Roofing sales vs insurance sales

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. If you have sold insurance, you already speak the language of storm restoration: coverage, deductibles, depreciation and adjusters.

Your head start

You will learn damage documentation and scopes from Robust's licensed Property and Casualty adjuster. Georgia law bars roofers from negotiating claims for homeowners, so the role is documentation and support, which insurance people do well.

The pay, in plain words

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.

• 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.
• Split: 70/30 in your favor: 70% to you, 30% to the company.
• 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.
• 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.

Public wage data puts the $75,000 per year base in perspective: it is more than 55 percent above Georgia's $48,170 median wage for all occupations (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Georgia, May 2025).
