Roofing sales vs solar 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. Solar and roofing sales attract the same kind of people: confident, organized and good with homeowners. The difference is demand.

Need vs want

Solar is a want that depends on incentives, rates and financing. A damaged roof is a need, and in North Georgia hail and wind create that need every year. Solar experience transfers well: the same homeowner conversations, with steadier demand.

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.
• Full time: a real career role, based in the North Atlanta metro around Johns Creek.
• 40% more than a 50/50: on the same job, a 70/30 split pays the rep 40% more than a 50/50 split.
• 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.
• No other fees: no other fees or deductions come out of your pay.

What makes the job easier to win

• 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.
• 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.
• 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 gives 50% of its profit to Gospel-centered ministries. The work you do funds something bigger than a roof.
