Our Client Testimonials
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...

Saratoga land is typically characterized by bigger parcels, established trees, topography effects, and heavy reliance on privacy and style regularity—a setting that echoes the serenity of landmarks like Hakone Gardens and the historic elegance of Montalvo Arts Center. Our team knows that the design and planning of ADU in Saratoga will have to deal with diverse terrain, shaded regions, and local climate consisting of warm dry summer, cooler evenings, more humidity around foothills, and the seasonal temperature drops. All these are important in influencing the manner in which ADUs are to be designed in order to be comfortable, durable and integrate smoothly.
In Saratoga, the planning at ADU usually depends on precision and not size. Even bigger sites still need close considerations regarding distance, access and the interaction of the ADU with daily activity on the site. The relationships of the new space with the existing home in terms of movement of people, preservation of privacy and the functionality of the ADU not feeling like it is out of place are the areas we are concentrating on. This solution enables the design to be purposeful, balanced, and useful as opposed to being oversized or underused.
ADU Design to Functional Comfort
An effective ADU is based on functional comfort. In Saratoga where houses are constructed with long term residence in mind comfort cannot be taken but has to be deliberate. Our team comes up with ADUs that sustain day-to-day activities as well as react to the environmental circumstances.
Small Space Thermal Balance
Plans will be made in layout to avoid heat accumulation during hot seasons and make the house warm during the cold evenings. Insulation and airflow measures are synergistic. The comfort is ensured without excessive dependence on the systems.
Logical Room Relationships
Space arrangement is made in a manner that favors natural motion and functionality. The living rooms, kitchen, and bedroom are conveniently located. This enhances the comfort in daily life.
Silence and Privacy Concerns
ADUs are constructed so as to reduce the effect of noise transfers and visual intrusion. Privacy also helps in comforting ADU and the main residence. Considered positioning is a difference.
The balanced designs produce ADUs that are deliberate. Space may be shared wisely and the usability will follow accordingly.

Structural ADU Design Coordination
Structural coordination would make the ADU design realistic and construction ready before the construction process takes place. Site conditions and property characteristics in the location of Saratoga make this step particularly important. Our planning team also plans the structures and design layouts.
- Site and Foundation Alignment: Structural planning takes into consideration soil conditions and elevations. This promotes stability in the long term. Early coordination also eliminates subsequent changes.
- Fitting In with Existing Structures: ADUs are to be structured to fit the mother house as much as possible. This enhances uniformity and put-together-ness. Organization will assist in permanency.
- Material and Load Planning: Structural factors are chosen to deal with environmental stress. They are heat exposure and seasonal changes. Material decisions are made based on performance.
- Build Sequencing Awareness: Structural planning takes into account the order and the accessibility of the construction site. This improves efficiency. Less conflicts are experienced during the build.
Coordination of structure minimizes risk. Projects proceed to a predictable direction when they are well-designed and structured.
Purpose-Driven ADU Design
The process of purpose-driven design begins with the definition of the way the ADU is being used in the long term. At Saratoga, the ADUs are usually used to fit changing needs such as family residence or guest housing. Our team is intentional in design and is not based on assumptions.
Purpose is also related to environmental response. The work areas, residential, and sleeping areas are arranged on the basis of light, shade, and air circulation. Purpose-driven design does not designate the role of function and comfort as independent variables.
Our Team Designs ADUs Tailored to Each Property
Our group handles each project at ADU as an individual planning problem. There are two properties in Saratoga that do not react in a similar way because of terrain, landscaping, and orientation. Each design is made to mirror these differences.
We develop ADUs with a sense of integrative strength and purpose by synchronizing layout choices, structural planning, and environmental response. The aspects of heat management, airflow, and usability are discussed jointly. This combined methodology promotes long term comfort and efficiency.
Outline Your ADU Direction
The majority of ADU problems commence way prior to the commencement of construction. Our team aids you in the process of determining points of pressure, limitations, and the long-term outcomes at a time when the changes can be made easily.
Consult us to make wise options prior to the project being chained by momentum.

A design build ADU company is a single firm that handles both the architectural design and the construction of an Accessory Dwelling Unit. Unlike the traditional method where you hire a separate architect and then a contractor, a design build firm streamlines the entire process under one contract. This integrated approach fosters better communication, reduces project delays, and often leads to cost savings because the design team works directly with the builders from the start. For homeowners in San Jose looking to add a backyard cottage or garage conversion, this model simplifies the complex permitting and construction phases.
