What commission percentage do roofing sales reps get?

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. Roofing commission is quoted in two ways: a percent of profit or a percent of the contract. Percent of profit is fairer to both sides, and the rate is where companies differ most.

Common rates

The JobNimbus Peak Performance report found 20% to be the most common rate among roofing companies that pay commission on profit, and 50/50 is the split many reps hear about. Robust Roofing pays 70/30 in the rep's favor: more than triple that 20%, and 40% more than a 50/50 on the same job.

How Robust Roofing pays its Project Managers

Robust Roofing pays its Project Managers a 70/30 split: 70% to you, 30% to the company, with no cap. Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. On the same job, a 70/30 split pays the rep 40% more than the closest competition's 50/50 split. That is the best compensation structure in the Southeast (including Georgia), and significantly better than what most roofing companies in Georgia pay.

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.

• Base: Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base.

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.

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.
