Lintel Replacement
Whether it’s the lintel of a door, or window lintels – they’re unseen superheroes, helping to support the weight of your brickwork. When lintels deteriorate, your home’s openings could be in danger, resulting in sudden and unforeseen collapses. At AAG Construction, we like to say that we’re in the business of helping people live safer, because no one wants to feel concerned about if their house is going to fall onto them or not. If yours have seen better days, consider our lintel replacement services.
What is Lintel Replacement?
Lintel repair involves removing a damaged or failing lintel and installing a new, high-quality lintel to support the weight-bearing load above the opening. Our residential masonry contractors can address issues with various lintel materials, including:
- Corroded Steel Lintels: Steel lintels can rust over time, losing their structural capacity. We replace these with new, galvanized steel lintels that resist corrosion and ensure lasting support. We also apply an extra layer of paint.
- Cracked Concrete Lintels: Cracks in concrete lintels can compromise their strength. We remove and replace these with new, high-strength concrete lintels designed to handle the load.
- Deteriorated Brick Lintels: Traditional brick or stone lintels can weaken and crumble. We can replace them with new lintels of the same material, ensuring a historically accurate appearance, or with a stronger alternative depending on your needs.
Benefits of Lintel Replacement
Don’t ignore the signs of a failing lintel. Prompt replacement offers significant advantages:
- Structural Integrity: A new lintel ensures the safe support of the brickwork above the opening, preventing cracks and potential collapse.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing your lintels are strong and reliable provides peace of mind and protects your most valuable asset – your home.
- Increased Property Value: Addressing structural issues can enhance the value of your property.
- Improved Curb Appeal: New lintels can add a touch of visual appeal to your home’s exterior.
