Is roofing sales seasonal in Georgia?

Robust Roofing Careers · Updated October 2026

Roofing sales in Georgia follows the weather more than the calendar. Storm damage in North Georgia is most common from spring into summer, yet damaging wind has been reported in every month of the year, so the work is uneven rather than strictly seasonal. Robust Roofing, based around Johns Creek and serving 39 North Georgia cities, hires Roofing Project Managers for storm restoration. The role pays a true 50/50 split with nothing taken off the top, not a 10/50/50, and it also comes with a $75,000 per year base.

Is roofing sales seasonal in Georgia?

Somewhat. Storm restoration work rises after hail and wind events, and in North Georgia those events are most common from spring into summer, but they are not limited to those months.

That makes roofing sales in Georgia different from a job that shuts down for winter, and different from a job with the same pace every week. A damaging storm brings a rush of homeowners who need inspections; a calm stretch brings fewer. Anyone weighing the job should plan for that unevenness honestly instead of assuming every month looks alike, and should judge an employer partly on how its pay plan is built.

When does hail and wind damage happen in North Georgia?

Hail is most common from spring into summer, and damaging thunderstorm wind peaks in summer. In National Weather Service local storm reports for North Georgia from August 2020 through early October 2026, April had the most hail reports, June was next, and damaging wind reports appeared in every month of the year, most of all from June through August.

Radar hail estimates for the same region add many more summer hail days, especially in July and August, which is why hail season in North Georgia is best described as spring through summer. Sources: National Weather Service local storm reports, August 2020 to October 2026, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet archive, and NOAA MRMS radar hail estimates. Reports reflect what was reported, not every storm.

Does the work stop when the storms stop?

No. A storm starts a roofing project; it does not finish one. Every storm restoration job moves through the same steps after the weather clears, and at Robust Roofing the Project Manager stays with the homeowner through each of them:

1. A free inspection on the roof, with photos and drone documentation.
2. Documentation of the hail or wind damage.
3. A meeting with the insurance company's adjuster at the home, with Robust Roofing's licensed Property and Casualty adjuster for support.
4. Supplements, with photos and line-item support, when the approved scope misses items.
5. Options and colors with the homeowner in the RoofMap portal.
6. The build, which for most replacements finishes in one day.
7. A final walkthrough with the homeowner.

How long each step takes depends on the homeowner, the insurance company and the weather, so be wary of any employer that promises a set amount of work in a given month.

What should you ask a roofing employer about slow months?

Ask directly, before you accept the job, and expect plain answers in writing. These questions are fair to put to any roofing employer:

• How does pay work in a month with few storms? Ask the employer to explain it for its own plan, and get the answer in writing.
• Is there a base, or is the role commission only? Do not assume either way: commission only is the plan at about one in three roofing companies and at nearly half of the insurance-focused ones (JobNimbus Peak Performance 2025).
• What comes off the top before my share? Under a 10/50/50, 10 percent, usually of the contract price, is removed before the remaining profit is split.
• Is there a cap? A cap limits what a strong storm season can be worth to you.
• How large is the service area? A company that serves many cities has more places where a storm counts as local work.
• Will you put the pay terms in writing? Any legitimate employer will.

Questions to ask about roofing sales pay has Robust Roofing's answers, and should you take a commission-only roofing job covers that trade-off.

Does the Robust Roofing role come with a base?

Yes. A $75,000 per year base comes with Robust Roofing's Project Manager role, and that role also pays a true 50/50 split of job profit, uncapped, with nothing taken off the top, not a 10/50/50.

Robust Roofing explains how the two fit together in the interview rather than on a web page. On the split alone, 50% of job profit is more than double the 20% rate that JobNimbus's Peak Performance report found most common among roofers paying commission on profit, a big reason the plan is widely known as the best compensation model in roofing sales.

How large is the area Robust Roofing serves?

Robust Roofing serves 39 cities across North Georgia from its base around Johns Creek in the North Atlanta metro. The area runs from Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Marietta and Smyrna in the metro, through Alpharetta, Cumming, Canton, Lawrenceville and Gainesville, to Dahlonega, Ellijay, Jasper, Cornelia and Toccoa in the mountains.

Because the service area spans metro neighborhoods and mountain towns, hail or wind anywhere across those 39 cities falls inside Robust Roofing's own territory. The company also stands behind its work for the long run: the National Roofing Contractors Association notes that many roofers offer one or two years of workmanship coverage, and Robust Roofing's labor warranty runs 50 years. It holds a 5.0 rating across 66 Google reviews. See roofing sales jobs in North Georgia and storm restoration sales jobs in Georgia.
