Why Queen Anne homeowners start with the Assessment
The Home Health Assessment is a visual walkthrough that catalogs every system in your home, ranks what needs attention, and gives you a 12-month maintenance roadmap. It is a maintenance review, not a real-estate evaluation or pre-purchase report.
Homes on the Eastside and in north Seattle range from 1920s craftsmans to modern new builds. Each one has a different aging curve, and that is exactly what the Home Health Assessment is built to catalog.
The Assessment fee is credited toward an Executive HomeCare+ membership within 30 days, so most Queen Anne clients use it as their entry point.

Ask House Spouse
What Queen Anne homeowners ask us most
Common home questions we answer on assessments across Queen Anne — from a licensed WA contractor.
Electrical · Light Fixtures
Can a handyman install a light fixture in Washington State?
In Washington, only licensed electrical contractors and certified electricians may perform electrical work for hire — including swapping a light fixture. A handyman without an electrical specialty license legally cannot. House Spouse coordinates a licensed electrician for any hardwired work.
Plumbing · Leaks & Water Damage
How do I find a hidden water leak in my house?
Turn off every fixture and appliance, then watch the small red "leak indicator" dial on your water meter for 10–15 minutes. If it moves, you have flow somewhere with everything off — that's a leak. Isolate by shutting off the main to the house and the water heater; the meter tells you if it's on the incoming side or inside.
Doors & Windows · Locks & Hardware
How do I fix a door that won't latch properly?
A door that won't latch either has a strike plate that's out of alignment (most common) or the door itself has sagged. Close the door slowly and mark where the latch hits the strike — if it's above or below the hole, either move the strike plate or shim the top hinge to lift the latch side back into place.
Exterior & Weatherproofing · Gutters & Downspouts
How often should I clean gutters in the Pacific Northwest?
Twice a year minimum — once in late fall after the leaves drop (mid-November) and once in spring (late March). Homes surrounded by Douglas fir, cedar, or big-leaf maple need a third mid-fall cleaning, typically late October. Skipping cleanings is the #1 cause of preventable siding and foundation damage we see.
Interior Repairs · Drywall
How do I fix a drywall hole around a ceiling fixture?
For a hole smaller than the new fixture's canopy, no repair needed — the canopy covers it. For larger holes, cut a clean square around the damage, screw in a wood backer strip, patch with a drywall piece, tape the seams, and mud and sand in two coats. Ceilings need extra care because texture matching is the hardest part of the job.
Appliances & Fixtures · Dishwasher & Disposal
Can a handyman install a dishwasher in Washington?
Yes — a handyman can install a like-for-like dishwasher replacement: pull the old unit, disconnect the water supply and drain, slide the new unit in, and reconnect. What we can't do without a licensed electrician: hardwire a new circuit or upgrade the receptacle. Almost all replacements reuse the existing power connection, so this rarely comes up.
