History
Versailles Inc. was created in 1948 by Mr. Paul Versailles. However, it is necessary to come back up to 1915 in order to understand the true origins of the company. Indeed, Joseph Versailles, father of Paul Versailles, found the city of Montreal-Est in 1910 and was the mayor of the city until his death. In addition, he did bought several lots on this same territory a few years before. During the Fifties, Paul Versailles observes the appearance of Oil Company which was established in the same area which had been acquired by his father.
Mr. Paul Versailles is the owner of a hardware, which leads it to sell painting. The customers frequently request painter’s services. At the time, Mr. Versailles had to proceed of recruitment of painters, which will have as a consequence a significant paint contracts business. Paul Versailles thus forsakes the activities of hardware to devote itself entirely to the activities of painting. Quickly, Versailles is directed towards the commercial and industrial market.
Versailles establishes its fame into importing the abrasive blast surface preparation process from the United States. The company even becomes by fact, a leader in the East of Canada. In the industrial sector, Versailles serves oil industry, pulp and paper industry and petrochemical industry. On its side, the commercial sector activities keep mainly the crenel of the real estate, which represent institutional building, as well as governmental buildings and hotel.
Mr. Jean Crousset, Daniel father, make his entry at Versailles in 1959, extremely of his experienced in naval paint work performing surface preparation and coating application work. Year after years, his involvement in the company was greater and he finally became the president of the company. Later, his son, Daniel Crousset joint Versailles. He learns the trade by climbing all the levels: painter apprentice, painter-blaster, foreman, superintendent and estimator. In 1989, Daniel became president of the company, which makes possible the second Crousset generation to take the direction of Versailles.
Since now nearly 20 years, Daniel Crousset devoted itself to the growth of the activities of Versailles 48 Inc. with an aim of ensuring its future. Preparation of the next generation of workers and management is a constant concern which testifies to its capacity to maintain Versailles in its position of leader in the industry.

Our company acquired in the last years with ultra high pressure water jetting equipment (40K PSI). This equipment is very effective for steel surface preparation but also requires knowledge about the operation of this process to prevent accidents. That is why, Versailles 48 Inc. collaborate with the CSST, the facility owners, and the various institution of safety training in order to promote the safe use of this type of equipment.
The Quebec Ministry of Transport (MTQ) as well as several facility owners undertook a maintenance program of their infrastructures which were built several years ago.

Our company has trained employees certified SSPC-C3 (Qualified Supervisor/Person Training for Deleading off Industrial Structures) from the organization SSPC-C3 (Supervisor/Competent Person Training for Deleading of Industrial Structures) de l’organisation SSPC, qualified in management (health & safety and environment) of that kind of work and ensures itself to meet the provincial standards (CSST) and federal providing to the assigned workers, all the personal hygiene equipment and medical follow-up (blood test – lead rate in blood and ZPP – spinal cord).
Confine space is also one of our specialties. Our entire employees were trained for work in confine space but also in monitoring confine space.
Before the beginning of a project, to ensure a good risk management, our health safety specialist make a site specific safety program related to the work having to be carried out on the project.
