Why lintels do not lead a Baldwinsville page
We have not built Baldwinsville a full lintel page, because its housing does not carry one. 17.3 percent of the village was built between 1940 and 1959, nineteenth of the 22 places in the county ranking, on a median build year of 1975 with roughly 43 percent built since 1980. So the bare steel angle that dominates Galeville, Mattydale and Fairmount is not the usual story here. It still exists on a minority of addresses, and where it does the work is exactly the same as anywhere else.
What lintel repair involves
When a Baldwinsville crack is worth opening up
Two signs put steel back in play whatever the village average says. A rust stain bleeding down from the top corner of an opening means water has already reached metal inside the wall. A brick course above an opening that no longer reads level means something beneath it has grown. Either of those is worth a look. Without them, on a house built since 1980, a crack over a window is more likely to be movement or a drainage detail, and opening the wall would be an expensive way to establish that.
Nineteenth of 22 places on this measure
On the county's 1940 to 1959 ranking Baldwinsville is 17.3 percent, with Marcellus town at 15.1, Skaneateles village at 13.1 and Clay at 12.8 below it, against Galeville at 60.7. Leading this page with a steel lintel story would mean selling another town's problem here.
Two signs beat the average
A rust stain from the top corner of an opening, or a course that no longer reads level, puts steel in play regardless of the build decade. The ranking is a probability for a village, not a survey of your house, and those two signs are what override it.
17.3 percent, and where that puts the village
Ranked instead by the share of housing built between 1940 and 1959, the era in which steel angle lintels over openings became standard in brick and brick-veneer houses, the county orders itself completely differently: Galeville 60.7 percent, Seneca Knolls 58.9, Mattydale 54.6, Westvale 51.3, Lyncourt 47.1, Fairmount 42.7, North Syracuse village 38.5, Geddes town 37.1, Salina town 35.0, Solvay village 31.3, Camillus town 30.4, Liverpool village 27.1, Fayetteville village 26.8, East Syracuse village 26.4, DeWitt town 25.6, the City of Syracuse 23.3, Manlius town 22.3, Cicero town 19.7, Baldwinsville village 17.3, Marcellus town 15.1, Skaneateles village 13.1 and Clay town 12.8.

Baldwinsville village has 3,784 housing units with a median year of construction of 1975, a pre-1940 share of 20.6 percent and 17.3 percent built between 1940 and 1959, so 56.7 percent of the village predates 1980. Marcellus village has 1,031 units, a median of 1952, a pre-1940 share of 38.4 percent and 81.5 percent built before 1980, and the Town of Marcellus around it has 2,789 units, a median of 1963 and a pre-1940 share of 31.8 percent.

Is there a stain from the top corner?
Look at the brick below the corner of the opening, then send the Baldwinsville address with what you see.

Openings: what Baldwinsville owners should ask
There is a crack over our window. Should we assume it is the lintel?
Not in this village, and not without a sign. 17.3 percent of Baldwinsville was built between 1940 and 1959 and roughly 43 percent since 1980, so most houses here were built when flashing over an opening was expected. Look for a rust stain from the top corner and put a level on the course above the window. If either one is off, steel is in play. If neither is, the likelier answers are movement or drainage.
Do you take on lintel work in Baldwinsville?
Yes. We have simply not written the village a page claiming steel over the openings is its defining problem, because the numbers say otherwise. Where a Baldwinsville house does have a corroding angle, the work is the same as everywhere: establish how much section is left once the scale is off, then either clean and recoat sound steel, or take the brick down, replace the angle and rebuild the opening with flashing and weepholes.
