Stuck between $40K and $70K in a job that's going nowhere? This is the way out.
Breaking your back in a trade. Grinding shifts that cap out. Sitting in a career that flatlined years ago. If that is your Monday, read this page.
TrueRoof trains everyday people to sell roofs. A real W-2 job with set hours, paid training up to $1,000 a week, and average first-year earners break 6 figures.
A real job while you learn a skill that pays for life.
This is a W-2 job with set hours and paid training. Not a commission-only gamble. You earn while you learn, and you only move to commission once you are actually good.
Up to $1,000 a week while you learn
You get paid during training, so you can focus on getting good instead of watching your bank account drain.
Commission starts at 2 roofs a week
You start on training pay with set 9 to 5 hours. Commission kicks in once you are trained up and selling at least 2 roofs a week. By then it is the raise you want, not a risk you fear.
Average earners break 6 figures
Not the superstars. The average. Do the work, follow the program, and 6 figures in your first year is the normal outcome here.
We give you a program to follow. If you follow it, you will make money. Period.
That is the whole pitch. No talent required, no winging it, no figuring it out alone.
Think of it like a personal trainer. They hand you the workouts and the meal plan. Follow it and your body changes.
You do not need talent for that. You need consistency.
Same thing here. We hand you a daily prescription: where to knock, what to say, how many doors.
Follow it every day and it is impossible not to make money. That is not hype. That is how prescriptions work.
Coached by a $300K+ earner
Your mentor personally earns $300K+ a year selling roofs. You learn side by side, at the doors and at the kitchen table, over and over until it is second nature.
Every step written down
What to say, what to do when they say no, how to win the day. You never guess.
Weekly training, real growth
Live team training every week. You build communication, resilience, and negotiation. Skills that stay yours for life, no matter what you do next.
The math, in 3 lines.
No mystery comp plan. Here is how the money works once you are trained up and selling.
What 1 roof pays you
1 roof a week is a 6-figure pace. Our training bar is 2. Commissions pay out weekly, every Friday. Your effort and skill decide where you land, and storms plus insurance keep the demand coming.
What you actually do all day.
You are a sales rep. The job is simple to describe. Doing it every day is what separates the 6-figure earners from everyone else.
Knock doors
Work neighborhoods around Joliet. Storms keep demand high, and insurance pays for most of the roofs we sell.
Offer free inspections
You are not selling a roof at the door. You are offering a free roof check after the last storm. That is it.
Get rejected 9 times out of 10
That is not failure. That is the job. The math works because you keep knocking, and we train you to hear no without taking it home.
Get 1 or 2 to say "yes"
Every yes is a booked inspection. Booked inspections are how you win the day, and enough of them is how you break 6 figures.
First you book. Then you learn the whole job.
For the first few weeks, you are only focused on knocking doors and booking appointments. Nothing else.
Later, we teach you the rest through shadowing. You ride along on inspections and sit in on kitchen-table closes until you can run the whole job yourself.
Doors and bookings
Knock and book appointments. Set hours, 9 to 5, on training pay. Want more hours? Take them.
Shadowing
Ride along with your mentor on inspections and closes. Watch, copy, then run it with backup right beside you.
The whole job
You sell roofs start to finish. Hit 2 a week and commission kicks in. Your schedule turns flexible too.
No experience? Good.
You do not need roofing experience. You do not need sales experience. We actually prefer that you have neither.
New sales reps come in clean. No bad habits to unlearn, no old scripts to fight. You follow our program from day 1, and the program is what earns. Coachable beats experienced here, every time.
We work hard. We keep it fun.
Knocking doors is a grind if you do it alone and a good time if you do it with the right crew. Ours pranks each other, competes hard, and celebrates wins together.
Sign day. The No Soliciting bit started as a joke. It never stopped.
Yes, we have a mascot. You will meet him in week 1.
Yes, that sign says No Soliciting. Yes, we planted it. We are dead serious about the work. Ourselves, not so much.Who this works for. And who it doesn't.
We would rather lose you on this section than 3 weeks in. Read both columns.
This works if you
- Want a career with no ceiling, not another gig
- Are coachable and will actually follow the program
- Can hear no 50 times and still knock door 51
- Are money-motivated and honest about your numbers
- Live in or near Joliet
This doesn't work if you
- Are fine with a ceiling on what you earn
- Fold after 1 rough day
- Would rather freestyle than follow what works
- Hate being outside and talking to people
- Need someone standing over you to do the work
Answered before you ask.
Do I need sales or roofing experience?
No. We actually prefer you without it.
New sales reps come in with no bad habits. We teach you everything with the program, live weekly training, and a mentor beside you in the field.
Is this a real job or a 1099 gig?
A real W-2 job.
Set hours, paid training, weekly pay. We walk you through the paperwork before day 1.
How does pay work while I train?
You earn up to $1,000 a week during training, with set 9 to 5 hours.
You move to commission only once you are trained up and selling at least 2 roofs a week. Until then, training pay keeps you covered while you build the skill.
What can I actually earn?
Our average first-year earners break 6 figures.
The math is simple. The average contract runs $24,000 and your full commission when you set and close is 10%, so 1 roof pays about $2,400. The training bar is 2 a week.
What are the hours?
Set hours, 9 to 5, with the ability to work more.
More doors means more booked appointments, so extra hours are there if you want them. After training, your schedule turns flexible.
Where is the job?
Joliet and the southwest suburbs.
Home base is our showroom inside Louis Joliet Mall. You work neighborhoods close to home, not hours away.
