What a Charlemagne building asks of its windows and doors

Charlemagne is a small city of 2.08 km² with 6,658 residents in 2026, at the meeting point of Autoroutes 40 and 640. The housing here runs from old village houses to new towers.

Village houses near the old sawmill

A sawmill opened here in 1867 and drew about 200 workers, which created the village. Houses went up in groups as far as the railway line. These older homes often carry windows from several different decades, so we check each opening on its own.

Houses from the 1960s to the early 1980s

The land between the railway and Autoroute 40 filled in during the 1960s and 1970s. A development west of the autoroute added a block of houses between 1979 and 1981. Frames from those years are now past their best, and we look for fogged glass, soft sills and drafts at the visit.

Small buildings of three storeys

Recent projects on rue Notre-Dame and rue du Sacré-Cœur are mostly three-storey buildings with between 3 and 42 units. In a building like that, the owners or the co-ownership board may set the window style. Send us the declaration of co-ownership before we visit.

Towers are rising along the river

The city is densifying. Quartier Oviv alone is planned for more than 1,200 units in seven buildings of 12 to 30 storeys. Tower units use large glazed openings, and those are ordered to the measured opening, so a field measure comes first.

Does Charlemagne require a permit to replace windows and doors?

Yes. We read the city’s permit page on 13 November 2026. It lists door and window replacement as work that needs a permit whatever it costs. The city is the final answer for your address.

The city lists doors and windows by name

Under renovation work that needs a permit regardless of cost, the page names “ajout et/ou remplacement de portes et fenêtres”. Read it on the city’s permit page. The page puts the duty to check on the owner, and says work cannot start before the permit arrives.

Plan for four to six weeks

The city says processing takes four to six weeks, and up to eight weeks if your property sits in a PIIA zone. Ask the city whether your street is in one. Book your permit before you book the install date.

Apply through the citizen portal

Permit requests go through the city’s online portal. Its list of ready-made requests does not name windows or doors, so contact the department to confirm which request form fits your project.

Who to call

Call the city at 450 581-2541 or write to info@charlemagne.ca. Our quote names every opening and its size, which lets you show the city what changes.

Questions Charlemagne owners ask

Is a permit required for window replacement in Charlemagne?

Yes. The city names door and window replacement among the work that needs a permit whatever it costs. Apply before work and wait for the permit.

How long until I get my Charlemagne permit?

The city says four to six weeks, and up to eight in a PIIA zone. Ask the department if your property is in one.

I own a condo unit. Who decides on my windows?

Your co-ownership board can set the style and colour of exterior windows and doors. Send us the declaration, and we quote within its rules.

Can you replace windows on a row house?

Yes. A row house shares its facade with neighbours, so we match the colour and grille pattern of the row where the rules ask for it. One written quote covers all the openings.

Can Rénoclimat help pay for my Charlemagne windows?

Rénoclimat pays $300 per window for files opened since 1 October 2026, with a cap of $4,500 for a house and $6,000 for a duplex or larger building. Québec last updated the program page on 13 October 2026.
