A resident of the West Hartford area for 15 years, Handzel said it was her love of working with people 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.
Having worked as a registered dietitian in Hartford and Springfield, Mass., Handzel is no stranger to building relationships with clients and working to improve their day-to-day lives.
“With Gotcha Covered, I get to work with people in a consultative manner. 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.”
Adding 40 new franchise locations in 2022, Gotcha Covered currently has over 155 total franchises across the U.S. and Canada. The franchise has been operating under the Gotcha Covered name since 2009.
“We wanted to expand our footprint in Connecticut, and we believed the Greater Hartford area presented the perfect opportunity for growth,” said Paul Linenberg, president of Gotcha Covered.
