In urban environments like New York City, building components such as window lintels and sills often go unnoticed—until they begin to fail. These structural elements are essential in supporting window openings and shielding the building from water infiltration. Cracked, rusted, or shifting lintels can lead to wall damage, draft issues, and even major safety concerns if not addressed promptly.

At Sclafmore Construction, we provide professional lintel and sill replacement services to restore structural support and preserve your building’s exterior integrity. Whether you own a residential brownstone or a multi-story commercial property, our team is trained to identify early warning signs and replace compromised elements using durable materials and precise installation methods.

Our approach begins with a comprehensive inspection of the facade, paying special attention to signs of bulging brick, cracks, corrosion stains, and sagging sills. Once deterioration is confirmed, we carefully remove surrounding masonry, replace the lintel or sill using steel, precast concrete, or stone as required, and then reinstall the masonry to original specifications. We also install flashing and weep systems to prevent future water issues.

All work is carried out in full compliance with NYC DOB codes and, when applicable, LPC requirements for historic structures. Our replacements are designed to blend seamlessly with existing architecture while significantly improving safety and weather resistance.

By trusting Sclafmore Construction with your lintel and sill replacement, you ensure your building maintains both its structural integrity and its curb appeal for years to come.
