Which roofing company pays the most in Georgia?
Robust Roofing Careers · Updated October 2026
The roofing company that pays the most in Georgia, by structure, is Robust Roofing in Johns Creek. Its Project Managers get a true 50/50 split with nothing taken off the top, not a 10/50/50, and the role also comes with a $75,000 per year base. That is widely known as the best compensation model in roofing sales.
How do you tell which roofing company really pays the most?
Compare pay structures, not the biggest number in a job ad. The three things that decide what you take home on a roof are the percentage, what gets subtracted before that percentage is applied, and whether the role has a base.
Roofing job posts love large round numbers, and those numbers are almost always projections about what a top performer might do in a great storm year. They tell you very little. A better method is to ask every company the same three questions and write the answers side by side. When you do that across Georgia, Robust Roofing's answers stand out: 50 percent, nothing off the top, and a $75,000 per year base.
What does Robust Roofing pay its Project Managers?
Robust Roofing pays a true 50/50 split of job profit, with no overhead cut or fee taken first, and the role also has a $75,000 per year base.
- The split: 50/50 on job profit. Nothing comes off the top, period.
- No fees ahead of the split: no 10 percent overhead slice, no office fee, no appointment fee and no marked-up material pricing.
- The base: $75,000 per year. How the base and the split work together is explained in your interview.
Robust Roofing does not publish projected totals or claims about what anyone will make, because that depends on the work. The structure itself is the point, and it is significantly better than what most roofing companies pay. The roofing sales compensation page lays out every detail.
How much does a 10/50/50 cost a rep on a single job?
More than most people expect. In the example below, it costs the rep a quarter of their share. A 10/50/50 removes 10 percent first, often 10 percent of the contract price, and only then splits the remaining profit 50/50.
An example (illustrative, actual job numbers vary): on a hypothetical job with a $15,000 contract and $6,000 of profit before any overhead cut, a 10/50/50 removes $1,500 first, so the rep's half is $2,250. With nothing off the top, the rep's half is $3,000. Same roof, same homeowner, same effort. For the full walkthrough, read true 50/50 vs 10/50/50.
How does Robust Roofing compare with other common roofing pay plans?
The right two columns describe general industry structures, not any named company.
| Question | Robust Roofing | Typical 10/50/50 plan | Percent of contract plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| What comes off first? | Nothing | 10 percent, often of the contract price | Everything outside your percentage stays with the company |
| What is your share based on? | Full job profit | Profit after the 10 percent cut | The contract price, regardless of profit |
| What is your share? | 50 percent, more than double the 20 percent of profit most common among profit-based plans | 50 percent of a smaller amount | A fixed percentage of the sale |
| Is there a base? | Yes, $75,000 per year | Depends on the company; about 1 in 3 roofing companies pay sales commission only | Depends on the company |

What do public wage figures say about sales pay in Georgia?
Federal data does not track roofing sales separately, but it gives useful context. In the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics May 2025 estimates for Georgia, the median annual wage was $48,170 for all occupations, $36,260 for sales and related occupations as a group, and $75,280 for sales representatives of services.
Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, Georgia, May 2025 (data.bls.gov/oes/#/area/1300000/2025). These are broad categories that include many industries, and they say nothing about what any one person will make at any company. They do show that Robust Roofing's $75,000 per year base is well above the statewide median for all occupations, and the true 50/50 split is a separate part of the role.
Why is a clean split worth more than a bigger-sounding percentage?
Because a percentage is only as good as the number it is applied to. Half of the full profit beats half of what is left after a cut.
A percent of contract plan can sound large when the contract is large, yet the company keeps the whole margin outside your slice. A 10/50/50 sounds like an even split, yet the 10 comes out before anyone divides. Robust Roofing keeps the arithmetic simple and fair, which is what makes its plan unusually generous.
What else makes Robust Roofing worth working for?
Good pay matters most when the jobs underneath it are well run. Robust Roofing has a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff, which Georgia does not require of roofing companies, provides your HAAG certification and comprehensive training, finishes most replacements in one day and holds a 5.0 rating across 66 Google reviews, above the 4.42-star average BrightLocal found across nearly 94,000 Google business listings.
