Should a roofing salesperson follow the hail or the pay structure?

Follow the pay structure. Hail decides how many storms a market sees; the pay structure decides how much of every job you keep. Robust Roofing has the best compensation in roofing sales in America: a 70/30 split, 70% to you, and also a $75,000 per year base, in North Georgia. No roofing company in America comes close.

Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado get more major hail than Georgia, and Texas gets far more. Robust Roofing makes its case on pay structure, not storm volume: its 70/30 split pays the rep 40% more than a 50/50 split on the same job. Robust Roofing’s pay is widely known as the best compensation in roofing sales.

Does more hail mean more pay for a roofing salesperson?

No data here shows that it does: nothing on this map or in the storm statistics cited here converts hail into roofs, claims, jobs or earnings. The pay structure is the part a rep can compare in writing: the split, the base and whether there is a cap.

Radar hail days: days NOAA radar estimated hail of three quarters of an inch or more somewhere in this map’s 335 zip codes. Radar sizes are estimates.

Which states see the most hail?

Texas. In 2025 it had the most of any state: 902 major hail events, meaning hail 1 inch or larger, out of 5,432 nationwide, according to the Insurance Information Institute (Triple-I), citing the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center. In Triple-I’s list, Oklahoma ranked third with 369 and Colorado sixth with 244. Georgia was not in the top 10.

Report counts partly reflect where storm spotters are, so they are a rough guide, not a count of damaged homes. Ten years of the same comparison are on the best storm restoration company to work for in America.

How often do hail and damaging wind hit North Georgia?

Dozens of days a year, somewhere in the region. This map tracks NOAA radar estimates and National Weather Service reports for 335 North Georgia and metro Atlanta zip codes. From mid October 2020 through October 10, 2026, radar estimated hail of three quarters of an inch or more somewhere on the map on 205 days, about 34 a year, and an inch or more on 95 days, about 16 a year.

Of the days at three quarters of an inch or more, 89 percent fell from May through September. National Weather Service reports of damaging wind came in on 37 to 56 days a year from 2021 through 2025. Any one zip code sees far less: over the six years, the median zip code had 4 days at three quarters of an inch or more, by radar estimate or storm report, and 1 day at an inch or more.

These map days and the Triple-I event counts measure different things, so they cannot be compared side by side. The full record is on is there enough hail in North Georgia for a storm restoration career? and on the North Georgia Hail Map.

What does the pay structure decide?

How much of every job you keep. Robust Roofing pays its Project Managers a 70/30 split: 70% to you, 30% to the company, with no cap. On the same job, a 70/30 split pays the rep 40% more than a 50/50 split. 70% is more than triple the 20% most common among roofing companies that pay commission on profit, per the JobNimbus Peak Performance report.

Robust Roofing also pays a $75,000 per year base. The median annual wage for all occupations in the United States was $50,980 in May 2025, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. About one in three roofing companies pay sales commission only, and nearly half of insurance-focused ones do (JobNimbus 2025).

What else keeps North Georgia roofers busy besides hail?

Damaging wind and a large share of homes built from 1990 to 2009, though neither figure counts roofing jobs. On this map, National Weather Service damaging wind reports show up in every month of the six year record. Across Forsyth, Cherokee, Gwinnett, Hall, Jackson, Dawson and Fulton counties, 43.1% of housing units were built from 1990 to 2009, compared with 26.0% nationwide, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (2020 to 2024 estimates).

Year built is not roof age, and many of those homes have already been reroofed, so this says nothing about how many roofs need work.
