Seeking an Experienced Roofing Sales Representative - 1099 Independent Contractor | Commission-Based | Earning Potential $100k+
About the Role
Dr. Roof is growing the Huntsville market and seeks a seasoned, entrepreneurial Roofing Sales Representative to generate business, inspect roofs, diagnose leaks, meet adjusters, and close replacement and repair work. This is a high-commission, 1099 opportunity for a self-starter who sells in the field: you get on roofs, create your own leads, and build a book of business.
This role is ideal for a driven, field-focused seller with hands-on roofing experience - for example, a construction or roofing project manager, former roofing or exterior remodeling business owner, roofing crew leader, or a handyman specializing in exterior repairs (including roofing). You understand roof systems, can safely inspect and diagnose problems, have a history of closing jobs or running crews, and want independence with high earning potential while still enjoying operational and administrative support from an established team.
What’s in It for You
- True uncapped commission (typical plan ~9–11% of job revenue/gross margin; example: $135k revenue ~$12k/month at ~9%).
- Earning potential exceeds $100,000+ for motivated performers. (We already have a top-performer earning this in the market with plenty of room for growth.)
- Warm leads provided by Dr. Roof through digital marketing support (FB, PPC, LSA) and billboard presence.
- $500/month allowance for vehicle use; or wrapped company truck available for proven candidate
- Office space provided.
- Local training and support 2–3 days/week plus remote leadership. Regular team sales meetings.
- Access to estimating support, production handoff, and operations resources. Flexible schedule and independence.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead split: about 50% company-provided leads and 50% salesperson-created leads through networking, referrals, door-knocking around warm leads, realtor/insurance relationships. You will be expected to match each company lead with at least one self-generated lead.
- Conduct roof inspections (residential & commercial), document findings, diagnose leaks and system failures; climb roofs safely.
- Meet with homeowners, property managers, and adjusters; prepare and present estimates and proposals.
- Perform minor roof repairs when appropriate; coordinate with production for replacements.
- Maintain accurate CRM records and follow-up cadence.
KPIs / Performance Targets
- Leads per month: Work a minimum of 30 (about half provided by company, half self-generated).
- Close rate: target 30% (9-10 sales/month).
- Average ticket and margin-driven commission; goal alignment to reach six-figure earnings.
Who You Are (Required)
- 7+ years selling (roofing, construction, restoration, or home improvement sales) with strong closing history.
- Comfortable and experienced going on roofs; can inspect and diagnose roofing issues.
- Impeccable communicator - proactive, transparent updates multiple times a day when needed.
- Self-motivated, entrepreneurial, willing to knock on doors from warm leads and expand pipelines.
- Attend networking meetings or opportunities (e.g., BNI, Chamber of Commerce, or similar groups).
- Required for job purposes: valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
- Must maintain Workers’ Compensation and General Liability insurance. Professional appearance and demeanor required.
- Able to work as a 1099 contractor.
Preferred
- Existing local network (homeowners, realtors, property managers, insurance agents).
- Experience with insurance claims, storm damage, and adjuster meetings.
- Prior commission-based sales success.
