Structural Damage by Vehicle

Shoring, form of prop or support, usually temporary, that is used during the repair or original construction of buildings and in excavations. Temporary support may be required, for example, to relieve the load on a masonry wall while it is repaired or reinforced. Our experts are trained to find any areas that are need in structural support.

Vehicle Impact Board Up and Shoring in Chicago and the Western Suburbs

A car through a storefront or a truck into a garage wall leaves a large hole and often a damaged support. Accurate Board-Up & Glass secures the opening, stabilizes the structure and gets the building safe the same day.

Common vehicle damage we secure

• Storefront windows and entry doors hit by cars
• Garage walls and overhead door openings
• Brick and block walls with broken or missing sections
• Corner columns and posts that were struck
• Gas station canopies and drive through openings

Board up plus shoring in one visit

Vehicle impacts are different from broken windows. The car may have hit a load bearing wall or a column. Our crew checks the structure first. If a beam or wall is compromised we install temporary shoring posts before closing the opening. Then we frame and board the hole so the building is weather tight and secure.

Keeping your business open

For storefronts we can build a framed plywood wall with a temporary door so you can keep operating while repairs are planned. We can also install temporary glass if the frame is intact.

Insurance and liability

Vehicle impact claims often involve two insurance companies: the driver’s auto policy and your property policy. We document the damage with photos, provide a detailed invoice and can speak with either adjuster about what was done and why.

Response you can count on

Police and fire departments often call board up companies from the scene. We answer the phone 24 hours a day and dispatch a crew from our Hinsdale base with materials on the truck.
