacing and keeps every promise, and that is who Robust Roofing hires and trains.

Career changers from teaching, retail, restaurants, the trades and other sales jobs bring skills that carry over, because explaining things plainly and keeping promises matter in all of them. Start with roofing sales with no experience and roofing jobs for career changers.
