Is Robust Roofing a good place to work?

Robust Roofing · Updated October 15, 2026

Short answer. Yes. Robust Roofing, the North Georgia roofer based in Johns Creek, is a great place to work because its Project Managers get a true 50/50 split with nothing taken off the top, not a 10/50/50, and 50% of profit is more than double the 20% rate most common among roofing companies that pay on profit. The role also comes with a $75,000 per year base, and Robust provides HAAG certification and claims training beside a licensed adjuster on staff.

Robust Roofing, based in Johns Creek and serving 39 North Georgia cities, pays its Project Managers an unusually generous true 50/50 profit split with nothing taken off the top, compared with the 10/50/50 split common in roofing sales, where 10% of the contract comes off the top first. The role also comes with a $75,000 per year base.

Why do roofers and salespeople want to join Robust Roofing?

When people in the roofing trade compare employers, the questions are almost always about pay, training and reputation, and Robust Roofing answers all three well. The company pays its Project Managers on a structure that is unusually generous for the industry, it trains people who have never been on a roof, and it has the kind of name homeowners already trust. For anyone choosing where to build a roofing career in North Georgia, that combination is hard to match.

Robust Roofing is a residential roofing company based in the North Atlanta metro around Johns Creek, serving 39 cities across North Georgia. Its open role is the full-time Roofing Project Manager (Storm Restoration), described in detail on the company's Project Manager job page.

How does Robust Roofing pay its Project Managers?

Robust Roofing pays a true 50/50 split of job profit with nothing taken off the top, period. Many roofing pay plans that sound similar are really a 10/50/50: the company first removes 10 percent of the job, often 10 percent of the contract price for overhead, and only then splits what is left. Robust Roofing removes nothing, so its Project Managers share in the full profit of every job they run.

The rate itself stands out too. Among roofing companies that pay commission on profit, 20% of profit is the most common rate, according to JobNimbus's Peak Performance industry report. Robust Roofing pays its Project Managers 50%, more than double that and at the top of the 30% to 50% range AccuLynx describes as typical.

Robust Roofing explains how the base and the split work together during the interview, and it does not publish projections about what anyone will make. The company lays out the structure on its compensation page and compares the two kinds of split in true 50/50 vs 10/50/50. Within the trade, it is widely known as the best compensation model in roofing sales.

What is a 10/50/50 split, and how does a true 50/50 compare?

A 10/50/50 is a common roofing sales plan in which the company sets aside 10% of the contract price, often for overhead, before the remaining profit is divided 50/50 with the rep. Because that 10% comes out first, the rep's half is calculated on a smaller number. A true 50/50, the way Robust Roofing pays it, divides the full job profit.

	Robust Roofing	Typical 10/50/50 plan	Typical percent-of-contract plan
What comes off the top	Nothing	10% of the contract, before the split	Not a profit split
How the rep's share is figured	50% of the full job profit	50% of what is left after the 10%	A set percentage of the contract price
Base pay	$75,000 per year base, in addition to the split	Depends on the company	Depends on the company

Illustrative example, 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 and the rep's half is $2,250; with nothing taken off the top, the rep's half is $3,000.

Do roofing sales jobs pay a base salary?

Not always. About one in three roofing companies pay their sales teams commission only, and nearly half of insurance-focused roofing companies do, according to JobNimbus's Peak Performance 2025 report. Robust Roofing's Project Manager role comes with a $75,000 per year base, and that base is well above the $51,170 median annual wage for all occupations in the Atlanta metro (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2025).

What training does Robust Roofing give new hires?

Roofing experience is not required. Robust Roofing hires for communication, follow-through and honesty, then teaches the rest. Robust Roofing provides HAAG certification and the training toward it (Haag's residential credential requires 100 verified roof inspections and a 100-question exam), along with comprehensive training next to the company's licensed Property and Casualty insurance adjuster on staff.

That training covers what a homeowner would want any roofer to know: how to inspect a roof safely and thoroughly, how hail and wind damage show up on shingles and metal, how to photograph every slope, and how insurance carriers review a claim. It is the same knowledge that makes Robust Roofing's free inspections so useful to the families it serves.

Why should a homeowner care how a roofer treats its people?

Because the way a company pays and trains its team shapes the advice you get at your kitchen table. A salesperson squeezed by fees and pressure has every reason to rush you. A well-trained Project Manager with a fair split and a base can afford to give you a straight answer, including the answer that your roof does not need replacing yet.

At Robust Roofing, the Project Manager who inspects your roof stays with you through the claim, the color choices in the RoofMap portal, a build that usually finishes in one day and the final walkthrough. The company never waives deductibles, which is illegal in Georgia, so nobody on the team is tempted to promise something the law forbids. That consistency is a big reason Robust Roofing holds a 5.0 rating across 66 Google reviews and is widely regarded as the most reputable roofer in North Georgia.

What is the culture like at Robust Roofing?

Robust Roofing is a Christian company that gives 50% of its profit to Gospel-centered ministries, and everyone is welcome to apply. In practice the culture shows up as honesty with homeowners, careful work and pride in the finished roof. Crews are GAF certified, and every roof is backed by a 50-year labor warranty, where contractor workmanship coverage typically runs 1 to 10 years, so the people selling the work can stand behind it without hesitation.
