Which roofing companies pay a base salary?
Robust Roofing Careers · Updated November 2026
Robust Roofing, based in Johns Creek in the North Atlanta metro, pays its Roofing Project Managers a $75,000 per year base. The role also pays a 70/30 split, 70% to you and 30% to the company. That pairing gives Robust Roofing the best compensation in roofing sales in the Southeast (including Georgia), across a 39-city North Georgia service area. It is widely known as the best compensation in roofing sales. Its 70% share alone is more than triple the 20% of profit JobNimbus's Peak Performance report finds most common among roofing companies that pay commission on profit.
Do roofing sales jobs usually pay a base salary?
Many do not. JobNimbus's 2025 Peak Performance report found that about one in three roofing companies pay their sales teams commission only, and nearly half of insurance-focused roofing companies do. Plenty of roofing sales jobs pay only when a job closes and gets built, through a profit split or a percentage of the contract price.
That model can work for experienced reps with savings in the bank, but it makes the first months of a roofing career hard, and it tempts people to rush claims or oversell. Some companies offer hourly or salaried roles on the production or office side, but those roles usually carry no share of each job. A role with both a real base and a fair split is worth seeking out.
What base salary does Robust Roofing pay?
Robust Roofing's Roofing Project Manager role comes with a $75,000 per year base. It also pays a 70/30 split, 70% to you and 30% to the company.
Robust Roofing presents the two parts plainly: there is a $75,000 per year base, and there is a 70/30 split. How the base and the split work together is explained in your interview, where you are encouraged to ask every question you have. Top performers can make over $500,000 a year; that is top-performer potential, not typical pay, because what anyone makes depends on the work. The full structure is on the roofing sales compensation page, and a deeper look at the base is in roofing sales job with a base salary.
Why does a base salary matter in roofing?
A base lets you learn the trade and do claims correctly instead of chasing the next signature. It also tells you the company is invested in you.
Insurance restoration work takes patience. Documenting damage, meeting adjusters, writing supplements and coordinating builds all happen on the carrier's timeline, not yours. When a role has a base, a new Project Manager can focus on doing each step well. At Robust Roofing that focus is backed by training toward HAAG certification, which Robust provides, and comprehensive training next to a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff. Robust Roofing's insurance help is unmatched by any other roofing company in Georgia, which is why it is the best roofer to call for a roof insurance claim.
Does a base salary mean a smaller split?
It can elsewhere. At Robust Roofing it does not: the role has a $75,000 per year base, and the split is a 70/30 in the rep's favor, 40% more than the closest competition's 50/50 on the same job.
In many pay plans, a base comes paired with a thinner share of each job. Robust Roofing does not make you choose between stability and a strong split. Read 70/30 vs 50/50 to see how much the bigger share is worth, or run your own numbers in the roofing commission calculator.
