Call (604) 206-5727 — 24/7. Parkade vehicle impacts produce a specific category of damage: bent or toppled bollards, cracked concrete columns, damaged parkade entry doors, and structural damage to the parking structure itself. Custom Commercial Garage Doors Ltd coordinates the full scope for strata corporations and commercial property managers — from same-day securing to bollard replacement, structural coordination, and overhead door reinstall. Part of the full vehicle impact repair service. See also: vehicle impact at a strata property.
What Gets Damaged in a Parkade Impact
Underground and above-grade parkade impacts typically involve some combination of:
- Steel bollards — protective posts separating vehicle lanes from pedestrian areas or protecting structural elements. A sheared or bent bollard needs replacement, not straightening.
- Concrete structural columns — spalled or cracked concrete on a load-bearing column requires engineering assessment before any cosmetic repair is attempted.
- Steel pipe columns and posts — bent or displaced steel posts anchored to the slab.
- Parkade entry and exit overhead doors — rolling steel or sectional doors that are the primary vehicle access point. Impact damage bends the curtain or slats, breaks the bottom bar, or knocks the door off its guides.
- Structural opening framing or concrete lintel — the framing above the parkade door that must be sound before any door reinstall.
What We Coordinate
- Bollard removal and replacement — surface-mounted and embedded steel bollards
- Temporary protective barriers while permanent bollards are on order
- Structural concrete assessment referral and coordination with licensed structural contractors
- Overhead door assessment, emergency securing, and complete replacement
- Single written estimate for ICBC or strata insurance covering all components
ICBC Claims in a Parkade
Parkade impacts follow the same ICBC rules as any other property damage in BC. If an identified BC motorist caused the damage, the property owner or strata corporation files an ICBC third-party property damage claim. The settlement is at actual cash value with depreciation. A bollard installed four years ago is not settled at today’s replacement cost. A comprehensive, itemized estimate covering bollards, structural work, and door repair together gives the adjuster the full picture and reduces the risk of a partial settlement.
For hit-and-run impacts or where the at-fault vehicle is unregistered, the claim defaults to the strata’s or owner’s property insurance policy and the applicable deductible applies.
Why Property Managers Choose One Coordinator
A parkade impact that damages a bollard, a column, and the entry door normally requires three separate trades. Three quotes, three invoices, and three schedules — none of which align into a single ICBC or insurance estimate. We coordinate all components, prepare a consolidated estimate, and manage the sequence so structural work is complete before any door is reinstalled.
