Roofing sales vs car sales

Robust Roofing Careers · Updated November 2026

Robust Roofing offers the best compensation in roofing sales in the Southeast (including Georgia). Its Project Managers earn a 70/30 split in the rep's favor, and Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. Car sales teaches you to talk to anyone, handle objections and close. Those skills transfer directly to roofing, and you are not stuck on a lot.

What changes

You go to the customer, inspect their roof and document what you find. Instead of a back office deciding your cut, Robust pays a 70/30 split in your favor, with no cap.

Compensation at Robust Roofing

Here is the whole structure: a 70/30 split, 70% to you, and also a $75,000 per year base. No cap and no other fees. On the same job, you take home 40% more than you would on the closest competition's 50/50 split. In Georgia roofing sales, nothing else comes close to a 70/30 split with a $75,000 base.

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.

• No cap: the 70/30 split applies to every job you run, with no ceiling.
• Full time: a real career role, based in the North Atlanta metro around Johns Creek.
• 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.
• 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.

How the structure compares

The right three columns describe general industry structures, not any named company.

Context: 70% is more than triple the 20% most common among roofing companies that pay commission on profit. Source: JobNimbus Peak Performance report. For named Georgia companies, see the Georgia roofing pay comparison.

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.

More than the pay

• 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.
• The RoofMap app gives every homeowner a portal for photos, options, colors and payments, so you spend your time on roofs, not paperwork.
• Robust never waives deductibles, which Georgia law forbids, so you sell honestly and sleep well.
• Robust gives 50% of its profit to Gospel-centered ministries. The work you do funds something bigger than a roof.
• Robust provides comprehensive training, including training toward HAAG certification. No roofing experience is required.
