Motorized Roman Shades from Gotcha Covered, an upstate New York premier custom window treatment franchise.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By Christine Graf<\/p>\n

Glens Falls resident Tim Schultz has opened the first Gotcha Covered franchise in Upstate New York. With more than 170 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada, Gotcha Covered is a leader in custom window treatments, offering end-to-end consultation to meet the specific needs of each customer. The franchise is expanding rapidly, with 30 new locations opening last year.<\/p>\n

Before opening the Upstate New York franchise in February of this year, Tim spent 20 years working in the tech industry, selling data security tools to companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recently left corporate America, and joined with a designer who has over 20 years of experience in the design and window treatment industry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Gothca Covered, offers custom window treatments including, draperies, indoor shutters, shades and indoor and outdoor motorized awnings and screens from the leading manufacturers. All can be integrated into broader home automation technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Northeast is the largest market for outdoor awnings, and a motorized awning can really transform your outdoor space,\u201d said Schultz. \u201cAnd, you can put a power screen on your garage door. You just hit a button and the screen comes down.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>Gotcha Covered sells many brands including Graber, Hunter Douglas, Alta, and Sumpro. Custom draperies are available in hundreds of different fabric options.<\/p>\n

Schultz works in Saratoga, Warren, and Albany counties, serving both commercial and residential clients. Within the commercial sector, they hope to work with designers, builders, realtors, and developers.<\/p>\n

With a wide variety of products from which to choose, Schultz said they have options available for all budgets.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe provide custom solutions based on budget and design preference. We take our time with our clients in order to find out what they are looking for. We suggest various options, and even though we offer custom products, we are pretty aggressive with our pricing. We also sell a product line that qualifies for a federal energy savings tax credit of up to $1,200.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tax credit is available on select energy-efficient honeycomb shades manufactured by Hunter Douglas. Because the shades are designed to provide superior insulation, they can help homeowners lower their monthly utility bills.<\/p>\n

Gotcha Covered offers complementary in-home consultations to customers, typically providing estimates within 24 hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cWindow coverings are an investment, and we make sure you are doing it properly from the design aspect as well as the installation aspect,\u201d said Schultz. \u201cWe make sure that our customers are satisfied, and we take the time to make sure that we are providing them with exactly what they want. And, based on all of the options we have, I\u2019m confident that we have something for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n
