Our Values, Our History
Who We Are
A Vision Born in Quebec in 1994
Adèle was founded in 1994 by Gaétan Migneault, with a clear mission to professionalize and elevate the standards of residential cleaning in Quebec.
He soon joined forces with Julie Bergevin, MBA, with whom he co-founded the franchise network Le Groupe Adèle Inc. For over 30 years, their shared vision has guided the network’s growth: structuring a long-fragmented industry and transforming home cleaning into a professional, well-regulated, and rigorous service.
Ultra-Specialization in the Pursuit of Excellence
Adèle made a bold strategic choice: to devote itself entirely to residential cleaning.
This specialization has allowed us to develop distinctive expertise, proven methods, and uniform quality standards across our entire network of franchisees and employees.
Our commitment is simple: to offer premium service accessible at mass-market prices.
A Strong Entrepreneurial Network
Le Groupe Adèle Inc. is built on a structured, human-centric, and high-performance franchise model that has been repeatedly recognized by major players in the franchising industry.
Our franchise entrepreneurs and their employees are trained using an exclusive method before entering our clients’ homes. This approach ensures consistency, efficiency, and respect for every living environment.
Since 1994, this rigor has allowed us to build the largest residential cleaning network in Quebec.
More Than Just a Cleaning Service
While many look for “home cleaning” or still use the term “cleaning lady,” our mission has always been to go far beyond the general meaning of these words.
Industry experts widely credit Adèle for deeply transforming this sector into a truly structured industry, driven by trained and supported entrepreneurs, and offering a professional service renowned for its consistency and quality.
Our Values
- Accessible Excellence
- Integrity and Respect
- Operational Rigor
- Pride in Work Well Done
- Benevolent Leadership
These values have guided our decisions day after day for over three decades.
Sustained Growth
Since its founding, Adèle has enjoyed constant growth and is today among Quebec’s most notable companies.
But beyond the awards, our greatest achievement remains the renewed trust of thousands of Quebec families — week after week.
