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.

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.
