Local Maintenance Management You Can Count On
When maintenance issues arise, proximity matters. Kerr Properties only manages homes within a short distance of our office, allowing us to oversee repairs closely and coordinate solutions without delays caused by distance or overextended service areas.
This local focus helps ensure issues are addressed efficiently and correctly.
Licensed, Bonded, and Insured Vendors Only
All maintenance work is performed by licensed, bonded, and insured vendors.
A Deep Network of Local Contractors
Kerr Properties maintains a broad roster of preferred vendors across multiple trades, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, and general repairs. We work with multiple vendors in each category to ensure availability and continuity if one contractor is unavailable.
This flexibility helps prevent delays and keeps repair timelines predictable.
Fast Response to Maintenance Requests
Timely communication and action are critical for both tenant satisfaction and asset protection.
Same-Day or Next-Business-Day Response
Most maintenance requests are responded to the same business day. Requests received after hours are addressed the next business day, unless the issue qualifies as an emergency.
After-Hours Emergency Support
Tenants have access to an after-hours emergency line for urgent situations. When emergencies occur, Kerr Properties coordinates with the appropriate vendor to address the issue as quickly as possible.
Common Maintenance Issues in Oregon Rentals
Local knowledge plays a major role in effective maintenance planning.
Weather-Related Repairs
Properties in Clackamas County and east Multnomah County frequently experience roof leaks, downed trees, damaged fencing, and crawl space flooding, particularly during the rainy season. Our team is familiar with these issues and responds accordingly.
HVAC and System Failures
Heating system issues are common in older homes and during seasonal transitions. Prompt service helps prevent tenant disruption and larger repair costs.
Preventative Maintenance Planning

Annual HVAC Service Program
Each September, Kerr Properties coordinates annual HVAC servicing through preferred vendors. By scheduling service across multiple homes at once, we help improve system reliability and manage maintenance expenses more effectively for owners.
