WEST HARTFORD, Conn. — Gotcha Covered, a leader in custom window treatment consultation in the U.S. and Canada, welcomes Hailey Handzel to the franchise family. She is the owner and operator of Gotcha Covered of West Hartford, the newest location in Connecticut.

A resident of the West Hartford area for 15 years, Handzel said it was her love of working with people one-on-one and helping people bring beauty into their spaces that inspired her to start her window treatment business.

“There’s something very special about getting to help someone solve a problem, and with Gotcha Covered, it means improving a client’s most treasured assets – their home and business,” said Handzel.

I learn about their goals and challenges, help craft their vision and manage each step to bring it all to life,” Handzel said. “Homes are personal. How a space is used, the feelings it invokes and the way it functions are unique to each person and each room. I genuinely love the opportunity to transform clients’ homes and workspaces making them more functional, comfortable and beautiful.”
