WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"Stated simply—the service, quality and results that OnPoint delivered on my extensive remodel exceeded my expectations. The staff is highly professional and competent, they did things on time, always kept me informed regarding what would be happening next, stuck to my budget, were neat and really importantly, were a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them without hesitation. I was highly impressed with how they do business and how they delivered. It is a superb organization."
Joanne G.Remodel
"They did a great job on my pergola in the back yard. 500 square feet of pergola and 200 more of patio. There was excellent supervision by the staff of On Point. They were also able to adapt very well to changes that came up during the construction."
Warren S.Remodel
"I was extremely impressed with On Point throughout the entire process. Throughout much of the construction process, I was working and living in London – thousands of miles away from the Construction Site In Houston. On Point took an innovative approach to ensure that I remained engaged through the construction project – this greatly improved my confidence in your company….I feel that OnPoint demonstrated a genuine commitment to me and my project."
Ben C.New Home Construction
"John worked with me to make this [home building] dream a reality. We were able to customize the house to meet my every need, while holding up to a workable budget. John guided me through decisions I had to make with subcontractors and helped me make selections for everything from energy efficient appliances, to finishes, to the latest in security systems and audio/video. They have honored every commitment and exceeded my every expectation. I have built and remodeled homes over the years, but this by far was the most positive experience."
Lynda T.New Home Construction
"The house itself is absolutely gorgeous and unique. No other home had such unique touches. It is so much more than four walls. Although it is a large home (5000+ sq.ft.) it is designed in such a way that it still feels cozy. This home is truly a work of art, everyone who comes to visit says they have never seen a home quite like it. The architect and designers took their time with this home and really spent time thinking about making it comfortable and easy for whoever will live in it. That is something that most of the homebuilders in the area are just not doing to this degree. I would without any hesitation recommend this builder not only for the artfulness and thoughtfulness of their designs but equally for their outstanding, yes outstanding customer focus. OnPoint knows its business and deserves all the success for caring and catering to its customers and adding some art and imagination to Houston’s landscape. Thank you for making our dreams a reality!!"

Earl Correll

President & CEO

Growing up with On Point’s founder John Leggett, Earl became interested in being a builder while spending summers working with his uncle who ran a construction business, and while watching his own family build their home.

While pursuing a general contractors license in North Carolina Earl accepted the opportunity to move out to Houston and join the On Point team in 2006. Since his arrival in Houston, he has received his Graduate Master Builder and Certified Green Professional designations from the National Association of Home Builders.

As President for On Point Custom Homes, Earl manages all field construction operations of the company, including overseeing all company new construction, remodeling, planning and managing full-time employees. Having superb knowledge of building codes and requirements, he is able to ensure all homes are compliant with plans and specifications. With the experience gained by working for On Point, Earl eases the homebuilding process to make it a pleasant experience and uses his product expertise to guide clients through the custom building process from selections to scheduled walkthroughs to closing.

Earl loves spending time with his wife, three daughters and dog. He tries not to miss an opportunity to enjoy his hobby – duck hunting with his dog Lilly.

John Leggett

Founder

Growing up in North Carolina, John’s introduction to the residential construction industry began as a young boy when his father, an airline pilot, decided to pursue a personal interest and start a construction company. John would often tag along with his father visiting job sites, and quickly became a regular fixture where he started learning the ins and outs of residential construction.

John attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he received his Masters in Accounting and BS in Business Administration from the Kenan-Flagler Business School.

Swearing not to go into construction, John sought to climb the corporate ladder by moving to Houston and entering the investment banking industry. He spent five years covering majors, independents, and oil service companies, but his father’s lessons remained in the background. His appreciation for the real estate business led him to purchase several rental properties around the Houston area, and his foray into property management quickly inspired an itch to do more. With a re-ignited enthusiasm for construction, John acquired property behind the River Oaks Shopping Center, said goodbye to the investment banking industry, and design-built his first home.

John founded On Point Custom Homes in 2004 at the young age of 26 and has since established his company as one of the leading custom homebuilding firms in Houston. John believes in staying ahead of the curve and has taken his love of architecture and lessons from the corporate world to apply a different mentality to construction. John and his team make it a point to introduce the latest and greatest building techniques and technologies, as well as design software when building, designing or remodeling homes for clients. Using innovative practices culminating from his broad experience in the construction and business world, John has been able to set On Point apart from his competitors since day one. Although many were skeptical of his modern home designs and ideas, he knew there was a niche demand that needed to be filled in Houston and has been instrumental in growing this design style over the past 10 years.

