Warning Signs
When Sills and Lintels Need Replacement
Brick damage doesn't fix itself. Spot these warning signs early to avoid expensive repairs later.
Diagonal Cracks from Window Corners
Diagonal Cracks from Window Corners
Classic sign of lintel failure—the steel beam has corroded and expanded, forcing brick apart. Cracks angle upward from corners as the lintel loses structural capacity and can no longer support weight above.
Rust Stains Bleeding Through Masonry
Rust Stains Bleeding Through Masonry
Visible rust bleeding through mortar joints means the steel lintel is corroding. Rust occupies six times the volume of steel, cracking surrounding materials and accelerating deterioration rapidly.
Water Pooling on Windowsills
Water Pooling on Windowsills
Sills should slope away from windows to shed water. Flat or reverse-sloped sills cause water intrusion, leading to interior damage, mold risk, and rotting wood frames that worsen over time.

Structural masonry
The hidden structure around openings
Lintels are steel or concrete beams above windows and doors that support the brick above. Sills are the horizontal surfaces at window bases that shed water away from the building.
Both components are critical for building integrity and water management. Lintels carry the full weight of brick above openings—when they fail, cracks appear and structural damage follows. Sills direct water away—when they fail, water enters walls and causes damage.
What Sills and Lintels Includes:
Lintels support brick above every opening
Sills direct water away from windows
Both fail gradually then suddenly

What affects sill and lintel cost

What Influences Your Quote?
Number of openings
Per-opening cost decreases with multiple units. Mobilization is spread across more work.
Opening size
Larger openings require longer lintels and more brick work to disturb and rebuild.
Material selection
Standard galvanized lintels are economical. Stainless steel or limestone sills cost more.
Access requirements
Ground-level openings are straightforward. Upper floors may require scaffolding.
