A car into the house? We make it safe first.
A vehicle through the wall is a structural emergency before it's a repair. Our own crews handle emergency mitigation start to finish. For rebuilds, we manage every trade under one accountable team. We make the scene safe, shore the structure, secure the opening, and manage the rebuild.
A wall took a hit it was never built to take.
A vehicle strike loads a wall with force it was never designed for — and the wall that got hit is often carrying the floor or roof above it. The danger isn't just the hole; it's what the impact did to the load path. A structure that looks like it's just missing a section can be one bump away from coming down further.
So the first job is always make-safe: shore up what's bearing weight, confirm what's structural, and secure the opening — before anyone thinks about rebuilding. We assess and document structural damage; the work scope is project-specific.
What a vehicle impact does beyond the hole.
The opening is the obvious part. These are the structural signs we assess before anyone rebuilds over the damage.
A cracked or displaced load-bearing wall
If the wall that was hit carries the floor or roof above, cracking or movement means the load path may be compromised and needs structural assessment and documentation.
Sagging floors or ceilings above the hit
A floor or ceiling that dips near the impact means the structure lost support and needs shoring before any work begins.
Doors and windows that suddenly jam
Frames that stick after an impact are a sign the structure shifted — which is why we confirm what's safe before we close anything up.
Utilities torn open in the wall
An impact can shear water lines, gas, or electrical inside the wall — a hazard we identify and make safe as part of securing the scene.
Make it safe, shore it, secure it, rebuild it.
Our own crews handle emergency mitigation start to finish. For rebuilds, we manage every trade under one accountable team. We run the emergency in the right order — safety before speed — and manage the wall rebuild on one schedule.
We make the scene safe
First move is to get everyone clear of the damaged area and assess what the impact did to the structure. For a hit this size, your safety comes before the schedule.
We shore up the structure
Temporary shoring under anything the damaged wall was carrying — floor or roof above — so the opening can be worked without the structure moving further.
We assess, document, and secure the opening
We assess and document structural damage. TRC coordinates temporary protection for the opening.
We document it for insurance
Photos, measurements, and a detailed scope from the first visit — covering the wall, the framing, and everything inside — the record your adjuster needs to approve the full rebuild.
We rebuild the wall and what's behind it
TRC manages framing, sheathing, siding, drywall, and finishes on one schedule. Our own crews handle emergency mitigation start to finish. For rebuilds, we manage every trade under one accountable team.
Vehicle-into-structure questions, honestly answered.
Maybe not. Keep everyone clear of the affected area and contact emergency services when there is immediate danger. We assess and document structural damage.
It depends on the situation, and often more than one policy is involved (the driver's auto liability and your homeowners policy can both come into play). We document the damage thoroughly from the first visit so whichever carrier ends up responsible has the full record — and we help you sort out where the claim goes.
We prioritize vehicle-impact emergencies once the scene is safe, and we're typically on-site within 2 hours for emergencies. The response plan covers boarding and drying in the opening.
All of it. Our own crews handle emergency mitigation start to finish. For rebuilds, we manage every trade under one accountable team. We manage shoring, securing, framing, wall repair, and finishes on one schedule.
It ranges from a same-night secure-and-shore to a multi-week structural rebuild, depending on what the impact did to the framing. Once the damage is assessed and documented, we give you a clear timeline before any rebuild work starts.