John earned his Certified Graduate Builder (CGB) certification from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) as well as his Graduate Master Builder (GMB) certification. He is a licensed real estate broker and member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the Texas Association of Realtors (TAR), the Houston Association of Realtors (HAR), the Greater Houston Builders Association and Remodelers Council (GHBA), the Texas Association of Builders (TAB) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). John is extremely active in the building community locally, regionally and nationally. He currently serves as the Chairman for the Master Builders Group, a national council comprised of various builders from across the nation, and is also an active member on the Texas Association of Builders Young Professional Council.

Most recently, On Point took home the Texas Custom Builder of the Year award and the Houston Custom Builder Grand Award by the Texas Association of Builders and Greater Houston Builders Association respectively. John was also awarded the Texas Builder Association’s Excellence Under 45 award as well as named a Houston Business Journal 40 Under 40 winner in 2017. Additionally, On Point Custom Homes was named a 2016 and 2015 Inc. Magazine FAST 5000 Award winner and recognized as one of Houston’s Fast 100, the 100 fastest growing companies in Houston, from the Houston Business Journal. John has led his team to receive a multitude of other awards during the past 14 years, including several TAB Star Awards and GHBA PRISM Awards for design and marketing year after year as well as the 2009 National Pacesetter Award by Custom Home Magazine and the 2009 Houston’s Best Custom Home Elevation by the GHBA. Recent design awards include Best Custom Home Design, Best Architectural Design, Best Outdoor Living Space, Best Patio Home and Best kitchen and bath.

John firmly believes the On Point team is his most valuable asset. He invests in his employees by spending a considerable amount of time with each person every day to hone their skills and build their confidence to succeed in their positions and grow in their careers. Through his leadership, John has been able to develop a strong culture and family-like environment at On Point, leading to very low employee turnover and unparalleled customer service.

In his free time, John enjoys spending time at home and traveling with his wife and daughter. It is also common to see him hitting the tennis courts at the Houston Racquet Club, where he serves as a member of the fitness and construction committees where he oversaw its $10 million dollar renovation efforts.

…and rest assured that if the UNC Tar Heels are playing, you can bet he’s watching!

Robert Appelgate

VP of Construction

Robert was born and raised just North of Houston making him a true born and raised Texan. Some of his earliest childhood memories include tagging along to work with his father, who worked in the home remodeling business. As he grew older, these experiences lead him to pursue a career in the construction industry with his first role being in the design and wiring of home theatre systems. During the ten years he spent in the industry managing various levels of residential projects, technology was evolving giving Robert a creative edge and insight into the smart home revolution. Robert was then given an opportunity to work with a leading electrical company where Robert became the key liaison with custom builders working in Houston’s most elite neighborhoods and homes. Working hand in hand with these custom home builders, Robert was introduced to all phases of the building process and with 20 years of experience joined On Point Custom Homes in early 2013 as a Senior Project Manager.

Robert’s passion for the building industry and customer service has made him a favorite among On Point clients and staff. He oversees and manages new construction operations in the field from start to finish making the building process as seamless as possible for homeowners. His drive and dedication are a rare find but very true to his character.

While not working, Robert enjoys spending time with his wife and four sons. You can also find Robert enjoying his days off relaxing on some much needed “lake time” aboard his boat at Lake Houston.

Ashley Tucker

VP of Operations

An overly-organized project management specialist, Ashley has a passion for all things operations related. You won’t find her without her to-do list and colored-coded pens in hand. Ashley’s eagerness and enthusiasm makes it easy for her to take on challenges, find solutions and get the job done no matter what the circumstance.

Ashley brings a variety of strategic project management and communications experience to On Point Custom Homes. From non-profit experience to agency life, Ashley has worked with a multitude of local and national businesses helping them reach their business goals through strategic and integrated operational efforts. Never satisfied with the status-quo, Ashley isn’t afraid of pushing boundaries, trying new creative techniques or mixing methods to accomplish amazing results. Ashley spearheaded several award-winning media, community and social media campaigns and was the digital advertising lead at her previous agency.

Ashley joined On Point’s in-house team as our Marketing Director in 2017 after working with John and Earl for several years managing On Point’s communications efforts at her previous agency. Her passion for creating a quality experience coupled with her willingness to push the envelope matches perfectly with On Point’s mission. As our VP of Operations, Ashley wears a multitude of hats while managing all of our internal operations, coordinating our real estate transactions and overseeing all internal and external communications.

A born-and-raised Houstonian, Ashley is no stranger to the Houston real estate industry. Her mother worked as a mortgage lender as well as in a title office, so lessons on home loans, closings and real estate investments were regular dinner-time conversation. Ashley attended HSPVA and then headed down south to attend the University of South Carolina (the real Carolina, despite what John says!) where she received a Bachelor’s degree in public relations and business.

