About Us
Bardeaux Lajoie has been firmly established in the Temiscouata region for over 50 years. Renowned for the expertise of its team, its respect for the environment and the superior quality of its products, the company specializes primarily in the production of cedar shingle siding and wood trim.
A tradition that goes on…
Since the company was founded in 1969, one thing has remained the same for Bardeaux Lajoie: the persistent desire to carry on the family tradition and offer customers different grades of white cedar shingles from FSC-certified forests, at the best possible price. Nothing less!
The respect for tradition, the use of the latest technologies and the product integrity are the very foundations of the company’s success. To do so, the team at Bardeaux Lajoie has never ceased to innovate and invest in order to maintain its solid reputation as a leader, firmly established over the years.
