What makes a good roofing company to work for?

Robust Roofing Careers · Updated October 2026

Every roofing company says it is a great place to work. Here is a checklist you can actually test in an interview, and how Robust Roofing answers it.

The checklist

1. Nothing off the top. Ask what is subtracted before your share. Robust: nothing.
2. A real base. Robust: $75,000 per year.
3. No cap. Robust: none.
4. Training and certification. Robust: HAAG certification and comprehensive training.
5. Expert backup. Robust: a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff.
6. Honest selling. Robust never waives deductibles.

Red flags

Vague answers about fees, a split figured after a "small" overhead cut, marked up material pricing, and a company that pressures you to promise homeowners things only an insurance carrier can decide. See hidden fees in roofing sales pay.

What the Project Manager role pays

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.
• Base: $75,000 per year, paid on a regular schedule.
• 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.
• Split: a true 50/50 of job profit. Nothing is taken off the top.

The details of how the base and the split work together are covered in the interview, in writing.

For scale, the statewide median wage for all occupations in Georgia was $48,170 and the median for sales representatives of services was $75,280 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Georgia, May 2025). Robust Roofing's base alone is in line with that sales median, and the true 50/50 split is a separate part of the role.

Side by side with typical roofing pay

These are the plan types you will run into when you interview around Georgia. The comparison columns are general structures, not named companies.

For scale: the JobNimbus Peak Performance report found 20 percent of profit to be the most common rate among profit-based plans. A true 50/50 is more than double it, two and a half times to be exact. Named Georgia companies are compared on the roofing pay comparison page.
