Brian Kittle Joins Ally Building Solutions as CEO Amid Growth Plans

Brian Kittle Takes the Reins at Ally Building Solutions

In a strategic move aimed at fortifying its market position, Ally Building Solutions has announced the appointment of Brian Kittle as its new Chief Executive Officer. Allies Building Solutions has established itself as a key player in providing interior finishes to homebuilders across Florida, and the addition of Kittle is seen as a pivotal step in driving the company's ambition for expansion and excellence in the industry.

Brian Kittle, a seasoned professional with extensive experience in the homebuilding sector, joins Ally after an impressive tenure as Division President of Meritage Homes in Florida. During his time there, Kittle demonstrated leadership by successfully overseeing operations in the Central Florida market and initiating the launch of Meritage's other divisions in the state. This role underlined his deep understanding of the Florida housing market and the intricate demand dynamics within it.

Before his stint at Meritage Homes, Kittle's career spanned several prominent homebuilding firms, including roles at Ryan Homes, Centex, and Ryland Homes where he gained valuable insights into sales and marketing in the residential construction arena. His wealth of experience positions him as a forward-thinking executive capable of steering Ally towards achieving its next chapter of growth.

Chad Barton, a member of Ally's Board of Directors, remarked on Kittle's extensive reputation, saying, "Brian has been a recognized leader in the Florida homebuilding community for decades. His dedication to leading Ally through this transformative phase showcases both Ally's strength and its prominent industry standing."

In a statement reflecting his excitement about joining the team, Kittle noted, "I have admired Ally for years and am thrilled to be part of a team that excels in delivering a wide array of products seamlessly. The capability to meet the demands of homebuilders by improving cycle times and reducing costs while minimizing warranty claims is unique in this market, ultimately enhancing the homeowner's experience."

Additionally, Ally Building Solutions confirmed the promotion of Todd Skinner to President and Chief Operating Officer. Skinner previously served as Chief Operating Officer at Ally after a successful run as Vice President of Sales and Operations at Builders FirstSource. With over three decades of experience within the building products sector, Skinner is well-poised to aid Kittle as they navigate the firm's expansion strategy together.

Reflecting on the achievements made over the past couple of years, Skinner stated, "We have accomplished a great deal and I am eager to collaborate with Brian on our next steps. I am deeply appreciative of our customers for allowing us to serve them, and our current growth is a direct result of our ability to consistently deliver a comprehensive suite of products across all of our metropolitan service areas."

Since securing investment from Astara Capital Partners in early 2024, Ally Building Solutions has solidified its position as the leading supplier of high-quality flooring, cabinetry, countertops, appliances, millwork, and various other finishes crucial for new home construction, custom builds, and multi-family projects throughout Florida. The company's founders, Steve and Phil Spade, designed Ally with an integrated approach to product delivery and installation, resulting in superior outcomes that cater to both builders and buyers. This unique system is what underpins Ally’s growth and has established it as a preferred partner for Florida's top homebuilders.

Ally Building Solutions prides itself on being Florida's foremost supplier of interior finishes for residential construction, working closely with single-family and multifamily homebuilders to offer high-quality solutions, reliable execution, and swift service across diverse markets. With Kittle at the helm, the company is expected to enhance its services further, meet client needs more effectively, and continue being a leader in the industry for years to come.
