I know how stressful and risky it can be to choose a roofing company to work for.
You want to make sure they will actually pay you, fulfill your builds, and not make you look bad!
A local, longstanding national company and owner I can confidently recommend is JA Edwards of America by Jordan Edwards.
They’ve been in business since 2010, do around $40M/year, and employ 110+ reps at physical offices in Tampa, Jacksonville, Orlando, West Palm Beach, Charlotte, Raleigh, and are expanding to other locations.
✔️ They have an open book policy on accounting
✔️ Pay their salespeople up to a competitive 5/50/50 split of profit including a 10% draw of the first collected check
✔️ Full in-house supplement support (reps earn commission on the TOTAL RCV including supplements)
✔️ Reps are paid weekly.
✔️ Full in-house backend office support deals with the builds, permits, materials, crews, and overall production.
✔️ Sales Managers earn 5/50/50 on all personal sales plus a 5/30-35% split on overrides of salespeople they bring on underneath them.
✔️ Reps sign deals, meet the adjuster, collect checks, and get the final contracts signed. In-house support does everything else.
✔️ $1M annual sales bonus: $5,000 bonus plus 1% for all sales above that for the rest of the year
✔️ Contests, bonuses, golf tournaments, team building activities, fun & tomfoolery
JA Edwards has developed a strong brand and reputation in their markets for high end homes (which means larger average job sizes & larger commissions for reps).
CEO Teddy Sandlin says,
“We have a heart to do right by people. We build the roofs we sell, we do what we say we’re going to do, we pay the people who work for us, we have true open book accounting — all the stuff that should be basic but cause most of the issues in the industry. We’re not doing shotgun roofs; we’re doing higher end homes, tile, and for homeowners who have seen a $50,000 check before.”
That's why I feel not only comfortable but confident recommending JA Edwards of America as a trustworthy general contracting company to bring your sales skills to.
