Building Strong Foundations Across New York City
Helping property owners with their projects, solving issues efficiently, and delivering dependable, high-quality construction service.
Rust removal, corrosion treatment, and reinforcement before rust jacking pushes brick out of alignment above the opening.
Full steel lintel replacement when corrosion, sagging, or section loss has moved past what treatment can address.
Stabilizing and sealing cracked stone, concrete, and masonry lintels before the crack propagates into the surrounding wall.
Replacing failed brownstone, bluestone, and brick lintels with materials matched to the original facade.
Treating the brick and stone above the lintel that has already been damaged, so the repair does not sit under failing masonry.
Strengthening weakened spans where the structure can be saved without a full replacement.
Work Experience
The most common mistake we see on Brooklyn row houses is repointing the cracked brick above a window without touching the lintel underneath it. The steel keeps corroding, keeps expanding, and the same crack reopens in two or three winters.
We diagnose what is actually driving the movement, then repair the cause and the damage together.
Many Brooklyn row houses use brownstone or bluestone lintels rather than exposed steel, and those fail by cracking and delaminating instead of rusting. In designated historic districts covering Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Fort Greene, Cobble Hill, and Clinton Hill, replacing a visible lintel generally requires Landmarks Preservation Commission review, and the replacement is expected to match the original profile and material.
On a Brooklyn block with no side yard, the question is how you reach a third-floor window opening at all. We plan scaffold or lift access up front, coordinate with neighbors where the work sits near the property line, and keep the site contained on a narrow frontage.
Replacing a lintel almost always means rebuilding the brick or stone it displaced. We handle both, matching mortar color and joint profile so the repaired section blends into the facade rather than standing out as a patch above the window.
Our experts lead every project with clarity, responsibility, and a deep understanding of complex site requirements.
