What Dollard-des-Ormeaux houses ask of a window

Dollard-des-Ormeaux grew from a very small population in 1960 to more than 15,000 residents within ten years. Many of its houses went up in that short window of time. The 2021 census counts 17,385 households, and 75.3% of homes are single-family houses.

Neighbours’ windows are a clue, not a size

Houses built in the same years often wear out at the same pace. A neighbour who replaced last summer can tell you how it went. We still never copy a size from next door. Every opening gets measured on site, and the quote lists each one.

54.8%

Four bedrooms or more, in over half of the homes

In the census, 54.8% of Dollard households live in a home with four bedrooms or more. Bedroom windows are the ones you open every night. We check how each sash opens, how wide it opens and how easy it is to reach, and the quote lists the style for each room.

Style changes the job

A raised bungalow has basement windows at the grade line. A split-level has half-level windows over the stair. A two-storey house has tall upstairs openings. Tell us which one you own, and we plan the measuring around it.

31.9%

Owners here report repairs, and the numbers moved up

In 2021 occupants reported minor repairs needed in 31.9% of homes and major repairs in 7.0%. Both shares grew from 2016, by 3.6% and 6.1%. An opening that leaks or sweats is a repair that waits for no season.

One city in two languages

Dollard-des-Ormeaux has been officially bilingual since 2005. We write your quote and your measuring sheet in English or in French, whichever you read faster.

Do I need a permit to replace doors and windows in Dollard-des-Ormeaux?

Ask the city before you order. Its permit by-law requires a building permit for any alteration of a building, and it draws its own line between a repair and an alteration. We never guess which side your job falls on.

Any alteration needs a building permit

The city’s permits and certificates by-law 91-808 (consolidated through amendment R-2025-808-18, seen 12 November 2026) bans any construction, alteration or addition to a building without a building permit first. The only exemption it lists is a garden shed of 10 square metres or less.

Repair or alteration? The by-law gives an example

The by-law defines a repair as replacing damaged parts with identical or similar ones. Its own example: replacing rotten parts of a wooden window is a repair, while replacing wooden windows with metal ones is an alteration. It names neither vinyl nor fiberglass, so ask the building inspector how the city reads your swap. An exemption never cancels your duty to follow the by-law.

Thirty days after the file is complete

The inspector must issue the permit within 30 days of the date the file is complete, unless the size of the work justifies a longer wait. A request that goes to the Planning Advisory Committee adds time. That committee meets about once a month, and the city’s calendar lists 23 November 2026 as its last posted date.

Where to ask

Call the Urban Planning Department at 514 684-1010, or start a request on the city’s online permit page. Give your address, say whether the openings keep their size and name the material you picked.

Questions Dollard-des-Ormeaux owners ask

Do I need a permit to replace windows in Dollard-des-Ormeaux?

The city’s by-law requires a building permit for an alteration, and it treats like-for-like repairs differently. Its example says wood-to-metal windows count as an alteration. Ask the Urban Planning Department about your exact swap before you order. We bring sizes, data sheets and a quote to make that conversation quick.

Does replacing wood windows with vinyl count as an alteration?

The by-law does not name vinyl. It names wood to metal as an alteration, so a material change is worth a call to the building inspector. Get the answer by email, and keep it with your quote.

How long does the city take to issue a permit?

The by-law gives the inspector 30 days from the moment the file is complete. A longer wait is allowed when the work is large, and a file sent to the Planning Advisory Committee takes longer still.

Can I replace windows in a condo or a rented home in Dollard-des-Ormeaux?

About one home in four here is rented, and about one in four sits in an apartment building or a duplex. If you rent, the owner or the manager orders the work. In a condo, the declaration of co-ownership and the board decide who replaces the exterior windows, so ask the board before you book.

Is there money back from Québec for new windows?

Yes. Rénoclimat pays $300 for each eligible window. A house can receive up to $4,500, and a duplex, a triplex or a larger residential building up to $6,000. The program applies to files opened since 1 October 2026, and conditions apply. Quebec.ca keeps the current list.
