The present invention includes a lintel support to aid in lintel repair and/or reinforcement. The lintel support has a body with a top, a bottom, and a height extending therebetween; at least one claw at the top; and a bracket at the bottom. In use, points are dug out of a mortar line above the lintel and the claws of the lintel support are positioned into those points. With the claws so positioned, the bracket will be below the failing lintel. A support beam is placed under the bracket and a jack lift provides uplift at the mortar line where the claws are positioned.
