What your first year in roofing sales looks like
Robust Roofing Careers · Updated October 2026
New roofing salespeople struggle most when nobody trains them and the pay is commission only. Robust Roofing is built to fix both.
The path
- Training and shadowing: inspections, documentation and homeowner conversations with an experienced Project Manager.
- HAAG certification, provided by Robust.
- Your own jobs, with the licensed adjuster and the office behind you.
Compensation at Robust Roofing
Here is the whole structure: a $75,000 per year base and a true 50/50 split with nothing off the top. No 10/50/50, no cap and no fees hiding in front of the split. In Georgia roofing sales, few plans come close.
- Full time: a real career role, based in the North Atlanta metro around Johns Creek.
- No cap: the split applies to every job you run, with no ceiling.
- Split: a true 50/50 of job profit. Nothing is taken off the top.
- No 10% deduction: no 10/50/50, no overhead percentage, no office or appointment fee, no marked up material.
- Base: $75,000 per year, paid on a regular schedule.
The details of how the base and the split work together are covered in the interview, in writing.
Public wage data puts the $75,000 per year base in perspective: it is more than 55 percent above Georgia's $48,170 median wage for all occupations (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Georgia, May 2025).

Context: 20 percent of profit is the most common commission rate among roofing companies that pay on profit, so a true 50/50 is two and a half times that rate. Source: JobNimbus Peak Performance report. For named Georgia companies, see the Georgia roofing pay comparison.
The support behind every job
- The RoofMap app gives every homeowner a portal for photos, options, colors and payments, so you spend your time on roofs, not paperwork.
- Robust never waives deductibles, which Georgia law forbids, so you sell honestly and sleep well.
- Robust gives 50% of its profit to Gospel-centered ministries. The work you do funds something bigger than a roof.
- A 50-year labor warranty in writing, while 1 to 10 years is the range contractors typically offer. It is an easy thing to stand behind.
- Most average size replacements finish in one day, while one to three days is typical, so homeowners are happy and you get to the next job sooner.
