About Vaillancourt Doors and Windows

And we're off!

In 1947, Vaillancourt Doors and Windows made its debut onto the industrial landscape in the Centre-du-Québec region of the province. The family business was founded in Drummondville by Raymond Vaillancourt who launched his company in the garage behind his house on Notre DameStreet. A few years later, his son Real, decided to follow in his father's footsteps.

We're starting to grow

The company known at the time as R. Vaillancourt Doors and Windows, took its place in the doors and windows sector and quickly responded to the rapidly growing demand. Thus, in 1961, the company moved to a larger space on St. Pierre Street in Drummondville.

The arrival of PVC

During the following years, the building was enlarged several times, eventually growing from 14,000 to 60,000 ft².

In the mid 1980s, PVC made its appearance in window and door manufacturing and allowed the market to make considerable progress. The company adapted quickly in order to preserve its place among the top window manufacturers in Quebec.

The next generation

In 1988, Pierre Vaillancourt, followed by his brother Carl (in 1994), takes his place as the next generation in this family company. Already, these young entrepreneurs show proactive vision and manage the company with a mission to innovate and stand out from the competition. To them, the work force represents the key to success in arriving at a high-quality product, which is why they always listen to their team and together develop the means to continually improvise processes and procedures.

A new factory

In 2006, due to strong market growth in renovation and high demand in the distribution sector, the company purchased land along highway 20. A modern factory, including a large showroom, was built in the Saint-Germain-de-Grantham industrial park.

The company also installed a test lab at its research and development centre where it can test products by making them face the worst possible extremes of the Quebec climate. They also installed a 12,000 ft² paint room, allowing products to be painted in a controlled environment with the most high-performance equipment available on the market.

In this way, Vaillancourt Doors and Windows was able to considerably increase production, develop new markets and better serve its clientele.

Brand evolution

The company revealed its new brand image in 2011 transitioning from R. Vaillancourt Doors and Windows to simply Vaillancourt Doors and Windows.

The new graphic design and logo represent product quality, offer improved brand recognition and simplify our signature. In addition, the new slogan "The Obvious Difference!" is also highlighted. It clearly illustrates that Vaillancourt products are a wise choice.

A branch in Sherbrooke

Victim of its growing success, the company opened a branch in Sherbrooke in May 2016. The craze of Sherbrooke residents for these 100% Quebec products, guaranteed for life, is such that the branch is finally relocated in 2021 to 4170 Bourque Boulevard in a larger and more accessible facility. This move is still a success today, to better accommodate the high number of customers and offer even more choice of materials!

A successful debut

The year 2022 sees the launch of the series 2 door. Vaillancourt Doors and Windows once again demonstrates its remarkable sense of innovation by announcing an all-new door unique for both its design and its unparalleled durability. Without visible sealant and equipped with extruded aluminum screw covers, this door boasts a sophisticated, modern esthetic designed to meet to the most demanding requirements.

New branch in Quebec City

To the delight of residents of the Quebec City area, a brand-new branch is added to the Vaillancourt family in 2023 at 1171 Charest Boulevard West in Quebec City! Customers can now get advice on-site from the dynamic team and purchase one of the many models of doors and windows to create a contemporary look in their home. Reliable, professional installation is also offered.

New branch in Trois-Rivières

In April 2024, a new Vaillancourt Doors and Windows branch opens its doors in Trois-Rivières. Located at 2499 Boulevard des Récollets, the store has a huge showroom perfectly configured to welcome customers. The entire Mauricie region now enjoys access to quality Vaillancourt Doors and Windows products and outstanding service from the company’s dedicated team.

A new phase

Vaillancourt Doors and Windows reaches another milestone in its history: after more than 38 years growing the business alongside his brother Carl, Pierre Vaillancourt steps back for a well-earned retirement and sells his shares to Carl, who becomes the sole owner. With his usual passion and determination, Carl is committed to leading further development of the family business and taking it to new heights.
The same vision and values behind the success of Vaillancourt Doors and Windows will continue to guide every decision. Embracing innovation and offering quality products remain the company’s key priorities. Together, the future looks promising indeed!

The success continues

With the innovative spirit that characterizes the brand, Vaillancourt Doors and Windows continues to grow. A commitment to excellence for over 75 years is its hallmark!

Today, Vaillancourt Doors and Windows has much to be proud of, as it occupies a prime position in the renovation and construction industry as one of the 300 largest SMEs in Quebec.

The company has retailers throughout Quebec and an amazing team of more than 250 employees, some of whom have been with us for over 25 years… or even 50!
