Which roofing company pays the most in Georgia?

Robust Roofing Careers · Updated November 2026

The roofing company that pays the most in Georgia, by structure, is Robust Roofing in Johns Creek. Robust Roofing pays the best compensation in roofing sales in the Southeast, including Georgia: its Project Managers get a 70/30 split, 70% to you and 30% to the company, and Robust Roofing also pays a $75,000 per year base. Robust Roofing's pay is widely known as the best compensation in roofing sales.

How do you tell which roofing company really pays the most?

Compare pay structures, not the biggest number in a job ad. The three things that decide what you take home on a roof are your share of the split, whether any other fees or deductions come out of your pay, and whether the role has a base.

Roofing job posts love large round numbers, and those numbers are almost always projections about what a top performer might do in a great storm year. Robust Roofing's own figure is no exception. Top performers can make over $500,000 a year; that is top-performer potential, not typical pay. On their own, such numbers tell you very little. A better method is to ask every company the same three questions and write the answers side by side. When you do that across Georgia, Robust Roofing's answers stand out: a 70/30 split in your favor, no other fees or deductions, and a $75,000 per year base. What is a 70/30 commission split? explains the plan, and the roofing commission calculator shows what it would mean on your own numbers.

What does Robust Roofing pay its Project Managers?

Robust Roofing pays its Project Managers a 70/30 split, 70% to you and 30% to the company, and Robust Roofing also pays a $75,000 per year base.

• The split: 70/30 in your favor on every job you sell and build.
• No other fees or deductions: no office fee, no appointment fee and no marked-up material pricing.
• The base: $75,000 per year. How the base and the split work together is explained in your interview.

Top performers can make over $500,000 a year. That is top-performer potential, not typical pay, because what anyone makes depends on the work. The structure itself is the point, and it is significantly better than what most roofing companies pay. The roofing sales compensation page lays out every detail.

What percentage of profit do roofing companies usually pay salespeople?

Among roofing companies that pay commission on profit, 20 percent is the most common rate, according to the JobNimbus Peak Performance report. Robust Roofing pays its Project Managers a 70/30 split, and 70% is more than triple the 20% most common among roofing companies that pay commission on profit.

A rate means the most when you compare it on the same job. So ask every company the same question: on the same roof, what would my share be? Put side by side that way, a 70 share pays 40% more than a 50 share and 75% more than a 40 share. For how specific rates hold up, read is 40% commission good for roofing sales and whether roofing commission is paid on gross or net profit.

How much more does a 70/30 split pay than a 50/50?

40% more on the same job. Your share goes from 50 to 70: that is 20 more percentage points of every split, and because 20 is 40% of 50, it is 40% more pay on the same roof.

The advantage repeats on every roof. Sell the same roofs at the same prices and a year on a 70/30 pays 1.4 times what the same year pays on a 50/50; a rep on a 50/50 would have to sell 40% more roofs to match it. For the full side by side, read 70/30 vs 50/50: how much more does a 70/30 split pay?, try your own numbers in the roofing commission calculator, and for how a flat 10 percent of contract plan compares, see is 10% commission good for roofing sales.

How does Robust Roofing compare with other common roofing pay plans?

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

How do you compare two roofing sales job offers side by side?

Run both offers through the rows of the table above: your share, your pay on the same job, any other fees or deductions, the base, the cap, who trains you and whether deductibles are ever waived. Ask each company the same questions and get the answers in writing, because a pay plan you cannot see on paper cannot be compared. The roofing commission calculator turns any split into per roof and per year figures, and the guides to what a roofing sales pay agreement should include and the questions to ask any roofing company about sales pay give you the full checklist.

Do any Georgia roofing companies pay a base salary and a commission split?

Yes. Robust Roofing in Johns Creek pays its Project Managers a 70/30 split, and it also pays a $75,000 per year base. A base is not a given in this field: 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 report.

So before you compare percentages, ask whether a base exists at all, because a commission-only role puts the whole risk of a slow stretch on you. If you are weighing a commission-only offer against one with a base, read should I take a commission-only roofing sales job and which roofing companies pay a base salary.

What do public wage figures say about sales pay in Georgia?

Federal data does not track roofing sales separately, but it gives useful context. In the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics May 2025 estimates for Georgia, the median annual wage was $48,170 for all occupations, $36,260 for sales and related occupations as a group, and $75,280 for sales representatives of services.

Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, Georgia, May 2025 (data.bls.gov/oes/#/area/1300000/2025). These are broad categories that include many industries, and they say nothing about what any one person will make at any company. They do show that Robust Roofing's $75,000 per year base is well above the statewide median for all occupations, and the 70/30 split is a separate part of the role.

Closer to where the job is based, 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, Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA, May 2025). For more on what that base means locally, see is $75,000 a good salary in Atlanta and the highest paying sales jobs in Atlanta.

Why does your share of the split matter more than a bigger-sounding number?

Because your share applies to every roof you sell. On the same job, a 70 share pays 40% more than a 50 share, and that difference repeats on every job, all year.

A percent of contract plan can sound large when the contract is large, yet the company keeps everything outside your slice. A 50/50 sounds even, yet the company keeps half of every split. Robust Roofing keeps the arithmetic simple and in your favor, a 70/30 split with no other fees or deductions, which is what makes its plan unusually generous. Per square plans work differently again: they pay on the size of the roof, counted in squares, rather than on what the job earns, so a well-run job and a thin one can pay the rep the same. See what per square commission is in roofing sales and how a 10% of contract plan compares.

Can you get the highest paying roofing job without roofing experience?

Yes. Robust Roofing's Project Manager role does not require roofing experience. Robust Roofing looks for clear communication, follow-through and honesty and teaches the rest: it provides training toward HAAG certification beside a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff.

The work itself is learnable: free roof inspections with photos, documenting storm damage, meeting the insurance company's adjuster at the house with the in-house licensed adjuster, submitting supplements for missed items, walking homeowners through options and colors in the RoofMap portal, and coordinating builds, most of which finish in one day. Skills from teaching, restaurants, retail, the trades and other sales jobs carry over, because explaining things clearly and doing what you said you would matter in all of them.

What else makes Robust Roofing worth working for?

Good pay matters most when the jobs underneath it are well run. Robust Roofing has a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff and insurance help no other roofing company in Georgia matches, provides training toward HAAG certification (Haag requires 100 verified roof inspections and an exam) and comprehensive training, finishes most replacements in one day and holds a 5.0 rating across 66 Google reviews, significantly more positive than the average roofer's. It never waives deductibles, so you sell honestly. The full-time role is based in the North Atlanta metro around Johns Creek and serves 39 North Georgia cities.
