We Know Your Neighborhood
Every Montreal borough has its own architectural personality and its own headaches. Here's how we handle them.
Westmount & NDG Heritage Homes
Stone and brick facades from the early 1900s need windows that match the original proportions. We work with heritage committees to get approvals and use custom-profiled PVC that mimics the look of the original wood frames - without the rot.
West Island Suburban Splits
Pointe-Claire, Kirkland, and DDO homes built in the 1960s–80s often have non-standard rough openings from original aluminum frames. We measure every opening individually and manufacture to exact dimensions - no shimming, no gaps.
Laval & South Shore Condos
Condo boards in Brossard, Longueuil, and Chomedey often mandate uniform exterior appearance. We provide spec sheets and color samples for board approval before ordering, and coordinate installation schedules to minimize disruption to neighbors.
Why Montreal Demands More from Windows
The -30°C Challenge
Freeze-thaw cycles: Montreal averages 150+ freeze-thaw cycles per winter. Cheap weatherstripping cracks after one season. We use multi-fin TPE gaskets rated to -40°C that maintain compression for 20+ years.
Ice damming: Flat-roof triplexes in Verdun and LaSalle are prone to ice dams. Proper window flashing and drip caps are critical - we install them as standard, not as an upsell.
The Humidity Problem
Summer condensation: Montreal's July humidity (avg. 70%+) combined with air conditioning creates condensation on poorly insulated frames. We recommend warm-edge spacers and argon-filled double or triple glazing to keep the interior glass surface above the dew point.
Basement moisture: Below-grade windows in Montreal basements need proper drainage channels and rot-proof PVC frames - never wood.
Save Money with Provincial Incentives
Quebec homeowners have access to rebate programs that can offset a significant portion of your window and door investment.
Rénoclimat
Quebec's flagship energy retrofit program. Get a pre- and post-renovation energy audit, then claim rebates of up to $20,000 for qualifying improvements including windows and doors. We help you understand which products qualify.
LogisVert
Hydro-Québec's program for energy-efficient home improvements. Eligible window and door replacements can earn rebates. Products must meet specific U-factor and SHGC thresholds - all our ENERGY STAR products qualify.
Federal Greener Homes Grant
Up to $5,000 from the Canada Greener Homes Grant for eligible retrofits. Stackable with provincial programs. Requires a pre-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation - we can recommend certified energy advisors in Montreal.

Real feedback from clients across the Greater Montreal area.
They replaced 14 windows in our 1920s Westmount home without damaging the original brick moulding. The heritage committee approved the design on the first submission.
Marie-Claire D.
Living in Lachine, the winter wind off the canal is brutal. The new triple-glazed casements cut our heating bill by about 30%. The crew was fast and cleaned up everything.
Patrick L.
Our condo board in Brossard required specific color matching. Aurora provided samples, got approval, and installed 6 units in one day. Very professional.

Our Montreal Installation Process
Same high standards, adapted for Quebec requirements.
Quebec Permit & Heritage Support
Heritage zones: For properties in designated heritage areas (Westmount, parts of NDG, Old Montreal), we prepare documentation for municipal heritage committees including window profiles, color specs, and proportional drawings.
RBQ compliance: As an RBQ-licensed contractor, all our work meets Quebec's Régie du bâtiment standards. Your contract includes the mandatory RBQ warranty plan.
Winter Installation Protocol
Heated enclosures: For January/February installs, we use temporary heated enclosures around each opening to maintain workable temperatures for sealants and foams.
Low-temp products: We use winter-grade PU foam (rated to -20°C application) and silicone sealants that cure in cold weather. Your home stays warm - we swap one window at a time, never leaving openings exposed.
Questions from Montreal Homeowners
Do I need a permit to replace windows in Westmount or NDG?
In designated heritage zones, yes - you typically need approval from the municipal heritage committee before changing window profiles or colors. We handle the submission paperwork and have a strong track record of first-submission approvals. For standard replacements outside heritage zones, no permit is usually required.
How do Rénoclimat rebates work with your installation?
You need a pre-renovation EnerGuide evaluation before any work begins. We can recommend certified energy advisors in Montreal. After installation, a second evaluation measures the improvement. The rebate amount depends on the energy gain - our ENERGY STAR products typically qualify for the maximum tier.
Can you install during a Montreal winter?
Yes, we install year-round. Our winter protocol includes heated enclosures, low-temperature sealants rated to -20°C, and a one-window-at-a-time approach so your home is never exposed to the cold. We've installed through every Montreal winter since we opened.
Do you offer bilingual service?
Our Montreal team serves clients in both French and English. Contracts, invoices, and all documentation are available in your preferred language.
What about condo installations in Laval or the South Shore?
We work with condo boards regularly. We provide spec sheets, color samples, and installation schedules for board approval. We coordinate with building management to minimize disruption and follow all building-specific rules for noise hours and elevator access.
How does the RBQ warranty plan protect me?
As an RBQ-licensed contractor, your project is covered by the Garantie de construction résidentielle (GCR) plan. This provides protection against construction defects for up to 5 years, independent of our own workmanship warranty. It's a legal requirement in Quebec and an extra layer of protection you won't get from unlicensed installers.
