Ewan was born in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and lived on a 7th generation family farm until 1978 when his family relocated to Canada where they continued to farm livestock. Throughout his childhood and University he excelled in sciences, math & business. From a young age Ewan was mechanically inclined and had a passion for motorcycles, woodworking, construction and anything that involved fixing, repairing and organizing things. He had two successful businesses in the custom motorcycle industry before moving on to the commercial and residential flooring industry. He opened his own business under the name Stone Valley Tiling and within a short period he gained a reputation for great attention to detail, solid work ethics and dedication to excellence in customer service. Again, he excelled on the tools of the trade and had the business acumen and desire to expand his career into flooring sales in 2013 where he has built an unyielding client portfolio in the commercial and residential construction communities. With this experience, he found great satisfaction working on larger scale construction projects where he could express his natural ability to project manage and ensure client satisfaction. He is the proud recipient of numerous CHBA Silver and Gold Tommie Awards.
Mike Boyle
Estimating/Project Management
Mike Boyle moved to Kelowna in 2000. He finished his high school diploma at Okanagan Mission High school. After various small jobs during high school he decided to pursue a career in carpentry upon graduation. He attended Okanagan Collage where he obtained his Red Seal Certificate in carpentry. After working for various large builders throughout Kelowna he decided to expand the relationships he had gained and started his own residential building company. This avenue was rewarding for three years when he was approached by a builder to become a site Superintendent with their company. Mike carried on his construction career for the next 10 years working for various builders eventually becoming project manager for Bachelder Construction. After much deliberation, he decided to change paths and began looking for other avenues to develop his career, this is when he met Ewan Lilford. Mikes favourite part of his construction career was the personal relationships he developed throughout the builds, so sales and project management together with the Kelowna House of Floors team was a perfect fit.
Price Kenney
Project Coordinator
Price Kenney was born and raised in Kelowna. In 2006, he spent a year in California where he met a beautiful girl from Missouri who he ended up marrying in the winter of 2006 and brought her back to Canada.
Price started in the flooring business a few years after returning to Kelowna from California when a friend of his asked him to "give him a hand" with some tile work as he had cut off half his finger with a jamb saw, so he literally needed a hand. Price agreed and found out he had a knack for tile installation and fell in love with the trade and spent the better part of the next seven years installing tile full-time. Price and Ewan Lilford met on site as installers and ended up working side by side on several projects. When Ewan made the transition to sales a few years later Price almost exclusively installed on Ewan’s projects. In addition to giving Price steady work, Ewan also gave him the opportunity to spearhead some large installation projects, and as a result of this and Price’s attention to detail, Ewan encouraged Price to retire the tools and join him in the office. In January of 2017 Price made the move and joined Ewan as a Project Coordinator and has excelled at the position ever since. Outside of work, Price and his wife enjoy books over screens and adventures over routines, and they have three young children that keep them busy and active in the community. Their older two children go to Studio 9 Independent School of the Arts, and their youngest will soon join them.

There he spent his last years developing and creating a successful and innovative ESL learning program for a wide range of students and professional environments. Upon moving back to Canada, he embarked on a career in psychiatrics where he further used his personable talents to engage and encourage his clients in recovery from very serious brain injuries. He profusely enjoyed helping people from all different backgrounds and abilities learn to reclaim their independence, and he took immense satisfaction in watching them return home to their lives. Deciding to change careers, Daniel started working in sales and soon found his niche in the flooring industry. Actively spending his free time researching and improving his knowledge in product and systems he was awarded a top ten sales associate in his company from the west coast to Ontario. He found his success through hard work, a sterling reputation and an unparalleled approach to customer service. Kelowna House of Floors approached him and offered him an opportunity to join their very successful team which he excitedly jumped at! Daniel’s upbringing comes from a family of home builders. He stopped counting at 34 moves by the time he was 18 and has been involved in countless builds around Kelowna and the valley. He grew up as a child swinging hammers, cutting wood and he loves getting his hands dirty.
