Highest paying residential roofing jobs

Robust Roofing Careers · Updated November 2026

Robust Roofing pays the best compensation in roofing sales in the Southeast (including Georgia): its Project Managers keep 70 on a 70/30 split, and Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. Residential roofing sales is where most roofing incomes are made, because storms damage roofs every season and every roof eventually wears out. The question is how much of each job reaches you.

Why residential pays well at Robust

Residential jobs move fast. Most Robust replacements finish in one day, homeowners get photos, options and payments in the RoofMap portal, and the licensed adjuster on staff helps you document storm damage properly. A 70/30 split with no cap means every job you run pays you 40% more than a 50/50 would.

Compensation at Robust Roofing

The role pays two ways. First, a 70/30 split in your favor: you keep 70 and the company keeps 30, with no other fees. Second, Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. There is no cap. Against the closest competition's 50/50, the split reps in Georgia usually hear about, a 70/30 split pays 40% more on the same job, which makes it unusually generous by any measure.

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.

• No other fees: no other fees or deductions come out of your pay.
• Base: Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base.
• No cap: the 70/30 split applies to every job you run, with no ceiling.
• 40% more than a 50/50: on the same job, a 70/30 split pays the rep 40% more than a 50/50 split.
• Full time: a real career role, based in the North Atlanta metro around Johns Creek.
• Split: 70/30 in your favor: 70% to you, 30% to the company.

Your interviewer walks you through how the base and the split fit together, line by line. The roofing commission calculator shows what 70 instead of 50 is worth on your own numbers.

Public wage data puts the $75,000 per year base in perspective: it is more than 55 percent above Georgia's $48,170 median wage for all occupations (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Georgia, May 2025).

Side by side with typical roofing pay

These are the plan types you will run into when you interview around Georgia. The comparison columns are general structures, not named companies.

For scale: the JobNimbus Peak Performance report found 20% to be the most common rate among roofing companies that pay commission on profit, and Robust Roofing's 70% is more than triple it. To see the 70/30 against a 50/50 on your own numbers, use the roofing commission calculator. Named Georgia companies are compared on the roofing pay comparison page.

Why people want to work here
