They initially undertook residential construction projects, but over time moved into commercial and government projects. Mr. Arsenault ran the firm for 31 years, employing many workers. The company's reputation has always remained impeccable. The company has supported numerous community and school projects, as well as sports teams. Mr. Arsenault retired in 2003 and passed away in 2005; since then, his sons Roger and David have been in charge.
