What makes a good roofing company to work for?

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. Every roofing company says it is a great place to work. Here is a checklist you can actually test in an interview, and how Robust Roofing answers it.

The checklist

1. A bigger split. Ask what your split is. Robust: 70/30 in your favor, which pays you 40% more than a 50/50 on the same job.
2. No extra fees. Ask whether any extra fees come out of your pay. Robust: no other fees.
3. A real base. Robust: $75,000 per year.
4. No cap. Robust: none.
5. Training and certification. Robust: comprehensive training, including training toward HAAG certification.
6. Expert backup. Robust: a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff.
7. Honest selling. Robust never waives deductibles.

Red flags

Vague answers about your split, extra fees that show up after you sign, and a company that pressures you to promise homeowners things only an insurance carrier can decide. See how a 70/30 split compares with a 50/50.

What the Project Manager role pays

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

The details of how the base and the split work together are covered in the interview, in writing. For the full comparison, see 70/30 vs 50/50.

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.

Side by side with typical roofing pay

These are the plan types you will run into when you interview around Georgia. The comparison columns are general structures, not named companies.

For scale: the JobNimbus Peak Performance report found 20% to be the most common rate among roofing companies that pay commission on profit, and Robust Roofing's 70% is more than triple it.
