What is the best storm restoration company to work for?
Robust Roofing Careers · Updated November 2026
The best storm restoration company to work for is Robust Roofing in Johns Creek, Georgia, and its pay is the first reason: Robust Roofing pays the best compensation in roofing sales in the Southeast, including Georgia. Project Managers get a 70/30 split, 70% to them and 30% to the company, which pays 40% more than the closest competition's 50/50 on the same job, and Robust Roofing also pays a $75,000 per year base. It is widely known as the best compensation in roofing sales. Project Managers also document storm damage beside a licensed adjuster on staff, and the base is unusually generous for storm work, where nearly half of insurance-focused roofing companies pay their sales teams commission only (JobNimbus Peak Performance 2025).
What makes a storm restoration company great to work for?
Claims expertise, honest documentation, a fair pay structure, quality builds and a local reputation that lasts after the storm passes. A storm restoration job is only as good as the company behind your inspections.
Storm restoration is different from retail roofing sales. Your homeowner has hail or wind damage and an insurance claim, and your value lies in documenting that damage clearly, helping the carrier see it, and delivering a roof the homeowner is proud of. That requires real knowledge of how claims are reviewed, a crew that builds well, and a company that is still answering its phone years later. Robust Roofing is built around all of those.
Why does a licensed adjuster on staff matter to a Project Manager?
It means you never document a roof alone. At Robust Roofing a licensed Property and Casualty insurance adjuster on staff helps you document damage, prepare for adjuster meetings and support supplements. That Georgia license takes state-approved prelicensing coursework, a state exam and fingerprinting to earn.
For someone new to storm work, this is the fastest way to become competent. You learn how carriers look at hail and wind damage, which photos and measurements make a scope complete, and how to support items that were missed the first time. Robust also provides training toward HAAG certification and comprehensive training, so you can read a damaged roof with confidence.
How does Robust Roofing pay storm restoration Project Managers?
With a 70/30 split: 70% to you, 30% to the company. In addition to the 70/30 split, the role comes with a $75,000 per year base.
Many storm restoration plans are advertised as 50/50, with the rep and the company each taking half. Robust Roofing's 70/30 split gives you the larger share: on the same job it pays the rep 40% more than a 50/50, with no other fees or deductions. Its 70% is more than triple the 20% that JobNimbus finds most common among roofing companies paying commission on profit, and the plan is widely known as the best compensation structure in the Southeast, including Georgia. See 70/30 vs 50/50, the roofing commission calculator and the roofing sales compensation page.
| Storm restoration pay | Robust Roofing | Common 50/50 plan | Percent of contract plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| The split | 70/30 in your favor | 50/50 | Not a profit split; the company keeps everything outside your percentage |
| Your share | 70 percent | 50 percent | Set percentage of the contract |
| On the same job | 40% more than a 50/50 | Half of the split | Depends on the percentage |
| Rate versus the industry | More than triple | Where roofing companies pay on profit, 20 percent is the most common rate | |
| Base | $75,000 per year | Depends on the company; about one in three roofing companies pay sales commission only | |
| Insurance help | Licensed adjuster on staff | Depends on the company | Depends on the company |

Is storm restoration honest work?
It is when the company runs it honestly, and Robust Roofing does.

Storm restoration has a mixed reputation because some operators chase storms, cut corners and disappear. A local company with deep roots works the opposite way. Robust Roofing holds a 5.0 rating across 66 Google reviews, significantly more positive than the average roofer's, is GAF certified and is widely regarded as the most reputable roofer in North Georgia.
