A Roofing Sales Job With a $75,000 Per Year Base and a 70/30 Split

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 also a $75,000 per year base. No roofing company in Georgia or the Southeast comes close. The Roofing Project Manager role differs from most roofing sales jobs on two counts. First, it comes with a $75,000 per year base, while about one in three roofing companies pay their sales teams commission only, and nearly half of insurance-focused roofing companies do, according to JobNimbus's 2025 Peak Performance data. Second, its 70/30 split pays 40% more than the closest competition's 50/50 on the same job.

What are the two parts of the pay?

• A $75,000 per year base.
• A 70/30 split in your favor. You keep 70 and the company keeps 30, with no other fees. On the same job, that pays 40% more than a 50/50 split, and seventy percent is more than triple the 20% rate most common among roofing companies that pay commission on profit (JobNimbus Peak Performance).

Both are part of the role, and both are written the same way everywhere we publish them. How the base and the split interact is covered in your interview, and you should ask as many questions about it as you like. We would much rather you understand the plan completely than accept a role on assumptions.

Why does a base matter in roofing sales?

Commission only roofing sales can work for some people, but it puts pressure in the wrong places. A new rep with no base is tempted to rush inspections, push homeowners toward decisions before they are ready, and skip the slow, careful documentation that makes an insurance claim fair. Those habits hurt homeowners, and they hurt the reputation of the company behind the rep.

A base changes the posture of the job, and this one is substantial: Robust Roofing's $75,000 per year base is well above the $51,170 median annual wage for all occupations in the Atlanta metro (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2025). It gives you room to learn properly, to work toward your HAAG certification, to sit beside our licensed adjuster on real claims, and to treat every homeowner like a neighbor rather than a number. We want Project Managers who do the work right, and the base is one of the ways we make that possible.

Why does the split still matter?

A base is only half of a good plan. The other half is how big a share of each job you keep. Most roofing reps know the 50/50, where the rep and the company each take half. Our split is a 70/30 in your favor, so on the same job you earn 40% more than a 50/50 would pay, with no other fees. Read what a 70/30 split is for the full explanation, and try the roofing commission calculator to see the difference on your own numbers.

Why is Robust Roofing's plan widely known as the best compensation in roofing sales?

Because the Project Manager role has both pieces: a $75,000 per year base and a 70/30 split in the rep's favor. Plenty of companies offer one strong piece. Some offer a base with a thin split. Others offer an even 50/50 with no base at all. Having both is the specific reason we call Robust Roofing's plan significantly better than what most roofing companies pay.

What will this page not tell you?

You will not find projected annual totals, sample paychecks or claims about what anybody else made on this page. Those numbers depend on the work, the season and the person, and they say nothing reliable about you. What we give you instead is the structure, in writing, and straight answers in the interview. If you want to see how a 70/30 compares with your current split, the roofing commission calculator illustrates it on numbers you choose.

What is the actual job?

The opening is a full-time Roofing Project Manager position in storm restoration. You meet homeowners and run free roof inspections, photographing each slope. You document hail and wind damage, meet the carrier's adjuster and submit supplements when a scope misses something, with support from our in-house licensed Property and Casualty adjuster (no Georgia roofer matches the insurance help Robust gives homeowners). You sit with homeowners while they pick options and colors in the RoofMap portal, line up a crew for a build that is usually done in one day, and wrap things up with a final walkthrough. Throughout, you are the homeowner's single point of contact. See the full Roofing Project Manager job description.

Does a base change the character of a sales role?

In our experience, a base changes the pace more than anything. A Project Manager with a base can spend an extra half hour explaining a claim to a nervous homeowner, return to a property to photograph a slope that was hard to reach, or wait for the right moment to review shingle colors instead of forcing a decision. Those small choices are what turn a single roof into a reputation. The details of how the base is paid, and how it relates to your split, are covered in the interview, and you are welcome to ask about them as directly as you like.

Who does this role suit?

Communication, follow-through and honesty are what we screen for; everything technical is taught. You do not need roofing experience. If you have held back from roofing sales because commission only work felt like too big a leap, this structure was built with you in mind. People arrive from car sales, retail, hospitality, teaching and the military, among other paths; see roofing jobs for career changers.

Robust also never waives deductibles, a practice that is illegal in Georgia. You will never be asked to win a project with a promise the law does not allow.

Where is the job?

You would work from the Johns Creek part of the North Atlanta metro, and your territory is Robust's 39-city North Georgia service area. The list of cities is on our roofing sales jobs in North Georgia page.
