The problem

What housecall pro setup & support means for a trades business.

Housecall Pro is a field service management platform built for trades businesses that need solid dispatch, invoicing, customer communication, and job tracking without the enterprise complexity and cost of platforms like ServiceTitan. For many contractors doing $1M to $5M, it's the right tool for the job. We serve HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing contractors across the Pacific Northwest.

Getting it configured correctly for your specific business model, connected cleanly to QuickBooks, and integrated into how your field team actually works takes more than the standard onboarding. We build the configuration that makes it actually reduce your administrative load instead of adding to it.

Set up right, the software does the office work.

Dispatch and scheduling run from one system instead of three

Invoices generate from completed jobs without manual data entry

Customer communication goes out automatically at the right time

Housecall Pro data flows to QuickBooks without manual reconciliation

Your technicians use it consistently because it matches how they work in the field

You can see what's happening in your operation from anywhere

Signals you need this

Who needs this.

Contractors already on Housecall Pro who aren't getting the value they expected from it

Businesses where Housecall Pro and QuickBooks don't match and someone's reconciling manually

Teams where the customer communication features are turned on but not configured to work automatically

Contractors preparing to move to Housecall Pro from a spreadsheet or whiteboard system

Businesses where field technicians have inconsistent workflows because the system isn't set up to guide them

Three or more and there's real money sitting in the gap. Usually it's not one big leak. It's a few small ones that compound every month.

Before and after

Without the right Housecall Pro setup vs. With Sentric configuring and managing it

Without
With Sentric
Housecall Pro and QuickBooks don't agree and someone reconciles them manually
Housecall Pro data flows to QuickBooks correctly on every invoice and payment
Customer communication still depends on individual technician texts and calls
Customer communication is automated from booking confirmation through follow-up
Estimates go out without consistent pricing or a flat-rate structure
Estimates use a built pricebook with consistent margins applied across the board
Memberships are tracked in a spreadsheet that lives outside the platform
Memberships are managed inside the platform with automated renewal handling
The platform handles scheduling but the owner still manages everything else
The platform handles operations and the owner can focus on the business itself

What we build

Housecall Pro, doing the office work.

Clean flow into QuickBooks

Every invoice and payment lands in the books correctly without re-entry. Month-end stops being an archaeology project.

Customer communication on autopilot

Booking confirmations, on-my-way texts, and follow-ups run from the platform so nobody has to remember to send them.

Estimates from a real pricebook

Consistent pricing with margins built in, no matter who builds the estimate or what day it is.

We build it inside the tools you already pay for. If your field service platform and your accounting software can talk to each other, we make them. If something genuinely has to change, we'll say so and tell you why, but the tool was rarely the problem.

How it works

Three steps. No homework.

Walk one job

Thirty minutes. We take a real job, warts and all, and follow it from the day you sold it to the day the money hit the account. Every place it catches gets written down. You keep what we find whether you ever hire us or not.

Rank the friction

Housecall Pro Setup & Support might not even be your biggest leak. If something else is costing you more, we'll tell you and start there instead.

Build it and run it

We build the fix, train your people on it, and stay on it until it holds. Then we take the next one. Everything we build is documented and yours, whether you keep us for a year or just a month.

Questions

What owners ask us first.

Do you require long-term contracts?

No. Month to month. You stay because the work is delivering.

What cities do you serve?

We serve trades contractors throughout Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. See the full city list below.

How long does implementation take?

Most system builds run 30 to 60 days depending on the state of your current setup. The free audit tells us what we are working with before we scope the build.

Can you work with our existing bookkeeper or CPA?

Yes. Our work is on the operational and technology side. We make sure your financial partners get clean, accurate data to work with.

How is this different from hiring an office manager?

An office manager executes inside whatever systems exist. We build the architecture and manage it so the systems stay current as the business grows.

What trades do you work with?

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing contractors doing $2M to $8M in annual revenue across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.

What does the free 30-minute audit cover?

We review your current systems, find where margin or time is leaking, and tell you what it is costing. No pitch and no commitment.

Do you implement or only advise?

We implement and manage. We configure your tools, document your processes, and run the systems ongoing.

Thirty minutes is enough to find out if this is a problem in your operation.

The audit is free. No pitch. No commitment. A straight read on where your systems stand.
