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.

- Anything else: $90/hr

Tacoma's North End is mostly older single-family homes on leafy streets, with Craftsman and early-1900s houses that have been updated over the years. Older North End houses often keep some original pipe behind remodeled walls, so it is worth knowing what is actually in the wall before a fixture swap.
