Our Client Testimonials
We needed a ground-floor room addition in Almaden Valley for my aging mother. Lecut gave us a clear, itemized quote upfront with no surprise fees. The project manager kept us informed every morning, and the new space passed city inspection on the very first try.
With kids growing up, we desperately needed a playroom, so we booked Lecut for a garage conversion in Willow Glen. They started three days after our initial call, kept to the exact quote without hidden costs, and wrapped up early.
Lecut replaced our worn hardwoods in Los Gatos in two days for the exact upfront price quoted.
Building a detached ADU in Cupertino was seamless with Lecut handling all permits and construction. Their strict schedule meant I had a tenant paying rent two weeks earlier than projected.
Booking our kitchen remodeling consultation online took under two minutes. The crew showed up at 8 AM sharp in Sunnyvale, stuck to the itemized estimate down to the penny, and finished the installation ahead of deadline.
Adding a second story addition to our Santa Clara home felt risky until we signed with Lecut. They locked in our contract price before breaking ground, eliminating cost overruns. Their crew worked efficiently, completing structural framing ahead of schedule while keeping the job site spotless.
Our rotting porch in Palo Alto was unsafe, but Lecut completed a new composite deck building job in four days flat.
We had a great experience working with Lecut and Yari on our bathroom remodel. Yari was very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project, and Lecut did a great job with the installation and finishing work.
They were professional, reliable, and always willing to come back and take care of small details when needed. We're very happy with how everything turned out and really appreciate their hard work and attention to detail.
Accessory Dwelling Units That Maximize Comfort and Space
ADUs provide an intelligent means of adding value to the life of your property and the demands of life in San Jose, CA, whether you’re near San Jose City Hall or the SAP Center. In our ADUs, we use efficiency to the fullest so that no square meter is wasted and every attribute leads to a comfortable everyday experience. We do away with wasted space through smart planning and well thought out layouts, and provide an environment that is easy to inhabit, structured and balanced.
The designs are determined by the conditions of the real world including site limitations, zoning, access, and privacy aspects. We do not think of these as restrictions, but rather employ them in smarter design choices such as maximizing natural light and ventilation, and circulation. The outcome is an ADU that is open and connected well with its environment but still has a distinct feeling of independence from the main residence.
Since the beginning of the concept to the ultimate construction, we concentrate on quality, compliance and performance in the long term. Building systems, materials, and finishes are also chosen with regards to durability and efficiency and the space is comfortable and low-maintenance in the long run. The completed ADU is provided in line with the prevailing property, it meets the changing lifestyle requirements, and introduces an enduring value functionally and financially.
Our Team Creates ADUs That Maximize Comfort and Space
Designing an effective ADU will take more than the ability to cram rooms in a small space, it will require thoughtfulness, planning and experience. It works with our team to consider the lifestyle requirements, the site limitations, and the use that will be made of the space after which we design the space using the available space to create an impression of efficiency without the space being a constraint. The aim is to have a home that facilitates comfort, privacy and practicality in everyday life.
Having design and construction working hand in hand, we have control over quality and implementation at all levels with us. Buildability, durability and long-term performance are taken into consideration during making decisions and hence, ADUs are designed to operate efficiently, age gracefully, and provide actual, useful space instead of compromises.

People Also Ask
The cheapest option for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is typically a prefabricated or "prefab" unit, often referred to as a modular or panelized system. These are built off-site in a factory, which reduces labor costs and construction time compared to a fully custom, stick-built ADU. A studio or one-bedroom layout with a simple, open floor plan will also keep costs down. For homeowners in San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale, it is essential to factor in local permit fees and site preparation. At Lecut Construction, we recommend comparing prefab kits with a small, detached garage conversion, as this can sometimes be the most budget-friendly path for your property.
For homeowners in San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale, developing Accessory Dwelling Unit plans requires careful consideration of local zoning laws and building codes. A well-designed ADU plan should prioritize efficient use of space, natural light, and privacy for both the main house and the new unit. It is essential to work with an architect or designer familiar with California's specific ADU regulations, including setback requirements and parking exemptions. Lecut Construction recommends starting with a site analysis to determine the best location for your unit, whether attached, detached, or a garage conversion.
