Our Client Testimonials
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.
I had a consultation with Yari to discuss a potential home remodel. He spent a great deal of time understanding my goals, brainstorming different layout options, and explaining the pros and cons of each approach. I appreciated that he was thoughtful, patient, and transparent throughout the discussion. He followed up with a detailed summary of our meeting and a realistic preliminary estimate, which helped me make an informed decision. Although I ultimately decided not to move forward with a major remodel, I had a very positive experience working with him and would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and professional contractor.
LeCut will ensure you love your renewed home.
After beating out two other remodel bids, because of the team, vision, and value, Yari, Luis, and team transformed our outdated bathroom into a clean, usable, and comfortable space. Working with Yari was a great experience, since he personally ensured we were 100% satisfied with the results of the project. Communicating with the team was smooth and the team was clean and respectful with with the rest of our house. Prior to completing the project, Yari did a thorough inspection with us to identify issues with tile alignment and grout finish. Yari and Luis brought the team back to rework the fit and finish items quickly, leaving us completely happy with the space.
We needed a kitchen update and a complete bathroom renovation in a smaller home. They maximized the space without making it feel crowded. Cabinets, counters, and tile all look custom. Communication was clear from start to finish and there were no last-minute extras. The rooms feel new and well built.
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.
New Almaden is home to foothills, old mining era houses and curvy roads surrounding the Almaden Quicksilver County Park and the historic New Almaden district. Our team is aware that the construction of an ADU here must be done in a manner that is sensitive to the terrain and climate. The climate in New Almaden is hot with dry summers, cooler in areas under shade especially in the vicinity of the hills and the nighttime winter temperatures sometimes fall to freezing. These are the direct aspects that determine the way in which an ADU ought to be designed to ensure that it is comfortable and durable.
We construct ADUs in New Almaden, which are environmentally friendly and thermally balanced. Heat may be trapped easily in small areas and evenings when it is colder require regular insulation and air sealing. Through consideration of sun exposure, changes in elevation, and airflow, we develop ADUs, which regulate heat efficiently, moisture in colder seasons, and reliably during transition periods.
Work-from-Home Areas in ADUs
ADUs in New Almaden are becoming more frequently used as workstations since remote work is becoming more popular. Our group creates work-at-home spaces that are conducive to concentration, comfort, and productivity and address local weather situations. A properly designed workspace enhances the day to day operations without interfering with the rest of the ADU.
Natural Light No Overheating
We have windows installed so that daylight can enter the house and the heat keeps out during hot afternoons. Shading and glazing decrease glare and fluctuations in temperature. This provides a working environment that is comfortable to work long hours.
Separation Acoustic and Visual
Such separation is beneficial to work areas even in small ADUs. Layout planning and sound control are methods that we use to minimize distractions. This is particularly necessary in quiet and hilly areas where privacy holds high esteem.
Thermal and Airflow Comfort
Concentration is facilitated by constant temperatures. Airflow is designed so that it does not become stuffy without the use of mechanical cooling. Even in hotter seasons, comfort is ensured.
Considerable work-from-home layout enables ADUs to operate as effective offices. Climate sensitive planning will make sure that these areas can be used throughout the year.

ADUs Outdoor Decks and Patios
Harmonious summers and breath-taking surroundings mean that we can use our deck and patios and enjoy a lot of room and comfort. Our team will develop outdoor spaces that will integrate with the ADU and adapt to the climate.
- Outdoor Heat-Managed Surfaces: The selection of materials decreases the heat intake during summer. This makes outdoor spaces comfortable in the direct sunshine. Durability is also backed by surface options.
- Shading and Shelter: The pergolas, overhangs, or partial covers are a source of coolness. Outdoor usage can be made in the daytime using shading. Material life is also prolonged.
- Assimilation to Natural Landscape: Patios and decks are created according to the contours of the site. This will decrease the grading requirements, and save natural character. Outdoor areas do not look artificial.
- Viable, Long Life Materials: Materials resist sunshine and changes in temperature. Less maintenance facilitates the extended usability. Realistic decisions save investment.
Small Bathrooms Solutions to ADUs
Bathrooms in small ADUs will need careful designs particularly in coastal climate that is humid. Our team develops bathrooms that are usable and comfortable without wastage of space. All the components are chosen with efficiency and durability. Efficiency of layout is vital. Space-saving fixtures and intelligent designs are used to ensure the absence of clutter.
Smaller footprints need not be cramped as they are to be planned. The key aspect of performance in bathrooms in Alviso is ventilation. Humidity can be controlled with proper exhaust systems and the chances of mold are minimized. Smooth finishes are also moisture-resistant which adds further protection against the damage of surfaces in the long term.

The maximum size of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale, CA, is typically governed by local zoning codes. For a detached ADU on a single-family lot, the general limit is often 1,200 square feet, though this can vary based on lot size and setbacks. Attached ADUs may have different allowances, sometimes capped at 50% of the primary dwelling's floor area. It is crucial to check specific city regulations, as they can change. For detailed guidance on sizing and design, we recommend reviewing our internal article titled 'ADU Designing and Planning' at ADU Designing and Planning. Lecut Construction can help you navigate these requirements to ensure your project meets all local standards.

Another frequent error is choosing a design that does not comply with local zoning laws, such as height restrictions or parking requirements. To avoid these pitfalls, it is crucial to consult professionals who understand local regulations.
