Window Sills
Window sills may seem like a small detail, but they play a big role in both the appearance and protection of your home. They help shed water away from the wall, prevent leaks, and add architectural definition to your exterior. In Ottawa’s freeze-thaw climate, sills often suffer from cracking, spalling, and water damage over time.
At Solid Masonry, we restore and replace stone, brick, and concrete window sills with precision and care. Whether you’re maintaining a heritage home or upgrading to a new design, our expert masons ensure your sills are functional, weather-resistant, and visually aligned with your home’s character.
