About

Shackadoo is a Canadian home-project community.

Real homes. Real ideas. Real costs. Real lessons. We want useful information, proud contributors and a site that feels welcoming at every budget.

Our editorial promise

When Shackadoo publishes changing facts — costs, programs, statistics or product prices — we show what the number represents, where it came from and when we checked it. Canadian official data, industry estimates, U.S. research and community experiences are not treated as the same thing.

Our publishing rule

Public submissions do not publish automatically. Shackadoo reviews submissions first to protect quality, privacy and the community from spam or misleading advertising.

Our inclusion rule

A clever $40 idea can be every bit as interesting as a $100,000 renovation. Dorms, apartments, condos, ordinary houses, cottages, family homes and forever homes all belong here.
