Saint-Lazare homes: wide lots, a 1990s building boom and horse country
Saint-Lazare had 22,354 residents in the 2021 census, up 12% from 2016. The town covers 67.5 square kilometres in Vaudreuil-Soulanges, so houses stand well apart.
Single-family houses set the market
Statistics Canada counted 7,749 occupied dwellings here in 2021. The Centris sales board shows how little else trades. In the four quarters to September 2026 it lists 244 single-family sales, against 6 condo sales and 3 plex sales. A house on a wide lot has a long façade, a patio door onto a deck and many windows facing the trees. We quote the whole house in one visit and put each opening on its own line.
A window put in around 1995 is about thirty years old
The town grew fast in the 1990s, led by young families who left the island for larger lots. Its population went from 19,917 in 2016 to 22,354 in 2021. Look for fog between the panes, a draught at the sash, a slider that sticks or soft wood under a deck door. Send us photos of those spots and we tell you before the visit what the replacement involves.
Horse country: outbuildings count too
The city describes its own character as equestrian and wooded. Its housing page lists horse shelters, private stables and riding rings as accessory buildings, with a permit and a deposit in some cases. If you also own a detached garage or a workshop, we can quote its windows and doors with the house. For a stable or a riding ring, ask the city about the building rules first.
Plan one trip: the showroom is 38 to 42 km away
Our crews and our samples travel from Saint-Laurent, so we fit the whole job into as few trips as we can. Send photos and a rough list of openings. We reply with questions, then measure everything at one visit and leave you a written quote with one price per opening.
Do I need a permit to replace windows or doors in Saint-Lazare?
It depends on the size of the job. Saint-Lazare sets a $15,000 line in its renovation rules. The city’s page does not name windows or doors, so we use the line as the guide and call the city when your quote comes close to it.
The $15,000 line
The city’s construction and renovation page says a permit or certificate is mandatory before renovation, construction, expansion or demolition. It then lists work that needs none. One item is transformation, renovation, repair or maintenance that costs $15,000 or less and leaves the foundation and the structure as they are. A small job can fall under that line. A whole house of new windows can pass it.
Wider and new openings touch the structure
The exemption holds only when the foundation and the structure stay unchanged. We read that to mean a wider opening, a new window or a new door needs a permit. The page does not say it in those words. So we ask the Service de l’urbanisme before we order anything that changes an opening.
Architectural review zones (PIIA)
A star on the same list says a permit is still required for work covered by the by-law on site planning and architectural integration, known as PIIA. The page does not say which streets that covers. Ask the city about your address before you choose a style or a frame colour.
Who to call and how to apply
The Service de l’urbanisme is at 1960 chemin Sainte-Angélique. Its phone is 450 424-8000, extension 242. It opens Monday to Thursday from 8:00 to 12:00 and 12:45 to 16:30, and Friday morning. Renovation permits can be requested on the city’s online permit page. The city adds that its web copies of by-laws are for information, and only a certified copy is official.

Chemin Saint-Louis
38 km and about 31 minutes, without traffic. This is the nearest of the three stretches we measured. We keep the visit to one trip, so bring the list of every window and door you want priced, from the garage side to the back deck.
Chemin Sainte-Angélique and the town hall area
40 km and about 35 minutes. The permit office sits here. When your quote lands near the $15,000 line, we help you word the question for the city, and you can phone the office before you sign.
Côte Saint-Charles and the west side
42 km and about 34 minutes, west of the town hall. Lots here can be long, so tell us at booking where the crew can park and how far the door is from the road.

Questions Saint-Lazare owners ask
Is a city permit needed to replace windows in Saint-Lazare?
Not for renovation work of $15,000 or less that leaves the foundation and the structure alone. The city’s page does not list windows by name. Call the Service de l’urbanisme at 450 424-8000, extension 242, when your project is close to that amount or changes the size of an opening.
Can you price my whole house in one visit?
Yes. We measure every opening on one visit and write one price per opening. If you plan to work in stages, tell us, and we quote each stage so the frames and colours match.
Do you replace windows and doors on a detached garage or a workshop?
We quote them with the house. Send a photo of the building and the number of openings. For a stable or a riding ring, the city lists permit rules for those buildings, so ask it first.
How far is Saint-Lazare from your showroom, and is the estimate free?
Our showroom is at 1190 Rue Bégin in Saint-Laurent, 38 to 42 km by road. The in-home estimate costs nothing and the quote comes in writing.
How much does Rénoclimat pay for windows?
Quebec’s page on the program, updated October 13, 2026, shows $300 per window up to $4,500 for a house. A multi-unit building can reach $6,000. Read the conditions on quebec.ca and ask us to help with the file.
