Lintel Painting Contractor

Windows are built from a variety of materials like different types of woods, high grade plastics, and weather-resistant metals. Weather conditions must be considered when it comes to window installation and maintenance. This, along with choosing the right products to use, can cause a world of confusion where people often miss a crucial element in their facade design plan - the lintel.

What is a lintel and why paint it?

Lintels provide a visible means of support in the structural integrity of windows. They are typically made of angular steel, stone or cast concrete and found on the top of all doors and windows in a typical structure. Despite its diminutive nature, this piece of metal is crucial to a façade’s integrity. They carry heavy weight and require inspection to be approved.

Since they are located on your building’s exterior, they are susceptible to rust. A severely rusted lintel will begin to expand because of moisture and water damage. The expansion can result in cracks in your façade which can lead to a costly repair bill.

For this reason, they need maintenance and upkeep to protect your home or business building exterior. Experts recommend having your lintels checked annually, and this is where Paintworks & Decorating can step in.

Park Slope Exterior Painting

Despite our best efforts, we do judge a book by its cover, people by their attire and a business for the front exterior appearance of its building. The Paintworks & Decorating team was delighted to roll into the Park Slope neighborhood once again, this time to spruce up and re-paint the very cool real estate company Compass's front door and window frames. We covered the sidewalk, expertly taped around the window frames and scraped off old crumbling paint before priming, which occurs before painting anything for a perfect adhering foundation. The window frames have clear, sharp painted edges where they meet the glass because our painters expertly select the right brush for the job and use the kind of steady hand that comes with copious experience painting slim, narrow things. The front door is totally updated with a smooth, new coat of paint. We even power-washed the sign. Inside, the professional real estate agents with Compass are proud of this sleek, smart appearance and extend a special welcome to step inside and visit about your own housing and property hopes and dreams.
