Where we came from:

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.

Where we are going:

... and now with a franchise network that currently extends from coast to coast, our number one goal has remained the same, always provide our customer with the best experience in the window fashion industry. Our corporate vision is to build the Gotcha Covered promise of QUALITY, VALUE and SERVICE across North America, Canada, and Mexico. Because of the paralleled commitment we receive from our dedicated Franchise Operators we know that the vision will become reality!

We will continue to award franchises to candidates who like people and share the same desire to provide our customer with the best experience possible when obtaining window coverings and accessories for their home.

Our successful candidates have no need for a background in home décor or construction! Instead, we look for people with a strong work ethic who think smart, communicate well, and display resourcefulness when faced with a challenge, and MOST OF ALL, people who are comfortable following a well-structured business model with a proven track record!

Here's why it works:

By 2013, the market for window coverings is expected to exceed $10 billion at the retail level, with an even greater increase in the years after that. There are approximately 100 million households and at least one billion residential windows in the U.S. As long as American consumers continue to buy new homes and renovate existing homes, the industry will have virtually unlimited opportunities to grow and innovate.

We still have low interest rates, this along with recent cuts in federal income taxes have led to steady housing sales and construction. This has been good news for the window coverings industry. Homeownership now stands at an all-time high of 68%. Many homeowners have taken advantage of the low interest rates to refinance their mortgages, and many are using the funds they receive from refinancing to remodel and upgrade their homes. This has translated into increased sales for window covering providers.
