Vimont has a honeycomb quarter, an old parish village and owners who stay

Vimont and Auteuil form one census sector of 60,300 residents. It was the only one of Laval’s six sectors that lost population from 2016 to 2021, down 1.0%.

78.8%

Owners who stay: 78.8% of households own

In this sector, 71.3% of homes are houses. Median age is 44.0 and 18.2% of residents are 65 or older. The average home value is $447,600. A shrinking population and a long stay go together here, and that suits a whole-house job done once and done well. We put each opening on its own line, so you can still stage the work.

The Abeilles quarter: semi-detached homes with a hexagonal plan

The city’s 2021 study of modern architecture describes a Vimont quarter built in 1970 and 1971, known as Paravert or the Abeilles quarter. It holds close to 300 semi-detached units in two models, one storey and two storeys, in near-equal shares. Each plan is a hexagon, so walls meet at angles other than 90 degrees. Streets include rue des Abeilles, rue des Alvéoles, rue du Rucher and rue de la Reine. An angled wall can leave a frame that is not square, so we measure each opening at the top, middle and bottom.

The old Saint-Elzéar village on boulevard Saint-Elzéar Est

The parish of Saint-Elzéar dates from 1901. Its Romanesque Revival church went up between 1917 and 1919, and the city’s 2018 inventory rates its heritage value as superior. Most of the 48 sheets in that inventory for Vimont sit on boulevard Saint-Elzéar Est. They describe traditional Québec houses from about 1890 to 1930. For many of them the advice is wood casement windows with large panes, or wood guillotine windows, and one sheet adds traditional doors with glass and a transom.

1950s cottages and their siding

The city’s 2015 pre-inventory notes cottages from about 1950 in Vimont, for example on rue Daniel, with siding made of asbestos-cement tiles. If your house dates from that time, tell us at the estimate what the siding is made of, so the crew can plan the work around it.

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

Not when the new unit keeps the old size. Vimont is a Laval district, so Laval’s rules apply, and its permit table lists same-size replacement of doors and windows under no permit.

Same dimensions: no permit

Laval’s page on exterior residential renovation sets two columns. The no-permit one holds doors and windows replaced with the same dimensions. The permit one holds a size change, an added opening and any unit less than 1.5 m from the lot line. We measure on site first, so the answer for your wall is clear before you order.

One review zone covers the old village

A 2021 report for the city lists Saint-Elzéar and Des Laurentides among five urban heritage territories that received architectural-control rules, called PIIA, in 1997. The city’s PIIA page names exterior renovation among the projects a PIIA can reach. Enter your address in the Info-règlements map and look for the notice that begins Attention!. That tells you if special provisions apply before you pick a style.

The Abeilles quarter: a study, not a rule

The 2021 report proposes the quarter as an ensemble. It says the address lists would be narrowed later, so that only houses that kept their original features come under planning rules. We found no by-law for the quarter. Ask the Service de l’urbanisme before you change the look of a façade, and tell us if your neighbour shares your wall.

How we serve Vimont from our Saint-Laurent showroom

Boulevard des Laurentides

20 km and about 18 minutes, without traffic, the closest part of Vimont to us. The city’s report lists a commercial building from the 1960s on this boulevard, and the Cité-de-la-Santé hospital stands nearby on boulevard René-Laennec. Shops and offices along the boulevard can ask us for a commercial quote.

Boulevard Saint-Elzéar Est, the old village

22 km and about 21 minutes. In old houses we look first at the sill, the trim and the wood under old paint. We write any repair on its own line, so you can compare window prices with no repair mixed in.

The Abeilles quarter

24 km and about 25 minutes. On a semi-detached house a neighbour shares your wall, so matching colour and style keep the pair looking like one building. Tell us if your neighbour plans work too.

Questions Vimont owners ask

Do I need a permit to change windows in Vimont?

No, if every new window has the same dimensions as the one it replaces. Laval’s permit table puts that work in its no-permit column. You need a permit when the size changes, when you add an opening or when a unit sits less than 1.5 m from the lot line.

My house is in the Abeilles quarter and the walls are angled. How do you handle that?

We measure each opening on site and order each unit to that size. Tell us at the estimate that your walls are angled, and we confirm on the spot which style fits each opening.

Is my old house near the Saint-Elzéar church under heritage rules?

Laval’s inventory gives advice on older houses there, and we read no by-law in it. A 2021 city report says architectural-control rules reached the area in 1997. Check your address in Info-règlements or phone the Service de l’urbanisme before you choose a style.

How far is Vimont from your showroom?

Our showroom is at 1190 Rue Bégin in Saint-Laurent. By road it is 20 to 24 km from the parts of Vimont we measured. The in-home estimate is free and the quote comes in writing.

How much can Rénoclimat give me for windows?

Quebec’s program pays $300 per eligible window on files opened since October 1, 2026. The cap is $4,500 for a house and $6,000 for a multi-unit building. The conditions are on quebec.ca, and we help you fill the form.
