Business Partners team up to open Gotcha Covered Denver West

Serving the western suburbs of the Denver metro area, Gotcha Covered Denver West offers a variety of blinds, shades, shutters, draperies, outdoor awnings, and more for both residential and commercial projects throughout Greenwood Village, Littleton, Ken Caryl, Morrison, Lakewood, Golden, Evergreen, Genesee, Westminster, Arvada and Wheatridge. The business prides itself on client satisfaction, from initial consultation to final installation, and both owners are actively involved in all aspects of sales and service.

As a team, Catozzo and Windemuller have an extensive background in business development and growth, bringing a combined 50-plus years of experience in product development, manufacturing, sales and international distribution. While Catozzo has previous expertise in marketing strategy and distribution management in the consumer electronics industry, Windemuller’s career has focused primarily on home building products.

After relocating to Colorado in 2015, Catozzo joined long-time resident Windemuller to purchase a struggling manufacturing company. In three short years, the team grew the business exponentially and sold it. It was their previous success and great working relationship that influenced Catozzo and Windemuller to go back into business together.

“Mike and I enjoy working together, and this franchise opportunity with Gotcha Covered seemed like a good fit,” said Catozzo. “We enjoy working with people, and we’ve always had an interest in the home improvement industry. This allows us to do both.”

Windemuller said it was his experience in the window and door industry, as well as the flexibility, that helped make Gotcha Covered the perfect business venture for the team.

“Window treatments are a natural fit with our backgrounds and interests,” Windemuller said. “Plus, the Gotcha Covered model affords us the valuable time to spend with our families, while also building a business.”

“The Denver community always holds a special place in our hearts because that is where our headquarters are located,” said Paul Linenberg, president of Gotcha Covered. “We want to provide the best services to our customers in the area, and we know Divo (Catozzo) and Mike (Windemuller) will do just that. They have a proven track record of building successful businesses. We are excited to have them join our franchise family.”
