Job description

Elevation Restoration, Inc.

Roofing Outside Sales Representative

Location: Lake in the Hills, IL, with field work at customer properties throughout the Chicagoland area and surrounding suburbs

Work arrangement: In-person; field-based sales with a self-managed schedule

Build your own pipeline. Choose your pay structure. Earn $100,000 - $300,000 in annual commission-based OTE.

Bring your sales experience to a company where you can work directly with the owner, take ownership of your customer relationships, and build toward field sales leadership. Choose between commission-only compensation or base pay plus commission, depending on what works best for you.

Elevation Restoration, Inc. is a family-oriented exterior restoration company serving homeowners with roofing, siding, gutters, and storm damage restoration. Our founder brings years of construction and restoration experience and remains actively involved in the field. We value honest communication, quality work, and taking care of customers from the first conversation through the completed project.

About the Role

You'll generate business, inspect properties, explain restoration options, and guide homeowners through their projects. This opportunity fits a salesperson who enjoys meeting people, follows through consistently, and is ready to build a pipeline through direct outreach and referrals. Roofing experience is helpful, but it is not required. Experience selling solar, pest control, vehicles, or other products and services can translate well to this role.

You'll manage your schedule around prospecting, homeowner appointments, inspections, and project visits. Business is busiest during spring, summer, and fall, with a winter slowdown; the company typically winds down around Christmas. Field work includes local travel, outdoor conditions, carrying ladders, and accessing roofs when safe. The team also uses drones and other inspection tools when appropriate.

Key Responsibilities

• Generate leads through door-to-door outreach, referrals, and consistent follow-up.
• Build relationships with homeowners in storm-affected neighborhoods and other service areas.
• Inspect roofing, siding, and gutters to identify damage and potential project needs.
• Use company inspection and roof measurement tools to support project assessments.
• Explain available services and help homeowners understand the proposed scope of work.
• Address questions and objections honestly and professionally.
• Follow up with prospects and customers to keep projects moving.
• Attend project builds and coordinate with the team to support the customer experience.
• Develop your sales skills, with opportunities to help train others as you gain experience.

Required Qualifications

• Previous sales experience and confidence starting conversations with new customers.
• Willingness to generate your own leads, including door-to-door prospecting.
• Strong organization, time management, and follow-through.
• Honest communication, reliability, and a consistent work ethic.
• Ability to perform field inspections, carry a ladder, and access roofs safely, with reasonable accommodation where applicable.

Preferred Qualifications

• Roofing, siding, storm restoration, construction, or trades experience.
• Outside sales or door-to-door sales experience.
• Experience coaching salespeople or leading a field sales team.

Pay and Benefits

Choose the compensation option that fits your goals:

• Commission-only: $100,000 - $300,000 annual on-target earnings for full-time sales effort. This is performance-based earning potential, not a guaranteed salary.
• Base pay plus commission: A base-pay option with a lower commission percentage. The base amount and commission terms will be discussed during the hiring process.

Your compensation can be reviewed as you demonstrate results. You do not have to wait for an annual review to discuss an increase or a change in pay structure; adjustments depend on performance and agreement with the company

Additional opportunities and support include:

• Weekly draws against future commissions may be available based on demonstrated effort and progress.
• Performance bonuses and sales competitions, with opportunities for trip incentives.
• Potential to earn use of a company vehicle based on individual performance.
• Opportunities to advance into field sales management and team training.
• Direct access to an owner who works alongside the team.

*Commission-only opportunities are structured through a subcontractor agreement; agreement and compensation details will be reviewed during hiring.

Why Join Elevation Restoration, Inc.?

• Join a close-knit team where honesty, accountability, and customer care matter.
• Work with an experienced owner who understands the challenges of field sales and stays involved in daily operations.
• Help homeowners restore and protect their properties while building lasting customer relationships.
• As the company grows, strong performance can open opportunities to train others and lead a field sales team.
