That's why we offer only national name brand merchandise like Hunter Douglas, Kirsch, Levolor and Graber - Brands that you know and trust. We will come to your home, show you all the latest samples and when you order we will measure your windows and professionally install all of your window treatments.

In 1995 with a passion for excellence Debi and Mike Rose dreamed of the next good business opportunity, after selling a successful business they had founded and operated for nearly 18 years. The Roses were mindful of the practical realities of running a successful business, and that was to consistently provide the best possible experience for the customer. With this in mind, they looked for a customer service business where they could apply their many years of experience, however it had to be a business that wouldn't require inventory, heavy overhead, or a lot of employees and most importantly they dreamed of a business that wouldn't require much in accounts receivables. They found Gotcha Covered, a dream come true!

With no business coach in the window coverings industry, the Rose's learned through trial and error. Always looking for and identifying better more efficient methods of conducting business, Debi and Mike developed a system for marketing and selling window coverings that quickly numbered them among the nation's top producers in the industry. In addition to offering unparallel customer service the Rose's insisted in providing customers only the best window covering products available and that required special vendor relationships with Hunter Douglas, Kirsch/Levolor, Graber and Prestige Plantation Shutters.

Mike and Debi started awarding Gotcha Covered franchises in June of 1999 and to-date have over 130 franchised territories operating across the country.
