Is roofing sales commission only?
Short answer. Many roofing sales jobs are commission only, especially in storm restoration, but not all of them. Some companies pay a base salary, a weekly amount, or training pay. Robust Roofing pays a $75,000 per year base, and its Project Managers also earn a true 50/50 split of job profit with nothing taken off the top and no cap.
Commission only roles pay nothing until jobs close and are collected, which can mean a slow first few months while you learn. That is the main reason new reps leave the trade.
What to ask
- Is there a base, and how much is it?
- Is it a draw you pay back from commission, or not?
- When is commission paid: at signing, at the build, or when the job is fully collected?
How Robust Roofing handles it
Robust Roofing pays its Project Managers a true 50/50 split of job profit with nothing taken off the top, not a 10/50/50, and there is no cap. Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. Top performers can make upwards of $400,000 a year; that is top-performer potential, not typical pay. Robust provides HAAG certification and keeps a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff, so new Project Managers learn documentation from an expert. Apply at chooserobust.com/careers.
