RENOV'TRAITE

What RENOV'TRAITE does

RENOV'TRAITE is a privately held French artisanal construction firm (SARL) headquartered in Romans-sur-Isère, founded in 2005 by Jean-Louis Ritton as a family business and now employing 20 specialized artisans. The company provides an integrated suite of roofing services — charpente (wooden frame construction and renovation, including traditional, fermette, and lamellé-collé systems), couverture (tile and bac acier roof installation and historic roof restoration), and zinguerie (zinc, metal, and PVC elements such as gutters, flashings, and valleys). It is equipped with cranes enabling work on elevated structures and holds Qualibat, PEFC, and Bois des Alpes certifications alongside the standard décennale 10-year structural guarantee. In 2016 it acquired Chapelle charpente, extending the offering into roof insulation and wood-frame house construction.

The firm serves two primary customer segments: individual homeowners (houses, villas, apartment buildings) and local public institutions (municipalities, religious buildings, schools, gymnasiums) accessed via public tenders. It operates within a roughly two-hour driving radius of Romans-sur-Isère across the Drôme, Isère, and broader Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, with a physical reception office open Monday through Friday. Go-to-market is direct: project-based quote requests by phone, email, or web form, plus public tender participation; pricing is per-project and quote-based with no published tiers. The business is family-owned with no external investors, no disclosed funding, and no subsidiaries beyond the 2016 acquisition.

Core offering

Renov'Traite is a regional French construction company specializing in the construction and renovation of wooden roof frames (charpente), roofing installation (couverture) including tiles and steel sheeting, and zinguerie (zinc, metal, and PVC roofing elements such as gutters and flashings). It also provides roof insulation and timber-frame house construction through its acquired subsidiary Chapelle charpente, serving individual homeowners, apartment buildings, heritage/religious buildings, and local government clients across the Drôme and Isère departments.

Product overview

RENOV'TRAITE is a single-service construction company specializing in roofing and structural framing for residential and commercial buildings. The company offers an integrated suite of roofing services centered around three core offerings: charpente (roof framing construction and renovation), couverture (roofing installation and restoration), and zinguerie (zinc and metal work). The company expanded its portfolio in 2016 through acquisition of Chapelle charpente, adding roof insulation and wood frame house construction services. Services target individual homeowners, property managers, and municipal/religious institutions across the Drôme region, with operations spanning traditional tile roofs, modern steel systems, and heritage building restoration.

Direct peers

• Soprema: Soprema is a major French-headquartered roofing and waterproofing solutions provider with both manufactured systems and applied roofing services. It overlaps with Renov'Traite in couverture, étanchéité, and roof-insulation scope, though at national scale.
• Pasquet Couverture: Pasquet is a long-established French charpente and couverture specialist serving residential and heritage clients with a comparable regional-tradesman model. Its product mix in wood framing, tile roofing, and zinguerie overlaps closely with Renov'Traite's core stack.

Broad incumbents

• Hexaôm (Maisons France Confort): Hexaôm is France's largest single-family homebuilder and a meaningful consumer of charpente and couverture subcontractors. It anchors the demand side of Renov'Traite's residential segment and represents both a customer and competitive benchmark at scale.
• Bouygues Construction: Bouygues Construction is a top-tier French general contractor active across public, commercial, and residential building. It frequently under-bids regional charpentiers on larger public tenders, including heritage and municipal projects where Renov'Traite competes.
• Eiffage Construction: Eiffage Construction is a major French general contractor with strong positions in regional public works and building envelopes. It overlaps with Renov'Traite on public-tender roofing scopes and represents the upper-bound scale competitor.
• Maisons Phénix: Maisons Phénix is a national French single-family homebuilder offering an integrated design-build product. Its turnkey model competes for the same homeowner-renovation and new-build wallet share Renov'Traite serves in Drôme/Isère.

Others

• Terreal: Terreal (CRH group) is a major French clay tile and roofing systems manufacturer supplying couvreurs across France. It is a direct alternative supplier to Renov'Traite and an adjacent ecosystem participant in residential roofing.
• Edilians (ex-Imerys Toiture): Edilians is France's leading clay roof-tile manufacturer (carved out of Imerys, which is also a Renov'Traite supplier). It sits one tier upstream in the toiture value chain and shapes product/market dynamics for installers.
• Saint-Gobain (Distribution France / Point.P): Saint-Gobain, via Point.P, is France's leading distributor of roofing materials and supplies to artisanal contractors. Renov'Traite is a downstream customer of this ecosystem, and Point.P competes indirectly for installer-network jobs.

Emerging players

• Illico Travaux: Illico Travaux is a French franchise network connecting homeowners to vetted local artisans including roofers and charpentiers. It is an emerging channel competitor/aggregator that siphons residential lead flow Renov'Traite otherwise captures via its own website and office reception.
