About House Spouse
What is House Spouse?+
House Spouse is a home maintenance, handyman, and concierge home care brand serving Snohomish County and the greater Seattle area. We are the consumer brand of Advanced Remodeling WA. Licensed, bonded, insured.
Are you a home inspector?+
No. We are not licensed home inspectors and never use that term. Our Home Health Assessment is a visual maintenance review built to help you understand your home and plan ahead. It is not a substitute for a licensed pre-purchase home evaluation or structural engineering report.
Home Health Assessment
What is the Home Health Assessment?+
A $499 visual walkthrough of your home where we document condition, flag issues, and build a 12-month maintenance roadmap. The fee is credited toward an Executive HomeCare+ membership within 30 days.
How long does it take?+
Most assessments run 3 to 4 hours on site, with the written Home Health Report delivered within a few business days. See a sample report.
What does the report include?+
Photo documentation of every room and system, written findings, priorities ranked by urgency, and a 12-month maintenance roadmap. You also get access to your private Home Health Record online.
Memberships
What is HomeCare+?+
HomeCare+ is our subscription home care service. Members get scheduled visits, our member labor rate, priority scheduling, and waived service-call fees. See all three tiers: Essentials, Executive, and Estate.

No. You can book a one-off handyman job, repair, or even just the Assessment without a membership.
