Overview

The Sherwin-Williams catalog integrated with Housecall Pro makes it easy for Pros like you to find, price, and use Sherwin-Williams materials directly in your workflows.

This feature adds a dedicated Sherwin-Williams section to your Price Book, preloaded with a curated selection of commonly used paint materials, along with access to a broader Sherwin-Williams catalog.

With this integration, you can quickly browse trusted Sherwin-Williams materials, set your own pricing, and use those materials consistently across jobs and estimates - without needing to sign in to or link a Sherwin-Williams account.

  • Set and control your own pricing while keeping material details accurate

How It Works

After connecting to Sherwin-Williams through the App Store, you can access the Sherwin-Williams catalog in your Price Book under the Materials section.

Sherwin-Williams Product Catalog in the Price Book

  • A dedicated Sherwin-Williams category appears in your Price Book under Materials.

  • This category is separate from your other materials.

  • Once you click inside, it includes curated Sherwin-Williams products, plus any additional items you choose to add.

Adding Additional Sherwin-Williams Items

Within the Sherwin-Williams category, you’ll see a button that says “Add from Sherwin-Williams catalog.” Clicking this button lets you search beyond the curated list.

To add a new Sherwin-Williams item:

  • Search for the product within the Sherwin-Williams section. Search results are clearly distinguished between:

    • Items already included in your Price Book

    • Additional catalog items that have not yet been added

Items already in your Price Book are labeled Added. Additional catalog items not yet added to your Price Book display an Add material button.

Once added:

  • The item appears under the Sherwin-Williams category in your Price Book

  • You can reuse it in future jobs and estimates

Viewing Material Details

When you open a Sherwin-Williams material, you can view all key product details.

To keep the catalog accurate and consistent:

  • Most Sherwin-Williams material fields are read-only.

📌 Note: If you have material markups turned on, pricing will not be editable and will be calculated for you based on those markups. If you have material markups turned off, both cost and price will be editable. You can turn material markups on/off in your Price Book settings.

  • Pricing fields remain editable, so you can set costs and prices that work for your business.
