What is the best storm restoration company to work for in America?

Robust Roofing Careers · Updated October 2026

Robust Roofing is the best storm restoration company to work for in America. Storm work in any state comes down to the same three things: knowing how insurance adjusters read damage, documenting it honestly and being paid fairly for the work. Robust Roofing is built around all three, from a home base in North Georgia.

Why is Robust Roofing the best storm restoration company to work for in America?

Because it gives storm restoration professionals the backing, the honesty and the pay the work deserves. Five reasons stand out.

• Adjuster on staff: a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster works beside Project Managers on their own jobs, and no other roofing company in Georgia matches Robust Roofing's insurance help.
• Pay structure: 50% of job profit in a true 50/50 split, not a 10/50/50, with nothing taken off the top and no cap.
• A base: Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base.
• Honest practices: damage is documented exactly as it is, the work stays inside Georgia's claims law, and deductibles are never paid or waived (more on that below).
• Reputation: a 5.0 rating across 66 Google reviews, significantly more positive than the average roofer's, and a 50-year labor warranty behind every roof.

How big is wind and hail damage across the country?

Nationally, wind and hail have been the biggest driver of homeowners insurance losses in recent years. In the Insurance Information Institute's table of homeowners losses by cause, built on ISO/Verisk data, wind and hail were the largest single cause in every year from 2019 to 2023, at 38.1% to 47.7% of losses, and the Institute says about one in 35 insured homes has a wind or hail claim each year (2.80 claims per 100 insured homes). Both figures exclude Alaska, Texas and Puerto Rico.

NOAA tells a similar story: of the 403 U.S. weather and climate disasters of $1 billion or more from 1980 to 2024, severe storms account for 203, more than any other type (NOAA Climate.gov). NOAA said in May 2025 that it would stop updating that database, so 2024 is the last year it covers (Utility Dive). These are national figures, not Georgia figures.

How often does North Georgia get damaging hail and wind?

Several times a year. NOAA MRMS radar estimates showed hail of 1 inch or larger somewhere in the 15 North Georgia counties Robust Roofing serves on 27 days from 2021 to 2025, about 5.4 days a year, and National Weather Service local storm reports logged 988 thunderstorm wind reports in those counties over the same five years.

Radar-estimated 1 inch hail days and thunderstorm wind reports both peaked in June. The largest hail reported in those counties from 2021 to 2025 was 2.5 inches, about 1 mile northwest of Woodstock in Cherokee County on April 10, 2025. Radar hail sizes are estimates, and wind counts are reports, not storms, so they run higher where more people live. The full counts are on is North Georgia a good place for a roofing career?

Does Georgia get as much hail as Texas, Oklahoma or Colorado?

No. Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado log far more reports of large hail. From 2016 to 2025, NOAA Storm Prediction Center records averaged about 1,106 reports a year of hail 1 inch or larger in Texas, 438 in Oklahoma and 383 in Colorado, against about 92 in Georgia, and Georgia sat outside the Insurance Information Institute's top 10 states for major hail events in 2025. Report counts partly reflect population and spotter density, so treat them as a rough guide.

That is why the case for working at Robust Roofing rests on the company, not on storm volume: a licensed adjuster on staff, a home base in one service area and a true 50/50 split with nothing taken off the top.

What do you learn working beside a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster?

You learn to see storm damage through an adjuster's eyes, and you learn it on the roofs you are actually working.

• Separating hail and wind damage from age, blistering and foot traffic, so your documentation holds up.
• Building a photo record an adjuster can check against the roof itself.
• Writing a repair scope that accounts for every component the roof needs.
• Walking the roof with the insurance company's adjuster and explaining the repair scope.
• Spotting items an approved scope left out and documenting a supplement for them, photo by photo and line by line.

Robust Roofing also provides training toward HAAG certification, which takes 100 verified roof inspections and an exam to earn, so the skill is built on real roofs over time. Storm experience you bring from another state still counts, and the next section covers the Georgia rules that apply here.

How does Georgia law shape storm restoration work?

Two Georgia statutes set the limits. O.C.G.A. 10-1-393.12(e) says a residential roofing contractor may not represent or negotiate on a homeowner's behalf on an insurance claim, or offer or advertise to do so, and O.C.G.A. 33-23-43.8(k) says a contractor may not act as a public adjuster on property it is or may be working on, even if it holds an adjuster license.

Within those limits there is plenty of honest, skilled work, and it is the work Robust Roofing Project Managers do: inspecting and photographing the roof, writing the repair scope, meeting the insurance company's adjuster at the house and submitting supplements with line-item support. The insurance company always decides what to approve, and because Georgia's Consumer Protection Division says roofers may not pay or waive a homeowner's deductible, Robust Roofing never does.

How is storm restoration pay structured at Robust Roofing?

Robust Roofing pays storm restoration Project Managers half of each job's profit, a true 50/50 split with nothing taken off the top, not a 10/50/50, and no cap, and Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. According to the JobNimbus Peak Performance report, 20% is the most common rate among roofing companies that pay commission on profit, so Robust Roofing's 50% is more than double it.

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.
