Which roofing companies have the best pay structure?

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. There are only a handful of pay structures in roofing sales. Once you know how each one works, ranking them is easy.

The structures, ranked

1. 70/30 with a base and no cap (Robust Roofing): 70% to you, 30% to the company, and also a $75,000 per year base. On the same job it pays you 40% more than a 50/50.
2. 50/50: an even split between you and the company.
3. Percent of profit at a lower rate: 20% is the most common among roofing companies that pay commission on profit (JobNimbus Peak Performance report).
4. Percent of contract: a fixed slice of the sale, regardless of profit.
5. Commission only: no base at all, at about one in three roofing companies and nearly half of insurance-focused ones (JobNimbus 2025).

What the Project Manager role pays

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.

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

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.

Side by side with typical roofing pay

For scale, the statewide median wage for all occupations in Georgia was $48,170 and the median for sales representatives of services was $75,280 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Georgia, May 2025). Robust Roofing's base alone is in line with that sales median, and the 70/30 split is a separate part of the role.

Why people want to work here

• A licensed Property and Casualty insurance adjuster on staff, so you learn to document damage, write a complete scope and meet the carrier's adjuster with real expertise beside you.
• Robust gives 50% of its profit to Gospel-centered ministries. The work you do funds something bigger than a roof.
• A 50-year labor warranty in writing, while 1 to 10 years is the range contractors typically offer. It is an easy thing to stand behind.
• Robust provides comprehensive training, including training toward HAAG certification. No roofing experience is required.
• Most average size replacements finish in one day, while one to three days is typical, so homeowners are happy and you get to the next job sooner.
