Jeff Houghton, Owner

Born and raised in West Kelowna, Jeff is the co-founder of H&H Custom Homes. After earning his Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) and his Real Estate Trading Services License, Jeff combined his passion for business, real estate, and construction to launch H&H alongside his best friend Clark Hamagami in 2008.

While attending university, Jeff developed a strong interest in both accounting and real estate and nearly followed in his father’s footsteps by taking over the family accounting practice. Instead, he decided to take a chance and pursue something new; building and developing homes in the Okanagan. His background in business and finance continues to play a big role in the company today, and Jeff still handles much of the accounting and financial oversight for H&H.

Since then, the company has grown into an award-winning builder known for creating thoughtfully designed homes throughout the Okanagan. Jeff takes pride in assembling a great team of trades and building homes that clients are genuinely excited to live in.

Outside the office and off the job site, Jeff enjoys reading, golfing, and spending time with his wife Jessica and their two daughters, Quinn and Blake. He is a member at Harvest Golf Club and spends as much time there as possible during the warmer months. In the winter, the family can often be found at their place at Big White skiing and snowboarding, or escaping the cold and travelling together whenever they get the chance.

Quinn & Blake

Quinn and Blake Houghton are the energetic and adventurous daughters of Jeff and Jessica. Growing up in the Okanagan, they spend most of their time outdoors, staying active, and trying new things.

Quinn, nearly six years old, has already developed a love for athletics and adventure. She enjoys jiu-jitsu, competitive swimming, ballet and hip-hop dance, and is an excellent young skier; she's most often found confidently weaving through the trees. Quinn loves kindergarten, meeting new friends, and exploring new activities. Like her mom, she has a natural inclination toward sports (she even started walking at just eight months old). Quinn also has a kind heart, always wants to do her best, and currently has a very cute fondness for animal-print outfits.

Blake, nearly four, brings plenty of personality and enthusiasm of her own. She loves participating in all-sport programs, learned to swim independently at just two years old, and enjoys skiing alongside her sister and playing outside whenever she can. Blake is a little more outspoken and independent than Quinn, happily forging her own path and keeping everyone on their toes. She loves daycare, spending time with friends, and, like many kids her age, has a definite soft spot for anything chocolate.

Together, Quinn and Blake bring endless energy, laughter, and adventure to the Houghton family.

Justice Marks

Justice Marks brings a rare combination of high-level construction experience, business knowledge, and relentless energy to the team. After graduating from the University of Alberta with a Commerce degree in 2007, Justice moved into residential construction with Falcon Homes, where he eventually managed the construction of nearly 50 homes per year; an impressive workload that demanded strong organization, communication, and leadership skills.

During that time, Justice also completed the extensive coursework required to become a Certified Master Builder, a designation that reflects advanced industry knowledge, professionalism, and a deep understanding of residential construction practices and standards.

In 2017, Justice relocated to the Okanagan with his wife Victoria and their dog Marko. Fun fact: Justice first met Jeff through Victoria, who worked with Jeff’s dad at his accounting firm. Small world.

Outside of work, Justice is usually doing something that sounds unnecessarily difficult for the average person, like running ultramarathons, gravel biking through the mountains, or trail running before most people have had coffee. He’s almost always the first one at the office and rarely arrives by vehicle. Around the team, Justice is also known as an elite-level gift giver; thoughtful, intentional, and somehow always impossible to top the following year.

Jessica Houghton

Jessica Houghton is a dedicated educator, former high-level athlete, and proud mom of two. She works part time at Mount Boucherie Secondary School, where she helps run the school’s soccer academy and supports student leadership programs. She also works with Okanagan Infill, assisting with administrative operations, social media, interior design, and helping clients navigate design selections and finish decisions throughout the building process.

Before becoming an educator, Jessica played five seasons with the UBC Thunderbirds Women's Soccer and still holds the program’s all-time records for most games and minutes played. In 2011, she represented Canada at the Summer World University Games in Shenzhen, China. Most recently, she completed a local triathlon, continuing her passion for fitness and personal challenge.

Outside of work, Jessica enjoys staying active through running, OrangeTheory, golf, and snowboarding at Big White Ski Resort. She also loves travel, wine, and spending time with her daughters, Quinn and Blake.
