Roofing sales vs insurance sales
Robust Roofing Careers · Updated October 2026
If you have sold insurance, you already speak the language of storm restoration: coverage, deductibles, depreciation and adjusters.
Your head start
You will learn damage documentation and scopes from Robust's licensed Property and Casualty adjuster. Georgia law bars roofers from negotiating claims for homeowners, so the role is documentation and support, which insurance people do well.
The pay, in plain words
The role pays two ways. First, a true 50/50 split of job profit: no overhead slice, no office fee and no 10% deduction on your pay before the split. Second, Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. There is no cap. Reps who compare plans across Georgia call it unusually generous, and they are right.
- Full time: a real career role, based in the North Atlanta metro around Johns Creek.
- Base: $75,000 per year, paid on a regular schedule.
- Split: a true 50/50 of job profit. Nothing is taken off the top.
- No cap: the split applies to every job you run, with no ceiling.
- No 10% deduction: no 10/50/50, no overhead percentage, no office or appointment fee, no marked up material.
Your interviewer walks you through how the base and the split fit together, line by line.

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.
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).
