What A. GRAFFIN does

A. Graffin (legal entity: Entreprise A. Graffin, SAS) is a privately held French painting and renovation firm headquartered at 6 place Stalingrad, Meudon, Hauts-de-Seine, in operation since 1950. The company delivers interior and exterior painting, floor and wall coverings (PVC, linoleum, carpet, parquet), facade cleaning, carpet installation, woodwork restoration, and turnkey multi-trade renovation for apartments and houses. Core know-how is craftsmanship-based: a salaried, non-subcontracted team of qualified painters and specialists, supplemented by an in-house colourist (Éric Pellegrin) who provides free colour and material advisory, coordinates with trusted local artisans (plumbers, electricians, masons) in Meudon and Clamart for multi-trade projects, and delivers a clean, managed worksite handover.

The business model is project-based services sold via direct field sales. Customers (primarily private individuals in residential, secondarily commercial professionals) initiate contact by phone or website form; the firm conducts an on-site assessment and returns a free quote. Pricing is unit-based on labour (€50 HT/hour for residential), with travel fees of €24–27 HT and no subscription or recurring component. The service perimeter is intentionally tight at approximately 10 km around Meudon, covering Vanves, Clamart, Boulogne-Billancourt, Issy-les-Moulineaux, and Sèvres, with the option to extend beyond Île-de-France on a per-project basis. Customer acquisition is overwhelmingly local: word-of-mouth, direct referrals, the company website, and reviews on Pages Jaunes and Google (average 4.25/5 across 4 reviews).

The business is structurally small and stable: 6 employees, share capital of €7,622.45, registered in Nanterre (RCS 315 576 819), privately held with no funding, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed M&A activity. The firm is positioned as a long-tenured, quality-focused local craft provider rather than a scalable platform, with its principal moat being 70+ years of local reputation, a salaried in-house team, and trusted multi-trade partner relationships in Hauts-de-Seine.

• Tryba: Major French window, door, and home improvement franchise network. Comparable multi-trade residential renovation positioning, though concentrated in fenestration rather than painting-led work.
• KparK: French home renovation franchise focused on windows, doors, and associated interior work including painting and finishes. Overlaps with A. Graffin's residential renovation scope but at substantially larger national scale.
• Technitoit: Large French building renovation company specializing in facade treatment, roofing, and insulation, with painting-adjacent services. Comparable scope of residential exterior work, but operates at national scale via franchisees.
• Leroy Merlin: Dominant French DIY and home improvement retailer offering installation services for flooring, painting-adjacent products, and renovation. Represents the broad incumbent alternative against which local painting firms compete.

Direct peers

• Camif Habitat: French home renovation specialist coordinating multiple trades (painting, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms) for end-to-end projects. Comparable to A. Graffin's all-trades, single-point-of-contact value proposition, though at national scale.
• Maison & Travaux (SeLoger): French renovation services network connecting homeowners with local trades for painting, flooring, and full renovations. Operates in the same multi-trade residential renovation category as A. Graffin, though primarily as a referral platform.
• illiCO travaux: French national renovation intermediation and project management network offering multi-trade home renovation. Directly comparable to A. Graffin's turnkey renovation model, though operating through a franchise/affiliate network rather than an in-house team.

Regional players

• Attila: French franchise network specializing in roof maintenance and repair with adjacent building envelope services. Comparable French specialty trade franchise model, though focused on roofing rather than painting/interior finishing.

Emerging players

• ManoMano: French-founded home improvement DIY marketplace with growing professional services arm. Relevant as both a competitive threat (DIY channel substitution) and a potential customer acquisition channel for small French trades firms like A. Graffin.

Others

• Saint-Gobain Distribution Bâtiment France (Point.P): Leading French distributor of building materials serving professional trades and contractors. Indirectly comparable as a supplier and ecosystem participant that small renovation firms like A. Graffin depend on for materials.
