What a Local Window Shades Company Looks Like 

Gotcha Covered is not a big-box brand or an online catalog. 

We're a national network of locally owned window shade companies. Your consultant, your installer, and your long-term support all come from someone invested in your community.

Here is what sets our custom window shades service apart:

• A Consultant Who Comes to You. Your consultant arrives with an extensive selection of physical samples. We walk through your home room by room, match each window to the right product based on your goals for light, privacy, and style.
• Honest Recommendations at Every Budget. We present several shade options with clear explanations of what you gain at each price point. If your first instinct isn't the best fit for your space, we'll show you what works better.
• Precise Measuring Before Anything Is Ordered. Every window is measured carefully, including skylights, sliding glass doors, lanai doors, high openings, and out-of-square frames that some installers will not touch.
• Professional Window Shades Installation. Installation teams show up on time, protect your floors and walls, and leave your home clean. Furniture goes back where it belongs, and all packaging is removed.
• Communication Throughout. You receive realistic lead times at the time of your quote and proactive updates throughout the project.
• Long-Term Support. Motorized shades are fully programmed before the team leaves. Warranty issues are handled on your behalf, and your measurements stay on file for future services.

From your first consultation to your final installation, our custom shades company is with you every step of the way.

Our professional team offers in-home consultations to help you choose the perfect window shades for your home or office.

Every Room Has a Shade Problem. We Solve It.

The right custom window shade depends on how the room functions, not just how it looks. 

Our design consultants match shade type to room function based on these common situations:

• Bedrooms. Blackout roller shades, room-darkening cellular shades, and blackout Roman shades eliminate early morning sun and streetlight intrusion. Customers who upgrade to a true blackout shade installation consistently describe an immediate improvement in sleep quality.
• Living Rooms and Home Offices. Solar shades reduce heat and glare from south- and west-facing windows without making a room feel closed off. They are the right solution for spaces where afternoon sun makes televisions or monitors difficult to use.
• Sunrooms and Patios. Exterior patio shades and interior solar shades manage heat gain before it enters the room. Customers who add shade coverage to sunrooms regularly describe spaces they avoided for years, becoming usable throughout the day.
• Sliding Glass Doors and Wide Openings. Vertical shades, banded shades, and panel track systems are designed for wide openings where standard shades are not practical.
• Skylights, Arched Windows, and High Openings. Motorized and solar-powered shades make hard-to-reach windows functional without requiring manual operation. If another company said a window could not be covered, it is worth a second opinion.
• Whole-Home and New Construction Projects. Full-home window shades installation is one of our most common projects, particularly for homeowners moving into new builds or recently purchased homes with bare windows.

We will walk through every room with you and make specific recommendations, so you leave the consultation with a clear plan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Window Shades

What shades are best for energy efficiency?

Cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades, are the best choice for energy efficiency due to their unique construction. 

The shades feature a honeycomb-like structure that traps air in distinct pockets, providing insulation that helps regulate your home’s temperature. 

This added insulation can reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, leading to lower energy costs. They are ideal for homeowners who want to maintain comfort year-round while reducing their environmental footprint.

Can a window shades project be completed in phases?

Yes, phasing is a common approach, particularly for larger homes or when prioritizing certain rooms first. 

Measurements and product selections are kept on file so that future phases are consistent with what was already installed and can be executed quickly when you are ready.

Can you install shades on skylights, sliding doors, or unusually shaped windows?

Yes. We measure and install shades for skylights, sliding glass doors, lanai doors, arched windows, trapezoid openings, and high or hard-to-reach windows.

 Motorized and solar-powered options are available for openings where manual operation is not practical. If you have a window that has been difficult to cover, bring it up during your consultation.

Can custom shades be motorized?

Yes, we offer a wide selection of motorized shades that provide convenience and modern functionality. With motorization, you can control your shades with a remote, smartphone app, or even integrate them into your home automation system. This is an excellent solution for hard-to-reach windows or for enhancing convenience and safety. 

Motorized shades also help improve energy efficiency, as you can program them to adjust automatically based on sunlight levels, further reducing heating and cooling costs while providing privacy and light control with ease.

Which window shades are the best?

The best custom shades for your home will depend on your unique needs and preferences. However, here is a list of how we would classify which types of shades are best for specific needs:

• Best Safety: Cordless Shades
• Best Functionality: Motorized Shades
• Best Investment: Insulating Shades
• Best Energy Efficiency: Cellular Shades or “Honeycomb Shades”
• Best Privacy: Roman Shades

Most types of shades, like cellular, roman, honeycomb, roller, and more, can be customized with the above features that you want. Speak to an expert at Gotcha Covered to learn more.
