What a Varennes house asks of its windows and doors
Varennes has 21,198 residents (2021 census) on the Saint-Laurent, at a density of 224 per km². Its old village runs along rue Sainte-Anne, and newer streets spread out from there.
Houses lead the resale market
In the third quarter of 2026, about seven in ten Varennes sales were single-family houses, according to Centris. The median price for those houses was $643,750. A house at that value is worth fitting with windows that match its style, so we quote each opening on its own.
Vieux-Varennes has real heritage
The Basilique Sainte-Anne went up between 1884 and 1887. The Chapelle de procession Sainte-Anne dates from 1862 and has been a classified monument since 1981. Homes near them sit in a village the city treats with care.
Condos and small buildings
Condos made up about one in four Varennes sales that quarter. A condo board may set the colour and style of windows and doors. Send us your declaration of co-ownership and the board’s contact before the visit.
Large glazed units need exact measures
A tall gable window or a wide patio door is a big unit, and a small error shows. We measure the rough opening on site and order each one at that size.
Does Varennes require a permit to replace windows and doors?
For a same-size swap, often no. We read the city’s permits by-law 711 and its PIIA by-law 848 on 12 November 2026. The by-law texts carry the city’s own revision dates, and the city is the final answer for your address.
No permit if nine conditions are met
By-law 711 says no building permit is needed for renovation work if all of its conditions hold. The work must not fall under the PIIA by-law, must not change the use, the structure or the floor area and must not touch the height. It must not add, close or change the size of a window, a door or a similar opening. It must not change the class of exterior cladding. Read note X1 in the permits by-law.
Same-size swaps are exempt from PIIA outside the heritage list
In the heritage sector, the PIIA by-law exempts repair or replacement of any window or door if the position, the shape and the size of the opening stay the same, and so does the type of door or frame. That exemption covers only buildings that are not on the table 1 list in annex B. A listed house needs approval first. The text is in the city’s PIIA by-law 848.
What the heritage sector asks for
For buildings with heritage value, the by-law prefers restoration to renovation. It asks that decorative elements and mouldings be kept or replaced by pieces like the originals. It also asks that new exterior materials look like the original ones.
Who to call
The urban planning and environment department takes calls at 450 652-9888, extension 1300, and emails at urbanisme@ville.varennes.qc.ca. Permit applications go through the city’s online form. Our written quote lists every opening with its size, so you can show the city that nothing changes.

Questions Varennes owners ask
What permit rules apply to window replacement in Varennes?
Not if the work meets every condition in by-law 711, including that no opening is added, closed or resized and that the house is outside the PIIA scope. Otherwise ask the planning department before you order.
Is my house in the heritage sector of Varennes?
The city maps the PIIA sectors in annex A of its by-law, and lists some houses in annex B. Send us your address and we check both before the estimate.
What if I want a bigger or smaller window?
A size change removes the permit exemption of by-law 711 and the PIIA exemption too. Plan for a permit. We draw the new opening on the quote.
Do you supply wide patio doors in Varennes?
Yes. Our crew measures the opening at your house, and the factory builds the door to match. You receive one written quote, whether the door slides, swings or is extra wide.
Does the province help pay for replacement windows?
Yes. Québec’s Rénoclimat page, updated 13 October 2026, lists $300 per window, up to $4,500 for a house and $6,000 for a larger building. Eligibility follows the program terms on quebec.ca, and we guide you through the file.
