A lintel is the beam above a window or door that supports the masonry above. In Boston, where brick buildings are common, lintels are also common, but people often don’t pay much attention to repairing them as needed. Whether your lintel is wood or steel, it will need periodic repairs or eventual replacement. One can tell the lintel needs to be repaired if you see any cracks or shifting in the bricks directly above the window, or if you can see rust around the window (if it’s a steel lintel).
