Although the company was founded in 1993, its origins began two decades earlier when owners Maurice Upton and Chris Dougans first worked together as flooring installers. It was 1975 when Maurice Upton, in partnership with his cousin Bill Waffle, hired a local Langford man, Chris Dougans, to work for them as an installer.
A year earlier, Maurice moved from Alberta to Victoria when Bill advised him of the housing boom and demand for tradespeople. Since Maurice had previously worked as an installer and general tradesman it seemed like a great opportunity. He had been to Victoria on two earlier occasions; when he came out this third time, he made it his permanent home.
During this period, Maurice and Chris installed countless floors in labour intensive conditions with demanding schedules. It was primarily new construction but they also experienced their share of home renovations and insurance claims. In 1978, Chris went into business with his father to own and operate Old British Fish and Chips in Esquimalt.
