What's true for everyone
A brand clients know
You walk into the homes of people who called Beau-frère à louer because they trust it. You don't have to build a reputation on your own.
A team behind you
A call centre that takes the requests, an office that picks up when you call, co-workers who share their tips. You're never alone with a problem.
We help you grow
Support from day one, an app that makes your days simpler, and bridges between the ways in: people often start with one and sometimes end up in another.
Respect, both ways
We ask you to be serious and to care about the client. We give you just as much: commitments kept, tools to do good work, and a team that treats you like a professional.
A team behind you
When you get to the client's, everything is ready
Your schedule is set by our call centre: it takes the requests, talks to the clients and books your appointments. You do what you do best.
Everything happens in the app
Your day, one appointment at a time
Your quotes and invoices

A typical day
Leave from home
You leave home in the van and head straight to your first client. No detour through a garage.
Two or three clients, lined up for you
Our call centre has planned your day: addresses, scheduled work and client notes are already in your app.
Repair, adjust, install
A sticking door, a loose moulding, a hole in the drywall, shelves to put up. Something unexpected? You call the call centre, which checks and adjusts.
Head home
Day done. Your report and photos are done in the app. You head home with the van: your evening is yours.
Illustrative example: stops vary from day to day.
