What it usually is
Wobble is often loose blade screws, a loose mounting bracket or one unbalanced blade. A fan that shakes hard may need a better support for the box, or a new fan.
What to do first
Turn the fan off, and tighten the blade and bracket screws only if you can reach them safely. Do not run a fan that shakes hard.

Tacoma's East Side, including the McKinley area, has mid-century homes, older bungalows and a mix of rentals and owner-occupied houses. Many East Side houses have had a few owners and a few repairs, so we look at what was done before we price a new fixture or a leak.
