The Team Behind the Work

The people who show up at your door, trained, background-checked, and committed to the work.

Stephen Hillrich

General Manager

Stephen started out at Shine when the local business opened in 2023. He performed every service at launch, and has since led the team to grow to its current scale. He and his family live in Morton as well, and love any opportunity to get outside.

More Than a Service. A Neighbor

Gabe Tongate didn't start Shine of Peoria 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 Peoria, the work is about relationships, not transactions. Showing up when they say they will. Doing the job right. Being the kind of local company Morton 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 Peoria 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.
