We completed a home addition with LeCut and the experience was smooth from start to finish. The new space blends perfectly with the original structure. The crew worked efficiently and maintained a clean site. Communication was consistent and clear throughout. The workmanship is solid and detailed. The addition looks like it was always part of the home. We are very satisfied.
They completed the project efficiently while maintaining high standards of quality and professionalism. The team paid attention to every detail and made sure we were satisfied with the results. I would definitely hire them again.
We finally brought down our master bathroom and started from scratch. The old layout had the toilet right next to the tub which was just weird. LeCut crew helped us rearrange everything so the space actually makes sense now. The shower is bigger, the vanity has actual storage, and the whole room feels like a mini spa. If I ever need some remodeling done right in San Jose, I know who to call
They handled my remodeling project with great care and kept the workspace clean every day. I appreciated their honesty, professionalism, and dedication to delivering high-quality results. I would definitely recommend them for any construction or renovation needs.
I was nervous about renovating our tiny San Jose bathroom, but LeCut delivered beyond expectations. They maximized every inch of space, added beautiful tile work, and finished a full week early. The crew was professional, cleaned up daily, and even helped us select fixtures that fit our budget.
We turned our cramped, dark basement into a bright family room and a guest bathroom. It was a big project, but the remodel contractor walked us through every decision. The space is so cozy now that we actually fight over who gets to hang out down there. It’s not just extra square footage, it’s become our favorite room in the house. Such a smart use of space.
My Mom had been wanting to remodel our kitchen for quite a while but after a bad experience with a different contractor our family was very nervous about starting the work back up. Guy with LeCut helped reassure us from the first consultation all the way through till the completion of the project. We really appreciated his transparency and clarity whenever we had questions.
Tal and Nir gave us a first class design experience, looking at Mom's inspiratons and working with us to nail down all the details like paint, materials, lighting, etc. Their full 3D renders got us really excited about the project, and being able to see exactly what the finished product would look like before construction began gave us a lot of confidence.
Sammy and the build team were fantastic. They finished everything from demo, paint, flooring, cabinets, countertops and more in just a month! They worked with Guy to flag and correct any issues quickly. From craftsmanship to making sure everything was up to building code requirements, their work speaks for itself - our family loves how gorgeous our house is now!
LeCut Construction gave us as stress free a remodel as I think you can get with stunning results. Really appreciate Guy and his whole team for their efforts, and would recommend them looking to do remodel work.

In Morgan hill, where you are wedged between the hilly vineyards along Monterey Road and the serene neighborhoods around Anderson Lake, you only have to think about adding space to your property. Our group is aware of the effect of hot summers, desiccation, and impromptu changes in temperature on disengaged ADU performance at the base to the ceiling. This area is prone to a long sun exposure and cold during winter and therefore insulation, ventilation, and choice of material become very important from the first day.
We come to Detached ADU Services in Morgan Hill with a hyper-local attitude that has been formed on the basis of hillside lots, suburban streets and a residential zoning, which has been created. We have even designed it to be heat-resistant, moisture-controlled, and open-air to keep your new unit comfortable all year round. Our preoccupation with local building conditions and climatic realities produces isolated living spaces, which are effective and are integrated naturally in the Morgan Hill neighborhoods.
New Residential Unit Development
It takes coordination, foresight and understanding of the locals into the development of a detached unit. Our team handles each step with the focus on the long-term performance, alignment with regulations and the specific solutions that can match the conditions in Morgan Hill.
Site-Responsive Planning
We consider the lot size, the direction, and the access of the new unit so that the new unit would be fitting naturally to your property. There are a number of factors that affect early decisions: heat exposure, drainage patterns, and closeness to nearby homes. Planning will help us minimize future problems because these aspects will be considered before the construction process starts.
Code-Conscious Construction
Your project proceeds as our team manages local building regulations. When we consider zoning restrictions, utility connections and setback regulations, we do so at the beginning. This will reduce delays and make the development abreast with what the city expects.

Our methods of building are appropriate to hot summer days and cooler nights in winter. Indoor temperatures can be controlled through proper insulation, reflective materials and ventilation plans. Such decisions are favorable to year-long stability and comfort.

Small Buildings in Modern Living
Contemporary small residential buildings are developed based on the principles of practical thinking regarding space, before the drawing is made. The layouts of our team are based on the response to the real conditions of living in Morgan Hill where hot summers, dry air, and winter cold are factors that affect comfort. Clear Spatial DefinitioThe separation of living, resting and service areas is clearly defined to ensure privacy and utilization. Overlapping of functions in the small organizational setting is avoided in this organization. Planned zoning enhances the comfort of daily living without causing the space to be confined.Thermal-Sensitive Airflow DesignLayouts are made in such a way that they promote cross-ventilation where the conditions on the site permit it. Natural circulation of air minimizes heat accumulation in warm seasons. This is a method of temperature regulation without unreasonable dependency on mechanical systems.Efficient Circulation Planning Navigation is made simple and straightforward. The elimination of redundant corridors maximizes available square area. The outcome is that it has a structure, which is open, but at the same time highly functional.The ability to be flexible in the long term.Plans are made to have flexibility of spaces.

People Also Ask
The cheapest option for an Accessory Dwelling Unit is typically a prefabricated or modular unit, often called a "drop-in" ADU. These are built off-site in a factory and then delivered and installed on your property. This method significantly reduces labor costs and construction time compared to a custom-built, stick-frame ADU. A standard "junior ADU" (JADU), which converts existing space like a bedroom or garage, is also a low-cost route, as it requires less new construction. For a detached ADU, a simple studio or one-bedroom layout with standard finishes will keep costs down. At Lecut Construction, we advise clients that the final price depends heavily on site preparation, utility connections, and local permit fees in San Jose. To get the most accurate estimate, a professional evaluation of your specific property is essential.
When building an Accessory Dwelling Unit, common mistakes include underestimating the total project cost and failing to account for utility connection fees. Many homeowners also overlook local zoning rules regarding setbacks and height limits. Another frequent error is choosing an unqualified contractor to save money, which often leads to delays and subpar work. At Lecut Construction, we emphasize the importance of a detailed site survey before design begins. Poor planning for parking and landscaping requirements can also cause permit rejections. To avoid these issues, always verify your property's specific regulations and invest in a comprehensive contract that outlines all phases of construction.
Building a 1200 sq ft ADU in California typically costs between $250,000 and $400,000, depending on design complexity, site conditions, and local fees. In San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale, permit costs, utility connections, and impact fees can add $30,000 to $60,000. For a detailed breakdown of costs and services tailored to your property, refer to our internal article titled Attached ADU Services in San Jose. Lecut Construction recommends budgeting for high-quality materials and professional project management to avoid costly delays. Always consult with a licensed contractor and obtain multiple bids to ensure your project aligns with current building codes and your specific needs.
The maximum size of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale, CA, depends on zoning and lot size. For a detached ADU on a single-family lot, the maximum is typically 1,200 square feet, as per state law. However, local ordinances may impose additional limits, such as a maximum of 800 square feet for properties with specific setbacks or lot constraints. Attached ADUs are often capped at 50% of the primary dwelling's square footage. For comprehensive guidance on sizing and design, we recommend reviewing our internal article titled ADU Designing and Planning. Lecut Construction advises consulting with local planning departments to confirm specific allowances for your property.
