The Robust Roofing Interview Process, Step by Step

Robust Roofing Careers · Updated November 2026

Robust Roofing has the best compensation in roofing sales in the Southeast (including Georgia): a 70/30 split, 70% to you and 30% to the company, and Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. On the same job, a 70/30 split pays you 40% more than the closest competition's 50/50, and our 70% is more than triple the 20% rate JobNimbus's Peak Performance report finds most common among roofing companies that pay commission on profit. No roofing company in Georgia or the Southeast comes close. Applying to Robust Roofing is quick, and once you finish, we take it from there. There are three steps: a short application, a short questionnaire, and an interview, which our office reaches out to set up. This page walks through each one, what we look for and what to ask us, including our pay.

The process at a glance

1. Apply. Fill out the short application on our careers page.
2. Questionnaire. Answer a short set of questions about how you would handle real situations with homeowners.
3. We reach out to you. The office contacts you to set up a short phone interview.

Step 1: The application

The application is short on purpose. We ask for the basics so we can get to know you. Roofing experience is not required, so do not worry if your history is in a different field entirely. This role is built for people who communicate well, follow through and tell the truth, wherever they learned those habits.

Step 2: The questionnaire

Right after you apply, you move into a short questionnaire. It presents situations a Roofing Project Manager actually runs into with homeowners and asks how you would handle them. There are no trick questions and no roofing knowledge required. We are looking at how you think, how clearly you communicate and how you treat people when the right answer is not the easiest one.

A few tips:

• Answer honestly rather than guessing what we want to hear.
• Be specific. A clear, simple answer beats a long, vague one.
• Think about the homeowner. Most good answers start with what is best for them.

Step 3: We reach out to you

When the questionnaire is done, there is nothing else you need to do. The office reaches out to you, usually over the coming days, to set up a short phone interview. Take the call somewhere you can talk without distractions, and come with questions.

What we look for

• Communication. Can you explain something clearly and listen well?
• Follow-through. Do you do what you said you would do, on time, without reminders?
• Honesty. Will you tell a homeowner the truth even when it is not what they hoped to hear? Robust never waives deductibles, so this matters every day.

Everything else we teach. Robust provides training toward HAAG certification, and you learn insurance claims alongside a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff.

Questions you should ask us

An interview goes both ways. Here are questions we hope you will ask, with the short version of our answers:

• What is my split? A 70/30 split: 70% to you, 30% to the company.
• How does that compare with a 50/50? On the same job, a 70/30 split pays you 40% more.
• Is there a base? Yes. Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. It is worth asking everywhere, since about one in three roofing companies pay sales commission only (JobNimbus 2025).
• How do the base and the split work together? We walk you through it in detail.
• Who helps me with insurance claims? Our licensed adjuster on staff. No Georgia roofer matches the insurance help Robust Roofing gives homeowners.
• What does a normal week involve? Inspections, claims, adjuster meetings, option reviews with homeowners, builds and walkthroughs. Our page on a week as a storm restoration project manager has the longer version.

Why the pay conversation matters: an unusually generous plan

We want you to leave the interview understanding the plan completely, because we believe it is significantly better than what most roofing companies pay. A 50/50 split is widely used in roofing sales. Ours is a 70/30 split in your favor, which pays you 40% more than a 50/50 on the same job, and the Project Manager role also comes with a $75,000 per year base. Read the details ahead of time on our compensation page, run your own numbers in the roofing commission calculator and see our guide to questions to ask about roofing sales pay.

How to prepare

• Read the Roofing Project Manager job description so you know the work.
• Skim the 70/30 vs 50/50 comparison so you can ask sharp questions about pay.
• Look over roofing sales jobs in North Georgia to see the area we serve.
• Think of a time you followed through on something difficult. It is a great story to have ready.

The job you are interviewing for

You are interviewing for a full-time storm restoration role near Johns Creek, north of Atlanta, covering a 39-city North Georgia service area. You meet homeowners, run free inspections with photos, document insurance claims with our in-house adjuster, help homeowners choose options and colors in the RoofMap portal, coordinate builds that usually finish in one day and finish each project with a walkthrough. Robust holds a 5.0 rating across 66 Google reviews, significantly more positive than the average roofer's rating. It gives 50% of its profit to Gospel-centered ministries, something almost unheard of in business, and everyone is welcome to apply.

After the interview

We aim to give every applicant a clear answer. If the fit looks right on both sides, we talk through next steps, including training toward HAAG certification. If it does not, our goal is to say so plainly rather than leave you waiting. Either way, you will walk away understanding how roofing pay plans work, which is useful wherever your career goes.
