Brenton Morgan is a Jamaican import to Kelowna. He and his family hail from hotter climates and have settled in Kelowna to make it their home. Brenton started One Love Home Services, a one stop shop for all of your home or office repair needs. They offer general Handyman services specializing in carpentry, masonry and landscaping. Other services include; moving, dump runs, painting, general labour, furniture assembly and more. They are relatively new in the Okanagan but have been in the industry for over 15 years. Brenton values honesty and a sense of humour, and seeks to live out those virtues in his own life. He says that his children are his reason to succeed and that seeing them reach their goals for a bright future are a major motivation. Today Brenton and One Love Home Services are In Focus.
