Our Client Testimonials
We remodeled the kitchen and two bathrooms as part of a larger first-floor refresh. The kitchen now works for a family and the bathrooms feel like they belong in a nicer house. Attention to trim, grout, and hardware stood out. They stayed on schedule and the final walkthrough was thorough. Extremely pleased with the results.
Our master bathroom and kitchen were last remodeled in the 90s, so we finally hired LeCut. The walk-in shower, dual vanity, and new kitchen layout completely changed how we use the house. Our project manager was on site almost every day and handled the permits without us lifting a finger. Workmanship is excellent and they finished a week early. Couldn’t be happier with LeCut!!!
We couldn't be happier with our experience working with LeCut Construction. Yari, Luis and the whole team were great to work with throughout the process. They responded quickly to every question, concern or comment we had every step of the way. They completely remodeled both our bathrooms and we love how they both turned out.
Lecut Construction completed a full remodel of our kitchen and master bathroom plus beautification of our garage. Yari Bardugo presided over the operation with skill, attentiveness, and good humor. All structural work was totally robust – we could see the quality being built in. Work on the finish elements was where Yari really shined. He checked for our desired positioning of lights and switches and the height of grab bars. When we were uncertain, he offered helpful suggestions. Yari also orchestrated various resources within Lecut (electricians and tilers) and outside (asbestos removal and HVAC). If anything wasn’t perfect the first time, Yari helped us improve it. He came to visit nearly every day, and we enjoyed our conversations very much.

My Husband and i absolutely thrilled with my newly remodeled kitchen by LECUT CoNSTRCTION / Yari, I had a very specific vision for a clean, minimalist, all-white kitchen centered around a beautiful island, and they brought it to life perfectly. The team was professional, communicative, and truly respected, specially Yari and Louis, my home throughout the entire process. The quality of the finishings and the attention to detail exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a team that can execute a flawless design, I highly recommend them!"

These guys handled my bathroom in a very special way. They did an overall renovation on my bathroom and it looks great now. I would highly recommend them again and again.
The best ability is availability. I originally chose LeCut after interviewing with a few local Referred construction people. My decision was based on, simply looking at the yelp and Google reviews first. Then, Yari, who became our consultant, showed up and spent some time discussing the project with me. We set realistic goals for a timeline. He shared some ideas that the other construction team members did not share. I didn't feel like I was surprised during any point in the process. One of the things that Yari did really well is maintain communication and pretty much a daily basis. There was times when he was proactive, but there was times when he was responsive to my calls. Doing a big construction project has a lot of small intricacies. I felt like the communication was pretty fluid throughout. This was even when Yari was on a family vacation up in Yellowstone. He was proactively communicating with me. Edgar was our foreman and he did an excellent job of showing up every day and working on rhythm. I don't think he took a day off. Overall, I would say very professional between my two point people. The owner of the company, Michael showed up and did a friendly check in when Yari was on vacation. Overall, we are happy with our new kitchen and living room floors. Thank you guys! Keep up the great work...

The housing communities in Cupertino are varied with some of the older residential neighborhoods near the Stevens Creek Boulevard and Cupertino Village to the more serene streets near the Rancho San Antonio and the foothill boundaries, with the iconic Apple Park campus influencing the area’s character. Numerous properties have a moderate size of lots, landscaped long ago, and houses constructed decades ago, so the detached ADUs should be placed and accessed differently. It has hot summers, heat waves every now and then, and cold nights in winter, which means that detached ADUs in Cupertino should be designed to regulate sun exposure, ventilation and temperature stability in all seasons.
Detached constructions in Cupertino have varying environmental pressures as compared with attached additions. Excess heat may occur with direct sunlight, lack of shade in the back yards and being exposed on more than one side provided there is inadequate use of the place and layout. Mentoring the area surrounding orientation, ventilation routes, and internal structure assists detached ADUs to keep cozy and productive and fit in the existing residential structure in Cupertino.
Residential ADU Development
The development of ADU residential buildings must be organized in such a way that it considers the constraints of the site, climatic conditions, and their long-term utilization. The detached ADUs should be designed as a full living environment and not an auxiliary area.
Site Analysis and Location
The process of development starts with an appreciation of the ADU in the property. Placement is affected by lot depth, access routes and surrounding buildings. The location is managed to control the amount of heat and privacy. Such a foundation helps in a later smooth development.
Climate Conscious Development Planning
The warm climate in Cupertino means that it is necessary to pay attention to the sun angles and airflow. Development plans take into consideration the movement of heat throughout the site on a daily basis. The living quarters are arranged to minimize lengthy stay. These choices have a direct influence on interior comfort.
Long-Term Residential Use
Dislodged ADUs have a tendency to be used over a long period of time. The planning of development takes into account durability, accessibility of maintenance and flexibility. Utility location and circulation are meant to be long term reliable. This is to make the unit functional in the long run.

