Kristen Glicksman — Owner, Shine of Charlotte

Serving Matthews since 2023

Kristen Glicksman & Evan Glicksman Evan and Kristen Glicksman took over Shine of Charlotte in November 2023, but they've been part of the Shine family for much longer. Kristen spent years working alongside her dad, the owner of Shine of Long Island, and together they bring experience from construction, home services and Shine of Long Island to Charlotte.

They've done everything from window cleaning to designing and installing custom landscape and Christmas lighting, serving homeowners and business owners in the Hamptons, Montauk and beyond. Now they bring that same standard of service to South Charlotte and the greater Charlotte area, in neighborhoods around Providence Country Club, SouthPark, Ballantyne, Montibello, Sardis Forest, Quail Hollow and more.

When they're not working, Evan and Kristen love cooking, hiking and heading to the lake or beach. At home, they're outnumbered by their dog, Ford, and their three cats, Todd, Salem and Jack.

More Than a Service. A Neighbor

Kristen Glicksman didn't start Shine of Charlotte just to run a business. They built it around a mission that's guided Shine for more than 25 years, and one they believe in personally: Be a Light. That means treating your home or business like it belongs to a neighbor, because to this team, it does.

For Shine of Charlotte, the work is about relationships, not transactions. Showing up when they say they will. Doing the job right. Being the kind of local company Matthews is glad to have. And it goes beyond the property line: Shine owners give back to the communities they serve.

As part of the national Shine network, Shine of Charlotte combines the training, technology, and Shine Satisfaction Guarantee of a trusted national brand with the heart of a locally owned team that lives by one idea: be a light where you live.
