What Pointe-Claire homes ask of a window
Pointe-Claire counted 13,310 households in the 2021 census, up 7.6% from 2016. Two homes in three (67.1%) are single-family houses. One home in five (20.8%) sits in a building of five storeys or more. That mix shapes who orders the work and how.
The Village is old, and the stone shows it
The Village is the oldest part of the city. The city’s heritage pages describe the Antoine-Pilon house at 258 chemin du Bord-du-Lac, first built around 1707 and rebuilt in 1979 and 1980, and a fieldstone house at 42 avenue Sainte-Anne from around 1848. Stone walls like these are deep, so we measure the depth of each opening before we talk about a style.
Valois carries a family name
The Valois neighbourhood takes its name from a family that owned the Antoine-Pilon house after the Pilons. A neighbourhood with roots that old keeps its look when a new window repeats the proportions of the old one. We write down the sash lines and the trim width on site, and the quote shows the grid you pick.
One home in five is in a tall building
In a condo tower or a mid-rise, the declaration of co-ownership says who owns the exterior windows. Start with the board, and keep the reply with your file. We quote the work to the syndicate or to the unit owner, whichever the board names.
Fewer big repairs than five years before
Occupants reported major repairs needed in 5.7% of Pointe-Claire homes in 2021, down 14.5% from 2016, and minor repairs in 28.7%, down 2.7%. Owners here keep their houses up. A well-kept house still ages at its openings, and a cold sill or a draft line tells you a window has reached its end.
Three in ten households rent
The census counts 4,095 rented homes against 9,220 owned ones. If you rent, the landlord or the manager orders the work and we quote to that person. We can walk a tenant through the visit so the day stays short.
What does Pointe-Claire require for doors and windows?
Two layers apply. The city’s building permit rule covers transformations. A second review, called SPAIP, covers heritage buildings and the older sectors. Send your address to the city first, and it tells you which layer reaches your house.
A permit for transformation, none for plain upkeep
The city’s 2026 permit guide (seen 12 November 2026) bans any transformation of a building without a permit, and the same for changing the outside look of a building covered by its SPAIP by-law. It adds that regular maintenance and minor repairs need no permit. It does not say where a window swap falls, so we leave that answer to the city.
Older sectors: the committee, then council
The city’s SPAIP page says the by-law protects heritage buildings and the older sectors. A project there goes first to the planning advisory committee and then to the municipal council. For work that changes the outside look, the page asks for scaled plans, material samples and photos of the existing building. A map on the page shows which sectors are covered.
Thirty days, and longer inside SPAIP
The guide says the city approves a compliant file within 30 days of the date it is complete. A project under the SPAIP by-law justifies a longer wait. Work cannot start before the permit is issued.
How to file
The city takes permit files by email, as PDFs, at urbanisme@pointe-claire.ca. Whoever files for the owner needs the owner’s written authorization. We prepare the sizes, the data sheets and the quote you attach.

11 km and about 15 minutes. Send a photo of each façade. We tell you before the visit which openings look standard. You check the city’s SPAIP map for your street, and ask the city if your block is on it.
The Village, along chemin du Bord-du-Lac
15 km and about 18 minutes. Plan extra time for the permit conversation, because the Village is where heritage buildings stand. Bring your address and a photo of the front to the city before you choose a style.

Questions Pointe-Claire owners ask
Do I need a permit to replace windows in Pointe-Claire?
The city requires a permit to transform a building and to change the outside look of a building under its SPAIP by-law. It says regular maintenance and minor repairs need none. Send your address and a photo to urbanisme@pointe-claire.ca and ask about your exact job.
What is SPAIP, and does my house fall under it?
SPAIP is the city’s site planning and architectural integration by-law. It covers heritage buildings and the older sectors. The city’s page has a map. If your house is on or near the Village side, check the map first.
Can I replace windows in a Pointe-Claire condo?
Yes, once the board agrees. In a building of five storeys or more, the declaration of co-ownership says who owns the exterior windows. Ask the syndicate, then book your estimate.
How long does the city take?
The guide says 30 days from a complete file. A project under SPAIP takes longer because the committee and the council both review it. Send the file early.
Is there a Québec grant for new windows in Pointe-Claire?
Yes. Rénoclimat pays $300 for each eligible window, up to $4,500 for a house and up to $6,000 for a duplex, a triplex or a larger residential building. It applies to files opened since 1 October 2026, and conditions apply. Check quebec.ca for the current rules.
