Whether your lintels have deteriorated due to rust, moisture, or aging, our team is equipped to handle projects of any size across Chicagoland and the surrounding suburbs.

What is a Lintel and Why is Replacement Necessary?

A lintel is a critical structural component located above doors, windows, or other openings. It supports the weight of the masonry or structure above the opening, ensuring safety and stability. Over time, lintels can corrode, crack, or fail, leading to issues such as masonry cracks, sagging, and water intrusion. Replacing a damaged lintel promptly is essential to prevent further structural problems and costly repairs.

Signs You May Need Lintel Replacement

If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to call our experts for an inspection:

  • Cracks in the masonry above windows or doors
  • Rust or corrosion on exposed lintels
  • Bulging or sagging masonry
  • Water leaks or staining around openings

Lintel Replacement – Start to Finish

Our Lintel Replacement Process

We follow a meticulous process to ensure quality and durability during lintel replacement:

  1. Inspection and Assessment: We begin with a thorough inspection to evaluate the condition of the existing lintel and surrounding masonry.
  2. Preparation and Stabilization: Temporary supports are installed to stabilize the structure while we safely remove the damaged lintel.
  3. Installation of the New Lintel: A new lintel, made from durable materials such as steel or reinforced concrete, is installed to meet the load requirements of the structure.
  4. Masonry Restoration: We carefully replace and match the surrounding masonry to restore the appearance and integrity of the structure.
  5. Final Inspection: The completed work is inspected to ensure it meets our high-quality standards and aligns with the building’s aesthetic.
