Founded in 1964 by Jean-Guy Melan\u00e7on, Les Entreprises Melan\u00e7on is much more than a restoration company: it reflects a family passion handed down from generation to generation. From their very beginnings, at a time when heritage was not yet as highly valued as it is today, the Melan\u00e7on family have been pioneers, dedicated to preserving our architectural heritage. In those days, modernization often meant destroying to make way for concrete and new buildings. But Jean-Guy Melan\u00e7on, driven by a different vision, founded Les Entreprises Melan\u00e7on with a clear mission: to restore and enhance our province’s built heritage. For 60 years now, we’ve been crisscrossing Quebec, bringing back to life the buildings of yesteryear, so that future generations can continue to admire and be proud of them. <\/p>\n

Family commitment and unrivalled expertise<\/h2>\n

Our history is first and foremost a family one. In 1989, Mario Melan\u00e7on, Jean-Guy’s son, took over the business after having worked as a painter since the age of 14. Under his leadership, the company has grown, while remaining true to its roots and values. Attention to detail, excellence and a passion for heritage have continued to be at the heart of every project. One of our greatest strengths is our ability to marry tradition and innovation. Thanks to our state-of-the-art equipment and proven artisanal techniques, we have the expertise to faithfully reproduce the architectural elements of old buildings while respecting their authenticity. It’s this unique know-how that makes Entreprises Melan\u00e7on a benchmark for heritage restoration in Quebec. <\/p>\n

Expanding our expertise: parking membranes and special coatings<\/h2>\n

Over the years, Les Entreprises Melan\u00e7on has diversified its offering. Under the impetus of Kevin Beaupr\u00e9, who joined the team in 2013 and became vice-president in 2019, the company has extended its skills to the application of special coatings and the installation of parking lot membranes. This diversification has enabled us to meet new needs, while retaining the rigor and professionalism for which they are renowned. <\/p>\n

60 years of success thanks to a dedicated team and solid partnerships<\/h2>\n

This year marks an important milestone for us: our 60th anniversary. It’s with immense pride that we look back at how far we’ve come since our beginnings in 1964. We could never have reached these heights without the commitment of our employees, customers and partners, who have believed in our mission and trusted us with their projects. <\/p>\n
