Allicia Reynolds

General Manager

Allicia started with Apple Exteriors in July of 2021. She started her career in the construction industry in 1998 with most of her experience coming from the wholesale side of the business, supplying builders and contractors with exterior building products such as roofing, siding and windows. Allicia worked for a few different wholesale building distributors wearing many different hats over the course of her career such as inside sales, credit manager and territory manager until she decided to come to the other side and work for a contractor.

As Operations Manager, Allicia oversees the production department and assists with training and project management with the sales staff. Her main roles are ordering materials and scheduling of crews to complete our projects while maintaining efficiency and costs.

In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her three children and two grandchildren. Most summer weekends are spent at the cabin on the lake, swimming, tubing, and fishing. The fall and winter months are reserved for bonfires with friends and family, ice fishing and of course watching football, SKOL Vikings!

Kelly Le

Office Manager

My name is Kelly and while I wear many hats here at Apple Exteriors, my official job title is Office Manager. I first started here in June 2015. I received my B.S in Financial Economics in 2012 and spent the first couple years out of college working for a large financial institution.

When I joined this company initially, my goal was to assist with some of the office responsibilities that were becoming overwhelming for this growing company. Since then, my role has gradually evolved into my current role.

Analytics and numbers are something that has helped me to understand the full context of how things work and has continuously sparked my passion in helping customers understand their projects’ overall process. My passion towards understanding how things work, how others are affected, and how to create a harmonious process for everyone from our customers to the employees that work at Apple Exteriors runs deep.

While I work very hard in my role here at our family-owned business. I would not have the motivation to succeed without my two kids, Teddy and Eleanor. Being a mom and raising these two is what truly gets me out of bed in the morning and is a constant reminder to live my best life, be present in the moment, and to continue making changes to better myself, my family, and the company that gives other families like mine a safe and beautiful place to call home.
