Lintel Repair in Oak Park, IL
Rusted Lintels, Fixed Right — Serving Oak Park
Why Oak Park Homeowners Choose Expert Lintel Repair
Rusted steel lintels above windows and doors expand as they corrode, cracking the brick above the opening and bowing it outward. Tuckpointing alone won't fix it — the lintel itself has to come out. We replace it properly before the damage spreads.
Oak Park's stock of early-1900s Prairie-style, Foursquare, and bungalow brick homes near Ridgeland, Oak Park Avenue, and throughout the historic district relies on steel lintels that are now well past a century old in many cases. Original lintels installed during that first building boom are especially prone to rust expansion, and we see the resulting diagonal cracking often on the village's older housing stock.
