I’m very happy after acquiring my Christmas lights from Shack Shine! They even went above, installing during the night, so I could have my lights ready for a family party. I highly recommend them!

Craig Sanderson
Hi there – my name is Craig Sanderson and I am the owner of Shack Shine Ottawa.
Having grown up in the Ottawa region, I have a love for the city and a genuine admiration for the pride that our clients take in their homes. Shack Shine’s vision and core values (Passion, Integrity, Professionalism, and Empathy) align with my own beliefs, and our team members ensure that we treat our clients’ homes like they are our very own.
My personal experience includes small business management, client services, marketing, and building services & landscaping. I believe that House Detailing is an important step in maintaining aesthetics, along with providing preventative maintenance, for our property. I also understand how much time and effort goes into making our homes look their best, and I’ve seen firsthand how Shack Shine’s services can help free up our clients’ time to do the things they love, while still ensuring their houses continue to look amazing.
When I’m not working, I can usually be found with my wife and daughter enjoying the many ski hills, golf courses, and hiking trails (with our family dog leading the way) that the Ottawa region has to offer. Thanks for letting us help Ottawa shine!
