About This Service

Professional Window Lintels in NYC

Window lintels carry the weight of masonry above window and door openings. When a steel lintel rusts and expands, it pushes brick apart and causes cracks, spalling, and even facade collapse. Allstate Construction specializes in lintel inspection, repair, and replacement — one of the most critical facade repairs for NYC masonry buildings.

The Allstate Difference

We carry all required NYC DOB permits for structural facade work. Our team has replaced thousands of lintels across NYC residential and commercial buildings.

FAQs

Common Questions About Window Lintels

Look for horizontal cracks above windows, brick bulging outward, rust staining on the facade, and gaps between brick courses above openings. These are signs of rust jacking.

Minor surface rust can be treated and encapsulated if the section is still structurally sound. Severe rust jacking with section loss requires full replacement.

One window lintel typically takes 1–2 days, including masonry rebuild. A building-wide lintel program is scheduled systematically to minimize disruption.
