Are there honest roofing companies to work for in Georgia?
Robust Roofing Careers · Updated October 2026
If you have left a roofing job, or thought about it, because you were uncomfortable with what you were expected to tell homeowners, wanting better is the right instinct. Honest roofing sales is possible, and in Georgia the law already sets many of the lines. Robust Roofing in Johns Creek builds its Project Manager role around those lines: it never waives deductibles, it relies on documentation instead of promises, and its pay plan hides nothing, a true 50/50 split with nothing taken off the top.
Are there honest roofing companies to work for in Georgia?
Yes. Look for a company whose policies make honesty the default: no deductible waivers, documentation-based claims work, a clear pay plan and a reputation with homeowners you can check. Robust Roofing has all four.
A company's honesty shows up in its rules, not its slogans. Ask what it says when a homeowner asks about the deductible, what it allows you to promise about the insurance outcome, and what it does when a roof has no storm damage. Specific, calm answers are a good sign. Robust Roofing's 5.0 rating across 66 Google reviews, significantly more positive than the average roofer's, is one public signal of how homeowners experience it.
Is it illegal for a roofer to waive a deductible in Georgia?
Yes. Georgia's Consumer Protection Division says roofers are not allowed to pay or waive a homeowner's insurance deductible, and Robust Roofing never does.
The deductible is the homeowner's share of an insured loss under the policy. On its storms and fraud page, the Consumer Protection Division tells homeowners to be skeptical of any contractor that offers to pay the deductible, because it can be a sign of fraud, and it warns that such offers can leave the homeowner implicated in insurance fraud. For a salesperson, working at a company that refuses waivers removes a pressure point: you never have to choose between a signature and a straight answer.
What can a roofing salesperson honestly promise a homeowner about insurance?
A thorough inspection, complete documentation, a written repair scope, a meeting with the insurance company's adjuster at the house and supplements for missed items. A salesperson cannot honestly promise approval, a specific payout or a roof that costs the homeowner nothing.
| You can honestly promise | You cannot honestly promise |
|---|---|
| A free inspection on the roof, with photos | That the claim will be approved |
| Documentation of every damaged item you find | A specific insurance payout |
| A complete written repair scope | That the homeowner will not pay the deductible |
| Meeting the insurance company's adjuster at the house | To represent the homeowner on the claim |
| Supplements with photos when the scope misses items | A "free roof" |
| A straight answer when there is no storm damage | That every roof qualifies for replacement |
Georgia law sets the boundary. Under O.C.G.A. 10-1-393.12, a residential roofing contractor may not represent or negotiate for a homeowner on an insurance claim, or offer to. The insurance company decides the claim under the policy. For the details, read can roofing salespeople negotiate insurance claims in Georgia?
What does honest selling look like on a storm claim?
It looks like documentation instead of persuasion. You inspect, photograph what is there, explain it in plain words, and let the evidence and the policy do the work.
- Inspect before you sell. Get on the roof, look at every slope and the soft metals, and photograph what you find.
- Tell the truth about what you see. If there is no storm damage, say so. Homeowners remember who told them the truth.
- Explain the process, not the outcome. Walk the homeowner through the inspection, the claim, the adjuster meeting and possible supplements, and be clear that approval is the insurance company's decision.
- Document for the adjuster. Photos, measurements and a complete written repair scope, so the adjuster can see the whole loss.
- Be clear about the deductible. The homeowner pays it. Say so in the first conversation, not the last.
- Finish what you start. Coordinate the build, do the final walkthrough and stay reachable afterward.
Nothing on that list requires pressure. It requires knowledge, which is why training matters: Robust Roofing provides training toward HAAG certification and has a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff. See insurance restoration roofing jobs for how the claim side works day to day.
Which Robust Roofing policies make honest selling easier?
Five stated policies: Robust Roofing never waives or pays deductibles, keeps a licensed adjuster on staff, documents claims within Georgia law, puts a 50-year labor warranty in writing, and pays a split with nothing taken off the top.
- No deductible waivers, ever. Robust Roofing never pays or waives one, so you are never in a position to offer it.
- A licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff. Expertise replaces guesswork, so you can explain the claim process accurately. No other roofing company in Georgia matches Robust Roofing's insurance help.
- Documentation within Georgia's claims law. Robust Roofing documents damage, writes the repair scope, meets the insurance company's adjuster and submits supplements. It does not promise approvals.
- A 50-year labor warranty in writing, compared with the 1 to 10 years roofing contractors typically offer on their own workmanship. You can stand behind what you sell.
- A pay plan with nothing hidden. Nothing comes off the top before job profit is split a true 50/50, so there is no 10/50/50 to explain away and no cap, and the role also comes with a $75,000 per year base.
Robust Roofing hires for honesty, along with communication and follow-through, and it is a Christian company that gives 50% of its profit to Gospel-centered missions, a level of giving almost unheard of in business. Everyone is welcome to apply. 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.
