About Baney Construction & Restoration

Since 1971, we've been the family-owned storm restoration company that homeowners actually trust. While other roofing companies get bought out by private equity and lose their soul, we're staying independent and staying true to what built us — treating people right and doing quality work. When storms hit Rockton and the surrounding areas, property owners call us because they know we'll show up, do the job correctly, and stand behind our work. We're not just another roofing company — we're the restoration specialists who help families get back to normal after Mother Nature does her worst.

About This Position

Despite this role being storm restoration sales, we don't make you wait months or even weeks for your commissions — we pay you a flat 10% as soon as the homeowner signs.

If you've got the drive, this position is where serious money gets made. Your day starts by checking storm reports and heading into neighborhoods where hail, wind, or weather has hit homes. Our reputation precedes us, and we provide hot leads for all of our performers.

Starting out, you're knocking doors, meeting homeowners, and offering free roof inspections. With us, your only job is sales - not project management, not claims approval... just selling.

You'll educate homeowners on their options, take photos of the damage, and guide them through the insurance process. The more doors you knock and conversations you start, the more deals you close and the more inbound leads you're provided.

What We're Looking For

• Strong work ethic and self-motivation — this role rewards effort
• Excellent communication skills and comfort talking with homeowners
• Coachable attitude — you have unlimited coaching resources here and will learn from the best
• Ability to work independently and manage your own schedule
• Clean driving record and reliable transportation
• Previous door-to-door sales (solar, pest control, roofing) or previous construction experience preferred but not required

What's In It For You

• Company truck is provided
• Draw compensation while you ramp up, then pure performance-based earnings
• Industry-leading OTE, and commissions that are paid when contracts sign - not 3-6 months later like other roofing companies.
• Comprehensive paid training on roofing, restoration, and insurance claims
• Work with a family-owned company that's been trusted since 1971
• Flexible schedule — you control your day and your income
• Strong community reputation that makes door-knocking easier
• Pay: $150,000.00 - $320,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• Company car
• Flexible schedule
• Paid training
• Professional development assistance
