Three old villages joined in one town, with heritage rules on the old streets

Census 2021 counted 5,411 residents, up 5% from 2016, according to Centris. Centris also reports a median price of $848,125 for single-family houses over the four quarters to the third quarter of 2026. At that value, owners care about how a new window looks from the road, and so does the town.

Old village and Main Road: heritage criteria name doors and windows

Hudson’s site planning by-law has a heritage sector for the old village and another for the central commercial core. In the old village, the criteria say work must respect the building’s own character, and they list doors and windows among the parts to respect. A replacement material must be of equal or better quality, and restoration is preferred to renovation for buildings of heritage interest. Bring photos of your current frames to the estimate.

Hudson, Hudson Heights and Como: three villages, three ages of house

The town was created in June 1969 when the villages of Hudson, Hudson Heights and Como were merged, according to the English-language encyclopedia article on the town. A house in Como and a house in Hudson Heights can be a generation or more apart. We read each address on its own and do not assume the neighbour’s frame suits yours.

Turn-of-the-century houses beside the lake

Hudson is known for large houses from the turn of the 20th century, many by the Lake of Two Mountains, according to the same article. Houses like these often have tall openings, bay windows and round or oval units. Non-standard sizes are normal work for us, since every unit is built to the opening we measure.

A heritage inventory you can read before you choose

The regional county, a university research chair in urban heritage and the regional museum prepared an inventory of built heritage for the town in 2020, and the town publishes the sheets on its planning page. They are in French only. Look up your street before you pick a style, since the sheet shows what the experts noted about your building.

Do I need a permit to replace windows or doors in Hudson?

Same-size replacement reads as maintenance in the town’s definitions. Changing an opening, or working in a heritage sector, is a different file. We could not read every amendment, so email the planning service before you order and keep its answer.

Same-size replacement against major renovation

The permit by-law 529 requires a permit for major renovation, and it exempts maintenance, repair and minor renovation from a certificate of authorization, as defined in annex D of the zoning by-law. That annex lists replacing doors and windows under maintenance and repair. It lists enlarging or closing a door or window, adding new ones and adding bay windows under major renovation. The codified text states it has no legal value.

What the town says about delays

The permit page says the town is in a transition period with a high volume of requests, and that processing takes longer than usual. Requests are handled in order of arrival, and an inspector calls you when your file is taken up. Send requests to info.urb@ville.hudson.qc.ca. Plan the delay into your install date.

Site planning review for heritage sectors

By-law 571, as amended by by-law 690-2017, applies in listed sectors to a certificate for major renovation that changes the outside of a building. Those sectors include the old village, the commercial core and Sandy Beach. A 2019 amendment (571.2) changed which works are covered, and its scanned text would not open for us. Ask the planning service on 450 458-5347 whether your address is in a sector.

How the committee and council move

The planning page publishes a calendar of filing dates, committee meetings and council sessions. It says to count one to three weeks after council approval for the permit. The minutes of 12 May 2026 also record the committee’s own note about staff shortages and delays, so allow extra time.

What we replace in Hudson homes

How we serve Hudson, from Como to Hudson Heights

Como

39 km and about 33 minutes from our Saint-Laurent showroom, without traffic. Como is the part of town closest to us. We measure each opening, and we note which windows face the lake side so you can compare glass choices for sun and wind.

Main Road and Sandy Beach

42 km and about 37 minutes to the town hall on Main Road, and 43 km and about 39 minutes to Sandy Beach. On the old streets we photograph the trim and sill details first, then bring matching samples to the estimate.

Hudson Heights

46 km and about 40 minutes, the farthest of the four places we measured. For a large older house, we plan a full walk-through of every opening in one visit, so the quote covers the whole building.

Hudson is 39 to 46 km from our showroom

Our crews head west from 1190 Rue Bégin in Saint-Laurent. The times are rounded OpenStreetMap driving figures to each named place, and they leave out traffic.

Questions Hudson owners ask

Does Hudson require a permit for window replacement?

The zoning definitions treat replacing doors and windows as maintenance, and a certificate is not required for maintenance. Enlarging, closing or adding openings counts as major renovation and needs a permit. The codified texts carry no legal value, so email info.urb@ville.hudson.qc.ca and keep the reply.

Is my house under the heritage review?

The review covers listed sectors such as the old village, the commercial core and Sandy Beach, for major exterior work. Ask the planning service on 450 458-5347 whether your address is covered, and check your house on the town’s heritage inventory.

Can I deal with you in English?

Yes. Our team works in English and French, and your estimate and written quote come in the language you choose.

How long does the drive to Hudson take?

From 1190 Rue Bégin in Saint-Laurent it is 39 to 46 km, about 33 to 40 minutes without traffic, depending on the part of town. The estimate at your house costs nothing.

Does Rénoclimat cover windows in Hudson?

Rénoclimat lists up to $300 per eligible window and up to $4,500 for a house, as quebec.ca read on 13 November 2026. The program sets its own conditions, and we go through them with you before the work is booked.
