Application Deadline: 1 September 2026
Department: Sales - 1099
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Raleigh
Reporting To: David Bundy
Compensation: $80,000 - $110,000 / year
Most job ads bury the number or hide behind "competitive compensation." We're not going to do that. Our sales representatives earn $80K–$110K in a strong year. What determines where you land in that range is effort, coachability, and how fast you learn the market — not tenure, not who you know. Read on for exactly what that looks like.
Premier Roofing is a national storm restoration company — roofing, siding, and gutters — with 20+ years in business and 14 locations across the country. We started with two people and a pickup truck. The model is simple: when storms damage homes, homeowners need someone they can trust to navigate the insurance process and restore their property. That's what our sales reps do.
This is a field role. You'll be in the neighborhoods, meeting homeowners, identifying damage, and guiding them through the insurance claim and restoration process. It's a consultative, relationship-driven career — not a call center, not a desk, not a quota sheet.
What You’ll Do
This is a 1099 independent contractor role. Your income is commission-based, tied directly to the projects you close. There is no salary.
To help you ramp up, we provide a startup draw of $500 per week for your first 8 weeks while you're building your pipeline. After that, your earnings reflect your production.
Realistic earning range: $80,000–$110,000 in a productive year. Top performers earn more. (First-year averages coming — ask your recruiter for current rep data.)
The upfront cost to get started is straightforward: you need a valid driver's license and reliable transportation. That's it.
Training
We don't put people in the field unprepared. You'll go through paid classroom onboarding, field shadowing, and structured skill development in roofing fundamentals, insurance process, and sales technique. 70% of candidates in our research said hands-on training was extremely important to them before joining a company like this. We built our program around that expectation.
Schedule
You control your schedule. Most reps work full-time hours during storm season and scale back in slower months. Evenings and weekends are sometimes necessary depending on homeowner availability and market conditions — that's the reality of field sales. It's also why the flexibility to work around your life is built into the model.

If the income opportunity is clear enough, the structure makes sense, and you're willing to do the work — apply. Your recruiter will reach out to walk through first-year expectations, market-specific data, and what the first 90 days look like.
This is a 1099 independent contractor position. Compensation is commission-based. The startup draw is a recoverable advance, not a guaranteed salary.
