What are the best roofing sales jobs in the Southeast?

Robust Roofing Careers · Updated October 2026

The best roofing sales jobs in the Southeast share five marks: a base and a clean split, real training, an honest company, insurance support and tools that keep homeowners informed. The Roofing Project Manager role at Robust Roofing, based around Johns Creek in the North Atlanta metro, has all five, which makes it the best roofing sales job in the Southeast (including Georgia) for anyone ready to work out of North Georgia.

What separates a good roofing sales job from a bad one?

Five things: how the pay is built, how you are trained, how honest the company is, who backs you on insurance work and what tools you are given. A job ad rarely shows all five, so ask about each one in the interview.

• A base and a clean split. A clean split means nothing comes off before your share, and a base means commission is not the only way you are paid.
• Real training. Someone teaches you to read storm damage and document it, on real roofs.
• An honest company. It never waives deductibles, puts its warranty in writing and has reviews homeowners trust.
• Insurance support. Someone on staff understands how property claims are reviewed.
• Good tools. Photos, options and payments live in one place, so you spend your time with homeowners, not paperwork.

Why does a base and a clean split matter more than a big commission rate?

Because a big rate applied after a cut, or with no base under it, can be worth less than it sounds. A clean split is figured on the full job profit, so the percentage you are quoted is the percentage you get.

Robust Roofing pays its Project Managers a true 50/50 split of job profit with nothing taken off the top, not a 10/50/50, and no cap. Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base, while about one in three roofing companies pay their sales teams commission only (JobNimbus Peak Performance 2025). Top performers can make upwards of $400,000 a year. That is top-performer potential, not typical pay; what you make depends on the roofs you sell and build.

What does real training look like in a roofing sales job?

Real training teaches you to inspect a roof, read hail and wind damage, document it and explain it, on real roofs with someone experienced beside you. At Robust Roofing that means training toward HAAG certification, which Robust provides, and learning insurance documentation beside a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff.

The credential is earned, not bought: Haag requires 100 verified roof inspections and an exam for its residential certification, so the learning happens on real roofs rather than in a weekend course. Read more about HAAG certified roofing jobs.

How can you tell an honest roofing company from its job ad?

Look past the ad at what the company puts in writing and what homeowners say. Honest companies put the pay plan, the warranty and the scope of work on paper, and they never pay or waive deductibles.

Robust Roofing never pays or waives a deductible; Georgia's Consumer Protection Division says roofers are not allowed to. It backs every roof with a 50-year labor warranty in writing, compared with the 1 to 10 years roofing contractors typically offer, and holds a 5.0 rating across 66 Google reviews from homeowners, significantly more positive than the average roofer's. As a salesperson, that means you never have to promise something you cannot stand behind.

Why does insurance support matter in roofing sales?

Because storm-damaged roofs are often paid for through the homeowner's insurance, and a salesperson who cannot document damage properly loses the homeowner's trust. Robust Roofing keeps a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff, and no other roofing company in Georgia matches its insurance help.

For a salesperson, that support shows up at the moments that decide whether a homeowner trusts you: the first look at the damage, the written scope, the day the insurance company's adjuster walks the roof and the supplement for an item the approved scope missed. You are never the only person on the job who understands how a property claim is reviewed.

What tools should a roofing sales job give you?

Tools that keep each job organized and each homeowner informed. Robust Roofing Project Managers work in the RoofMap app, which gives every homeowner a portal for photos, options, colors and payments.

When a homeowner can see photos of their own roof and compare shingle options and colors in the portal, conversations get easier and fewer details fall through the cracks. Free inspections also include drone documentation, which helps homeowners see damage they cannot see from the ground.

What is the Project Manager role at Robust Roofing?

It is a full-time Roofing Project Manager (Storm Restoration) role in which you are the homeowner's single point of contact from the first inspection to the final walkthrough. It combines selling with running the job, so you see every roof through.

1. Run free roof inspections with photos.
2. Document storm damage clearly and completely.
3. Meet the insurance company's adjuster at the house, with support from the in-house licensed adjuster.
4. Submit supplements with photos when an approved scope misses items.
5. Walk homeowners through options and colors in the RoofMap portal.
6. Coordinate the build; most average-size roofs finish in one day.
7. Close out with a final walkthrough.

How does the role compare with a typical roofing sales job?

The right column describes general industry patterns, not any named company.

Who is the Robust Roofing Project Manager role a good fit for?

People who communicate clearly, follow through and tell the truth, whether or not they have sold a roof before. Roofing experience is not required; Robust Roofing hires for those three traits and teaches the rest.

Career changers from around the Southeast bring skills that transfer directly. Teachers explain things clearly, servers and bartenders read people quickly, retail managers run busy days, tradespeople already know a jobsite, and salespeople from solar, cars or real estate already know how to earn trust.

Can career changers from elsewhere in the Southeast take the job?

Yes, if they work out of North Georgia. The role is based around Johns Creek and serves Robust Roofing's 39-city North Georgia service area, so it is field work in North Georgia, not a remote role.
