Is it better to be paid on profit or on the contract in roofing?
Short answer. Being paid on profit rewards you for running a clean, well-documented job, while percent of contract pays on the sale price regardless of profit. Which pays more depends on the rate. A true 50/50 of profit, like Robust Roofing pays, is at the top of the range.
Percent of profit plans range widely; 20 percent of profit is the most common (JobNimbus Peak Performance report). Percent of contract plans often sound larger because the contract is larger, but the company keeps the whole margin outside your slice.
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.
