Sherwin-Williams Dealer Portal: A one-stop-shop for metal roofing mastery

By Heidi J. Ellsworth.

The MetalVue Program is revolutionizing the metal industry for faster, more efficient roofing and siding sales and installations. 

Are you interested in Making More with Metal? Sherwin-Williams has been working on a program for the last five years that will help contractors do exactly that. In fact, the MetalVue program is an evolutionary initiative that brings together leading metal manufacturers, technology companies and service providers to help contractors Make More with Metal. 

How does the program work? It starts with contractors who want to install metal roofing or siding in a new way. Sherwin-Williams has worked with metal manufacturers to now start supplying roofing and siding projects in an out-of-the-box way. Where before it could take days if not weeks to estimate and sell a project, not to mention the timeline for getting materials, skilled crews to install and then the final warranty, MetalVue has cut the process down exponentially. 

It starts with the revolutionary Roofing Passport powered by EagleView, Smart Build and Roofing WRX. The Roofing Passport allows contractors to estimate metal roofing, and soon siding, within minutes. By simply entering an address within the Passport, an EagleView roof or full house report is generated and integrated into the Roofing Passport estimating platform. The EagleView report offers full take off with exact measurements and cut profiles. From this, an exact estimate is created that can then be turned into an owner bid and proposal for a new roof or siding project the same day. 

An important part of metal roof success is an integrated sales process. With the speed of estimate using Roofing Passport, it is critical to have a strong sales team that can help owners see the strength, protection and longevity of a metal roof. As part of the MetalVue program, Grosso University offers a leading sales training that incorporates a process driven sales experience that helps the owner understand the benefits of metal. This is an essential part of the success of the MetalVue program for exterior contractors. 

Once the project has been sold the metal manufacturers receive a full bill of materials from Roofing Passport that allows them to deliver basically a roof in a box to the jobsite in days instead of weeks. Through another benefit of the MetalVue program, contractors can get installation training from Sheridan Consulting, the leading training organization for metal roofing and siding in the country. 

On the labor front, if companies are not able to have their own crews trained quickly enough or just have that much work, ToolBelt a leading crew recruitment technology can help connect contractors with metal projects to crews that are skilled to install them. 

These services and many more including lead generation, financing and networking can all be found on the MetalCoffeeShop within the MetalVue directory. It is where all the MetalVue program partners and metal manufacturers have directories that can help contractors do the research they need to incorporate this into their business.  

And for a complete video review of the program, there are video interviews of all MetalVue programs industry partners. In conjunction with Sherwin-Williams, Grosso University has developed a Dealer Portal. This portal not only increases the speed of onboarding for your whole company but is an ongoing resource as the program grows and expands.
