Our Client Testimonials
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.
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.
Fremont, with iconic landmarks like Central Park, the Ardenwood Historic Farm, and the Fremont Baylands, has an abundance of residential areas; there are the small residential streets of Niles, as well as the more spacious suburban plots of Mission San Jose and Warm Springs. There was a lot of construction of homes with spacious yards or attached homes which do not conform to the current lifestyle. Our customers are homeowners who desire to create independent living space without altering the balance, privacy and functionality that their property currently provides.
The climate in Fremont directly affects the ways in which the ADUs are to be designed. Summers are hot and dry, which means that roofing, insulation, and interior cooling all become stressed, whereas in the winter evenings and the occasional drop of the temperature, the necessity to ensure adequate air sealing becomes apparent. Our team will design ADUs which will control heat, facilitate air flows and will not be uncomfortable during all the year without wasteful energy consumption.
Customization Options for ADUs
Customization enables an ADU to be laboring on actual household requirements as opposed to generic layouts. We assist homeowners to develop their ADU in accordance to the way space will be used in the long run. This is because early customization produces long-term outcomes.
Layout and Space Planning
Our layouts are planned to focus on day to day movement, storage and flexibility. Circulation and room sizes are provided in such a way that it does not waste space. Our crew designs every plan according to the shape and points of access of the property. Every decision is guided by function.
Selection of Material and Finish
We assist in choosing finishes that are good in Fremont’s warm climate. Durability of flooring, heat-resistant materials and effective windows are emphasized. These decisions compromise between appearance and performance in the long term. Individualization endorses comfort and permanence.
Energy and Comfort Features
We combine insulation, ventilation and shading solutions depending on the conditions of the site. Recommended energy-efficient systems are used to manage summer heat. Comfort features will be included as necessities and not an option. Such a strategy enhances everyday usability.
Having settled on lighting, consideration of size constraints and space utilization become the focus of attention of homeowners.

Common ADU Mistakes to Avoid
It can be time and money saving, as well as avoidance of unnecessary frustration during an ADU project. We steer homeowners off decisions that tend to develop long term functionality or compliance problems. Through experience, we can be able to spot the possible risks early enough before they create delays in schedules or budgets.
- Not estimating time to permit and approval that may take long to construct.
- His negligence is disregarding the heat exposure, insulation, and ventilation requirements in the warm climate of Fremont.
- Selecting layouts that restrict their ability to flex in future or their use in everyday life.
- Not following the appropriate insulation or air sealing, resulting in comfort and energy problems.
- Lack of early plan effort on utility connections which lead to redesigns and increased costs.
Avoiding these problems will result in a simpler construction process, clearer timeline, and improved outcomes in general. We are also proactive and strategic at all levels, not reactive to issues that emerge.
What Utilities Are Needed for an ADU?
The degree of autonomy of an ADU is determined by utilities. We assist the homeowners to know what connections are necessary and their implications to the price and design. Proper scheduling prevents inconveniences in the future.
The majority of ADUs have electrical, plumbing, and sewer connections of residential standards. Gas supply can be required based on appliances and heating systems. Drainage and ventilation also have to be considered. The utility planning is coordinated by our team in order to achieve reliable performance and code compliance.
Our ADU Services Are Tailored to Your Home’s Needs
Each Fremont lot has come with its own issues regarding the size of the lot, accessibility, and the amount of sun exposure. We custom build every project at ADU to such circumstances instead of imposing generic solutions. We plan in such a way that we are planning the way the space would be utilized in the long term.
Consistency and accountability are achievable by the unity of design, permitting, and construction. Core requirements are considered to be heat resistance, insulation quality, and ventilation. This strategy will enable us to provide ADUs that are comfortable, efficient, and worthwhile to us in the long run.

The cheapest option for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is typically a prefabricated or modular unit, often referred to as a "prefab" ADU. These units are built off-site in a factory, which reduces labor costs and construction time compared to a custom-built structure. A studio or one-bedroom prefab ADU, at around 400 to 600 square feet, is the most cost-effective. For homeowners in San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale, CA, a simple "junior ADU" (JADU) converted from existing space, like a garage or spare bedroom, can be even cheaper. This option avoids the need for a new foundation and extensive site work. At Lecut Construction, we recommend evaluating your property's existing layout first to maximize savings. Always secure permits and consult a professional to ensure compliance with local zoning laws, as this prevents costly fines.
When building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), common mistakes include underestimating the total project cost, failing to secure proper permits, and ignoring local setback requirements.
