Washington Home Care Hub

I’m Sarah Johnson — a Seattle homeowner, a mom of two, and someone who learned home maintenance the hard way.

Living in Washington sounds great until you actually own a home here. Constant rain, moisture buildup, temperature swings, moss growth, and seasonal wear can quietly damage your house if you’re not paying attention. I didn’t realize that early on — and I paid for it with repairs I could’ve easily avoided.

Washington Home Care Hub started as a personal project. After years of dealing with clogged gutters, drafty windows, crawlspace moisture, and exterior damage, I began researching, testing, and documenting what actually works for homes in the Pacific Northwest. Not contractor advice. Not sales talk. Just real lessons learned from experience.

I’m not a licensed contractor, inspector, or home service provider. I’m simply a homeowner who spent too much money fixing problems that started small — and I don’t want others making the same mistakes.

This blog focuses on:

• Seasonal home maintenance for Washington weather

• Preventing moisture, rot, and weather-related damage

• Understanding how small issues turn into expensive repairs

• Practical DIY care tips that actually make sense

• Knowing when a problem is no longer “DIY-safe”

Sometimes, home issues overlap with pests, moisture, or structural risks. When that happens, I believe homeowners should understand the problem clearly before deciding what to do next — whether that’s fixing it themselves or getting professional help.

Every article here is written with Washington homeowners in mind — renters, landlords, and families trying to protect their homes long-term. No hype. No shortcuts. Just practical guidance shaped by real-world mistakes and lessons.

If you live in Washington and want to take better care of your home without feeling overwhelmed, you’re in the right place.
