About
Karakoshka — from a living meme to a brand
The story
We work on balconies in Batumi and the surrounding region. Carefully, with good materials, not pretending to be what we're not. Living craft where the sea, wind, and sun work together.
About the name
Karakoshka is a living meme from our founder's life. A word with no formal etymology — just personal sentiment a family knows. We don't try to explain it. It's just ours.
Founder
The hands
Karakoshka is a small operation. We know every balcony we work on. The founder — from Batumi, with years of experience on facades. Not big. Not industrial. Small, focused, hand-built.
Why us
Why Karakoshka
-
Anodized, not bare
Premium tier baseline is anodized aluminum + A4 stainless hardware. On the Batumi coast, this isn't an option — it's the standard.
-
Transparent pricing
Quotes that don't shift. What's locked, what could vary, what are explicit add-ons — line by line, before you pay.
-
Honest pros and cons
Every system page lists what's *bad* about it. Uncommon — and our key differentiator. The thing other vendors hide.
-
Full remote management
If you're not in Batumi — full project run remotely. WhatsApp daily, photo report every 2 days, video walkthroughs at milestones.
-
12-month warranty + hot-line
12 months hardware on every tier, 5 years structural on Premium+. WhatsApp average response 4 hours.

Honest
What we don't do
Transparent about scope.
- × Interior windows — only balconies and facades
- × Sub-contracted installs — never an outside crew

- × Bulk discounts beyond 15% — preserves quality and crew capacity
- × Voiding warranty for owner modifications — strict but transparent
FAQ
Frequently asked
- How long has Karakoshka existed?
- The Karakoshka brand — 2026. Under our previous name ("Sheni Aivani") — since 2024. Hands-on facade work — many years prior.
- Is it a Georgian-owned business?
- Yes — Georgian operation, based in Batumi, locally rooted. A small local brand, not a chain.
- How many people work here?
- Small crew — a handful of people who know each other well. That's not an accident — it's the design. Each project gets a known person, not a rotating team.
- Small operation — is it reliable?
- Practically — yes. Big shops mean more handoffs, not fewer. We know every project, we own delivery, we don't blame "another team" when something slips.
- Plans to scale?
- Slowly — yes, if quality holds. Scope stays Batumi + Adjara, not Tbilisi + Kakheti. Local stays local intentionally.
