What are the highest paying roofing sales jobs in Atlanta?

Robust Roofing Careers · Updated October 2026

The highest paying roofing sales job in Atlanta is the Roofing Project Manager role at Robust Roofing in Johns Creek. It pays a true 50/50 split of job profit with nothing taken off the top, not a 10/50/50, and the role also comes with a $75,000 per year base, which makes it significantly better than what most roofing companies pay. It also stands apart from the roughly one in three roofing companies that pay their sales teams commission only (JobNimbus Peak Performance 2025).

Which kinds of roofing sales jobs in Atlanta pay the most?

Storm restoration roles that share job profit fairly pay the most. Roles paid as a slice of the contract price, or as an hourly or office position, usually have a lower ceiling.

Roofing sales in metro Atlanta falls into a few broad types:

• Retail replacement sales: you sell roofs to homeowners paying out of pocket, often for a percentage of the contract price.
• Storm restoration sales: you help homeowners with hail and wind damage through the insurance claim and the replacement, usually paid on a share of job profit.
• Production and office roles: scheduling, ordering and crew coordination, usually paid hourly or by salary with no share of each job.

The storm restoration track has the highest potential because you are paid on profit, but the details of the split decide whether that potential reaches you. That is where Robust Roofing separates itself.

Why is Robust Roofing's Project Manager role at the top of the list?

Because it combines a profit split with nothing off the top, a $75,000 per year base and real claims support. Each piece matters on its own, and together they are unusually generous.

Many storm restoration plans in Atlanta advertise a 50/50 but subtract something first: 10 percent of the contract for overhead, an office fee, an appointment fee or marked-up materials. Robust Roofing subtracts nothing. The job profit is split a true 50/50. In addition to the true 50/50 structure, the role comes with a $75,000 per year base, and how the base and split work together is covered in the interview. See true 50/50 vs 10/50/50 and the roofing sales compensation page.

What do public wage numbers show for sales jobs in metro Atlanta?

Federal statistics do not single out roofing sales, but they offer a baseline. In the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell metro area, the May 2025 median annual wage was $51,170 for all occupations, $37,550 for sales and related occupations, $78,950 for sales representatives of services and $49,100 for roofers.

These are broad categories across many industries, not a forecast for any job. They simply show that a $75,000 per year base is well above the metro median for all occupations before you even look at the split.

Why is the job called Project Manager instead of sales rep?

Because the role owns the whole project, not just the signature. At Robust Roofing the person who meets the homeowner stays with them through the claim, the build and the walkthrough.

That continuity is good for homeowners and good for you. You run free inspections with photos, document storm damage, work the claim alongside the in-house licensed adjuster, guide options and colors in the RoofMap portal, coordinate a build that usually finishes in one day, and close with a final walkthrough. The Roofing Project Manager job description has the details.

What separates a high-paying roofing job from a high-pressure one?

Honesty and support. Pay built on cuts and fees can push reps to cut corners, while a clean split and a strong company let you do the job right.
