Francis is not new to business. For 15 years, he has run Groupe Exelia, a roofing company that has built a solid reputation in the Laurentians.

Rigour, punctuality, and a job well done: this is the standard he has always demanded from his team, no matter the project.

By knocking on dozens of doors for his roofing jobs, he began to notice a detail that everyone knows, but no one fixes: the bins. They are everywhere, in every driveway, and we've ended up accepting that they are dirty and smelly, as if it were normal. It shouldn't be.

Washing them yourself is a real chore: getting the bucket, scrubbing, and ending up dumping the dirty water... in your own yard.

A smelly bin also attracts pests, and with young children at home, Francis made it a personal priority even before making it a service.

From this, Raton Laveur was born: a simple way to make a positive impact and offer an honest service, with the same attention to detail and commitment as his roofing company, applied this time to something as simple, yet as necessary, as your bin.

Based in the Laurentians, we serve the area from Saint-Jérôme to Mont-Tremblant (including Sainte-Adèle, Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, and surrounding areas).
