About Us

As a locally owned and operated business in Chicagoland, Hang & Shine has strong ties to our community. Mike & Jon Franzone, the owners of Hang & Shine, were both born and raised in Carol Stream and went to Carol Stream schools their whole lives. Mike and Jon have roots 100 miles deep in Chicagoland!
Like Mike and Jon, Hang & Shine has its beginnings in Carol Stream. It was started after Mike stumbled across an ad for ultrasonic blind cleaning while working for a local carpet cleaning company. The ad helped Mike recognize the need and potential for a blind cleaning company within the community. Soon after, Jon, his younger brother, returned from college and joined as his business partner.

In the first two years of business, Mike and Jon would walk fliers door to door every day until the business was off and running. Every morning, they would pick up blinds and bring them back to their parents' garage for cleaning before returning them that same evening.
Eventually, the Franzone brothers were able to expand their operations. They moved into a commercial space and purchased a fleet of mobile trucks that allowed them to provide their services on-site in their customers' homes and businesses. As the business evolved, they also began selling blinds. Over the years, they have become one of the top retailers for Hunter Douglas window fashions. Through it all, the thing they are most proud of is the outstanding reputation they have earned by providing outstanding service and value at affordable prices.
Call today to talk to the good-guys in this industry. For 20 years, they have been earning the trust and respect of residents and businesses all over Chicagoland.
