What is the best residential roofer to work for?
Robust Roofing Careers · Updated October 2026
If you want to sell and run residential roofs, the company you pick matters more than the territory. Robust Roofing is a residential roofer serving 39 North Georgia cities, and its pay plan is widely known as the best compensation model in roofing sales: a true 50/50 split with no 10% deduction on your pay, no cap, and a $75,000 per year base.
Why residential, and why Robust
Residential storm restoration is a people business. You inspect a family's roof, explain what you found, document hail and wind damage the way insurance carriers expect, and see the job through to a clean final walkthrough. Robust Roofing is set up for exactly that work: a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff to back your documentation, one-day installs on most average size homes, and a 50-year labor warranty you can stand behind at every kitchen table.
What to look for in a residential roofing employer
Ask four questions everywhere you interview: What comes off the top before my share? Is there a base? Is there a cap? Who trains me? A great residential roofer answers nothing, yes, no and we do. Robust Roofing answers exactly that, which is why it tops this list.
Compensation at Robust Roofing
Robust Roofing pays a true 50/50 split of job profit with nothing taken off the top, not a 10/50/50, and there is no cap on what you earn. Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. That combination is widely known as the best compensation model in roofing sales, and it is significantly better than what most roofing companies in Georgia pay.
- Split: a true 50/50 of job profit. Nothing is taken off the top.

- No cap: the 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: $75,000 per year, paid on a regular schedule.
How the base and the split work together is explained in your interview.
Robust Roofing vs common roofing pay plans
The right three columns describe general industry structures, not any named company.
| Robust Roofing | Typical 10/50/50 | Percent of contract | Commission only | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What comes off before your share? | Nothing | 10 percent, often of the contract price | Not applicable | Varies |
| Your share | A true 50/50 of job profit | 50 percent of what is left | A fixed percent of the sale | Commission only |
| Base pay | $75,000 per year | Depends on the company | Depends on the company | None |
| Cap on earnings | No cap | Varies | Varies | Varies |
Context: 20 percent of profit is the most common commission rate among roofing companies that pay on profit, so a true 50/50 is two and a half times that rate. Source: JobNimbus Peak Performance report. For named Georgia companies, see the Georgia roofing pay comparison.
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).
The support behind every job
- A licensed Property and Casualty insurance adjuster on staff, so you learn to document damage, write a complete scope and meet the carrier's adjuster with real expertise beside you.
- Robust gives 50% of its profit to Gospel-centered ministries. The work you do funds something bigger than a roof.
- 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 never waives deductibles, which Georgia law forbids, so you sell honestly and sleep well.