Creating an independent organization is not merely a matter of physical distance. It is the organization inside, the location of services, and the efficiency of the environment which is the key towards everyday use and utmost comfort.
- Layouts that are fully independent living.
- Interior design that facilitates heating and cooling.
- Strategies of placing which reduce the amount of heat contact.
- Areas of storage and service arranged to be used effectively.
- Defined division of living, sleeping and utility areas.
The independent living buildings have to work without depending on the main house and, at the same time, be effective and comfortable. Cupertino detached ADUs need planning, which will help maintain autonomy, privacy, and control over the climate since the very beginning.
Total ADU Architectural and Construction
An all-inclusive design-and-build strategy assists in ensuring consistency in the planning up to the construction. Layout, structure, and systems are coordinated, not as discrete entities, and this is an advantage of detached ADUs. Fragmented planning may lead to inefficient layout and thermal problems in Cupertino.
The design and build choices are in line with comfort and performance. Architectural systems, building wraps and interior designs are to be planned collectively. This coordination makes it possible to have detached ADUs which will work reliably in hot summers and cold winters without additional complexity.
We Accept the Accountability of All Construction Processes
Designing ADU in detached fashion requires responsibility at each stage. Early planning- until the very end of execution, there must be clarity of responsibility needed to minimize mistakes, delays, and performance problems. Precision is highly valued in the established neighborhoods in Cupertino.
Practical decision-making and detail are used in every stage of construction. Instead of pushing the responsibility across the phases, the process will be unified throughout. This method will lead to detached ADUs that will blend effectively with the property and will work effectively with time.
Be Directed What to Plan Your Detached ADU
Going ahead with a detached ADU will not work with just a rough idea, but with certainty at the very beginning. Clear planning strategy is a way of preventing delays, design discrepancies, and performance problems in future.
• Know the influences of lot size, setbacks and exposure on feasibility.
• Determine layout practices, which enhance comfort and efficiency.
• Create an effective project chain of planning to construction.
Make the next step with an indifferent ADU strategy aimed at operating in the residential setting and long-term living requirements of Cupertino.

Building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) involves several pitfalls that can derail your project. The most common mistakes include underestimating the total cost, ignoring local setback requirements, and failing to secure proper permits before construction begins. Many homeowners also overlook the need for separate utility connections or adequate parking, which can lead to costly redesigns. To avoid these issues, it is crucial to review local zoning laws thoroughly. For a detailed breakdown of frequent errors specific to our area, please refer to our internal article titled The Most Common Code Violations In DIY San Jose Remodels. This resource provides essential guidance to ensure your ADU project stays on track and compliant with all regulations.
The new laws for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in California for 2026 focus on streamlining approvals and increasing housing options. Key changes include the elimination of owner-occupancy requirements for ADUs, allowing property owners to rent out both the primary residence and the ADU without living on-site. Additionally, local jurisdictions can no longer impose minimum lot sizes for ADU construction, and setback requirements are reduced to four feet from side and rear property lines. Fire sprinklers are not required for ADUs if they are not mandated for the primary dwelling. These updates aim to simplify permitting and expand ADU development across the state. For professional guidance on navigating these regulations in San Jose, Lecut Construction can provide expert advice tailored to your property.