Always looking for something to keep her busy, you can usually find this Houston native out and about exploring the city. An arts enthusiast, dessert connoisseur and party planner extraordinaire, Ashley loves finding new happy hour spots, traveling and all things Texas (especially Blue Bell Ice Cream!).

Tiffany Forristal

Architectural Designer

Tiffany is a very passionate person whose first love is architecture, and she knew by the age of twelve that her career would be focused on it. She inherited the gift from her mother, and grandfather who worked in architecture and engineering, respectively.

Inspired by the arts and crafts movement where materials and connections are executed impeccably, her process is very focused and driven to achieve excellence in all the details that really make a space flow while optimizing the function and design seamlessly. Deriving those principles from renowned Architects Sullivan and Wright, Tiffany specializes in combining the artistic and logical to find that perfect balance for her clients. There is nothing quite like the joy on a client’s face when they get to see their vision come to life and enjoy their new home!

Not satisfied with the typical or expected, she applied this same vision and experience when building her own house. Still constrained by budgets, she took known forms and materials then molded them to suit the specific needs of her family.

When she isn’t focused on something architectural she can be found in a myriad of places. It may be on a bicycle around town, behind a camera, in the garden, in the kitchen cooking and baking, or in her hobby room working on arts, crafts, and sewing projects.

Being born in a time of exponential technological advancements, she is intrigued by new ideas and what the future holds.

Hunter Smith

Internal Project Coordinator

Hunter Smith holds a Bachelors in Business Administration from Houston Baptist University. She is an experienced business owner with a skilled background in program and project management. Hunter honed her skills for logistics coordination while working as an Event and Wedding professional over the past decade and now uses those same skills to bring our client’s dream homes alive. Managing budgets, vision boards, and project schedules comes naturally to her as she is a self-starter with a knack for organizing information. Hunter acts as our traffic controller making sure homeowners, vendors, and the whole On Point team have everything they need to keep our homes on track and on budget for a successful build.

Hunter loves working with clients to make their vision a reality while making the selections and home building process smooth and stress-free.

During her time off, she enjoys exploring new Houston sites, taking her two huskies to the park, and camping throughout Texas. She is slowly making her way through all of Texas’ State Parks one trail and campsite at a time.

Forbes Jones

Project Manager

As a native Houstonian, Forbes is the first in his family to pursue a career in residential construction. By the time he was 18, his parents had remodeled numerous homes in which he and his father were heavily involved and ultimately led to his interest in the construction industry.

After graduating from Texas Tech, Forbes started his own business providing residential remodeling services including building custom fencing and major landscaping projects throughout the Houston metro area. This new endeavor helped further develop his passion and experience with project management skills and the delivery of high-quality products with strong customer satisfaction. Joining On Point, Forbes continues to build upon his past experience and significantly expand his skill set in residential construction.

While away from work, Forbes enjoys all types of hunting and spending time with his family and friends at his Aunt and Uncle’s Ranch.

Le Tran

Accounting Manager

After finishing high school in Vietnam, Le and her family migrated to the US in 2006. Having to start over and re-learn everything from language to culture and lifestyle, she learned that perseverance and hard work is nothing to be afraid of. Le studied at the University of Houston while working full-time to fund her education. Shortly after graduating from college, she started her career in the Oil & Gas industry and slowly work her way up the corporate ladder. With a knack for numbers and love of problem-solving, she was well served in the world of accounting.

Le joined the On Point family in 2019 and is no stranger to the world of home building remodeling industry as her husband is a real estate agent in the industry. Le believes nothing is more important than living in a house that you love coming home to!

When she’s not crunching numbers at the office, you can find her in the kitchen cooking! Despite managing a busy schedule, Le always gathers the family to enjoy dinner together.

Rosie Romero

Architectural Designer

While Rosie officially joined the On Point family in 2019, she has been a part of the team for many years. Working as a Real Estate Assistant alongside Leah Leggett, Rosie assisted on hundreds of our transactions over the years learning the ins and outs of the business. From leasing to staging and beyond, she has been a part of all phases of the real estate transaction. You’ll still find her today visiting job sites and staging our homes. With a knack for numbers and exceptional organization skills, Rosie found herself gravitating to the financial side of the business and began assisting On Point part-time with daily accounting tasks.

Rosie took a leap of faith to hang up her real estate hat and expand her accounting skills when she joined On Point full time in 2019. Since joining our accounting team, Rosie has enjoyed putting her keen attention to detail to work in the office.

Born in Houston, Rosie was raised with Salvadorian customs and traditions and is fluent in Spanish. When she’s not at work, she loves spending her time with her family and husband. In their free time, you can find them out on a dance floor or on a campsite. Fun fact, Rosie met John and Earl on a jobsite years ago as a teenager! Construction runs in the family – her dad and brother own a painting company, which is how she first met On Point many years ago!
