Maintenance Calls

Maintenance intake
that actually works.

Doorkeep captures every maintenance request with the detail your team needs to act: unit, issue, urgency, access notes. It asks the right follow-up questions, offers troubleshooting when configured, classifies urgency correctly, and routes to the right person.

The agent asks what a good PM would ask.

Your tenants get help. Your team gets details.

Your answering service takes messages. Doorkeep takes maintenance requests.

Sometimes the fix is a flipped breaker.

Doorkeep walks tenants through basic troubleshooting when you configure it. You set the depth.

Tier 1

Message only

Captures details, logs the request, tenant told someone will follow up. No troubleshooting attempted.

Tier 2

Basic troubleshooting

Asks clarifying questions, suggests simple checks. “Have you checked the breaker panel?” “Is the garbage disposal reset button pushed in?”

Tier 3

Guided troubleshooting

Walks tenant through step-by-step resolution. Resetting a garbage disposal, checking a breaker, replacing a smoke detector battery.

“A meaningful percentage of maintenance calls don't need a dispatch. They need someone to ask the right questions.”

A dripping faucet is not treated
like a burst pipe.

Doorkeep classifies maintenance urgency using context, not keywords.

HVAC assessment

“AC not cooling well” on a 75-degree day is routine. On a 105-degree day with an elderly tenant, it is urgent.

Pest assessment

A single ant in the kitchen is documented for follow-up. An infestation with health concerns is escalated.

Water assessment

Contained drip under the sink is non-urgent. Active flooding through the ceiling is an emergency.

Result

Your maintenance contact's time is spent on the right things in the right order.

No more mystery calls to your
maintenance contact.
