Company Information
301 - 887 Great Northern Way
The franchisor is SHACK SHINE HOME SERVICES LLC, a Washington limited liability company, formed on July 8, 2015. Its principal business address is 301 – 887 Great Northern Way, Vancouver, BC, V5T 4T5.
The Shack Shine system is a unique method for operating and franchising professional residential house detailing services, including pressure washing, gutter cleaning, exterior window washing, and Christmas light installation (the “System”). “Residential” is defined as where services are requested by an individual for his or her own single detached residence or the single detached residence of an individual with whom he or she has a personal relationship and not a professional relationship as it relates to the request for services. Our main competitive advantage over other house detailing companies is the way we deliver our service. Shack Shine projects are completed by means of combining a strategic operating plan and a sufficient number of trained staff to carry out the plan. The System includes customized software, brand development, training, business processes, marketing programs, and access to the exclusive service of the “Sales Center,” as well as the mark “SHACK SHINE” and related marks (collectively, the “Marks”). Shack Shine Corporate manages the Sales Center in Vancouver, BC on our behalf, which receives telephone and web-based orders and acts as a “point of sale” contact for each customer. The Sales Center schedules all appointments, maintains a detailed client database, conducts follow-up calls with all customers to gauge customer satisfaction and provides you with detailed reports so that you may more effectively manage the Franchised Business. We leverage a national Sales Center, operate a sophisticated web-based dispatch system, and provide you with a comprehensive training program and ongoing business coaching and support. You must also purchase or lease a vehicle that meets our requirements for use in your Franchised Business. Your vehicle must be outfitted, wrapped or decaled to our specifications. You will operate your Shack Shine Franchised Business in an assigned territory. Your Territory will generally consist of two subterritories, but in some circumstances we may sell a franchise consisting of one subterritory or more than two subterritories. A subterritory is a geographic area we determine that has approximately 150,000 to 200,000 people based on recently published census data.

Summary of Investment Costs
Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $40,000 Maximum: $60,000
Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.
These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.
While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.
Total Investment Costs
Minimum: $162,550 Maximum: $283,800
Ongoing Fees
Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.
These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.
Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
