Project Story: Addressing Elevation Challenges
We recently completed an interlock project for a multi-unit house in Orleans that presented a significant design challenge. The property had a steep elevation difference between the garage and the front entrance, requiring a 13-step staircase that felt disconnected and took up valuable parking space. Our goal was to enhance both functionality and aesthetics while ensuring the best use of space.
Challenges Faced
- Awkward Approach: The existing staircase layout made the entrance feel impractical.
- Parking Limitations: The placement of the steps reduced the available parking in front of the garage.
- Disconnected Design: The straight staircase lacked flow and visual appeal.

Our TRU® Solution
After carefully assessing the site, we devised a creative approach to solve these issues:
✅ Relocating the Staircase: Instead of keeping the steps directly in front of the entrance, we moved them to the right side of the house.
✅ Maximizing Parking: This adjustment freed up two additional parking spaces, a huge benefit for this multi-unit property.
✅ Improving Accessibility: The new longer landings made the climb more comfortable and user-friendly.
✅ Enhanced Visual Appeal: We incorporated LED lighting along the stairs for both safety and aesthetics, adding a modern touch.
The result? A functional and visually appealing entrance that optimizes parking space while providing a safer, more welcoming approach to the home.
Step-by-Step Process
1. Site Assessment & Planning
Our team evaluated the elevation challenge and designed a solution to optimize the space without compromising accessibility.
2. Excavation & Base Preparation
We cleared the old staircase, prepped the new layout, and reinforced the base to ensure stability and durability.
3. Staircase & Interlock Installation
Using high-quality interlock materials, we built a functional and stylish staircase with extended landings and LED lighting.
4. Finishing Touches & Quality Check
Final adjustments were made, LED lights were installed, and we conducted a thorough quality check to ensure everything met our high standards.


Client Satisfaction & Final Results
By reconfiguring the entrance, we created a more practical and visually appealing design, while also meeting the client’s parking needs. The newly installed LED-lit staircase not only improves accessibility but also adds a modern aesthetic to the property. Another successful transformation by TRU Interlock Plus!

Michelle Smith2024-08-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After receiving several estimates, I decided to hire Tru Interlock repair because the owner, Maxime Trudel, impressed me with his professionalism and commitment to back up his work. I have no regrets whatsoever. Maxime was responsive and came personally to check in on his crew (who were all courteous and hardworking). He also came for a follow up visit to take care of a minor issue. The work was extremely well done and I would highly recommend Tru Interlock Repair. David Lacaria2022-06-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the pleasure of hiring Tru Interlock Repair to do some work on our front entrance. Max and his crew are amazing to work with. High level of respect, professionalism, and honesty. Highly recommend them for any interlock work! Mike Herzog2022-05-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simply amazing from first contact, to quote, to actioning with a high degree of quality and professionalism. We were so impressed to see a crew of ~8-9 people arrive and work long days to demo our old stairs, pick up two multi-level patios and rebuild with some nuanced requirements including an ill-positioned dryer vent right in the middle of our stairs. Creative solutions, great communication, professional and a crew that were friendly, polite and smiling (clearly well treated and respected). The days ended with a clean up and the job ended with a full cleaning of my property (our house, garage, driveway were power washed and all dust / stone etc. cleaned). I highly recommend and will use their services again in a heart beat when needed. Thanks Maxime, Sloan and to the entire crew. You earned this review and my trust.
