About Richards Building Supply
Richards Building Supply is a family-owned wholesaler of exterior products (residential and commercial roofing, siding, windows and doors, decking, soffit, gutters, cabinets) whose buyers are remodelers, builders and GCs served from branches across the Midwest, the Southeast, the Northeast and Colorado. Sales is built around the branch: outside sales representatives hunt their own leads by cold call, appointment and event, quote pricing, stock and delivery, follow up on unpaid invoices and grow a book of contractor accounts against a quota, and the company takes consumer sellers only from roofing, siding and window home-improvement sales. Inside sales representatives are hourly counter and phone staff who advise contractors on product, quote and process orders, take payments and move stock between branches in step with the outside reps, and an inventory specialist seat in Loveland, Colorado adds purchasing, receiving and accounts payable to that desk. In Chicagoland a window and door specialist opens a territory from scratch, calling on owners, estimators and purchasing teams for new construction and replacement work across several vendor lines, with drop-ship to projects anywhere in the continental US. Contractors who buy from Richards also get its own free CRM for leads, measuring, estimates and online ordering.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Pay at Richards Building Supply
Stated by the company, checked 2026-10-30From our research: stated by the company, checked 30 Oct 2026
Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: Outside sales postings pair a yearly base salary band with an uncapped commission program and give no OTE or split between the two, while inside sales seats pay by the hour, with overtime in peak season and discretionary holiday and performance bonuses on top. Some postings print the range in their pay field and others for the same job leave it out, so the figure on one territory says little about the next. The Chicagoland window and door posting sets first-year and longer-run sales volume goals for the territory instead of an earnings target, so ask how commission is figured (on sales or on gross margin), how it scales against those goals, whether the territory comes with existing accounts, and whether a vehicle or mileage allowance applies, which no posting names. The roles listed below state what Richards Building Supply posts now.
