Our Client Testimonials
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...

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.

The neighborhoods in Cupertino are characterized by a tranquil residential street in the vicinity of Rancho San Antonio, established homes in the area of Monta Vista, and hillside properties which have very wide views of Stevens Creek. Cupertino has high temperatures, aridness in summers, intense afternoon sunlight and low temperatures in winter with a little rainfall and this means that homes here need to control heat build-up, ability to insulate and ability to keep moisture at structural connection points. ADUs in this environment must be planned carefully to avoid overheating, expansion of the material and energy inefficiency in the points where there is the connection of the new building to the existing home.
Our attached ADUs are constructed in Cupertino with a distinct sense of how the local houses react to climatic conditions and landscape. Our team concerns itself with structural relationships that minimize heat transfer, strengthen the insulation, and promote the long-term sustainability. We design detached living quarters that are comfortable, efficient, and fully integrated with the main house all year round by taking into account the solar exposure, the variations in temperature, and seasonal precipitations.
Structural ADU Additions
Structural ADU extensions require a precise method particularly in Cupertino where most of the houses were not planned to have an extension. Our starting point is to examine foundations, framing and load bearing material to establish the way new building can be supported safely. This is an important planning phase to make sure that it is long-term stable.
Strengthening Relationship Planning
We make the places where the ADU joins to the main home stronger to avoid stress and movement. Earthquake factors are known to be widespread in our team. This will give a cohesive framework that acts as a single mechanism.
Heat Resistant Building Assemblies
Hot weather can’t be satisfied with simple ways of construction. Our wall and roof constructions are designed to restrict penetrations of heat and to contain thermal expansions. These options stabilize the temperatures indoors.
Structural Solutions Written in Code
Additional structures are to be adhered to the local building requirements. We plan on established setback, height and lot coverage regulations. This minimizes the delays in approvals and construction risks.
Since the evaluation of the construction, we pay attention to performance, strength and durability. Our design will guarantee structural ADUs that are deliberate and safe.

Home-Based ADU Development
Privacy and cohesion are the two factors to be considered in home-based development of ADU. Plans We are making layouts, where the ADU will be able to operate separately yet have a natural association with the core residence. This balance must exist in the narrowly organized neighborhoods of Cupertino.
- The shared-walls should be placed strategically to avoid the transfer of heat and sound.
- Better insulation in prolonged warm seasons.
- Winter rain-suitable moisture barriers.
- Laying down the windows in such a way that does not block the air circulation.
- Planning of separate access to aid independence.
By solving all these factors at earlier stages, we lessen the trouble of construction and enhance everyday use. Our team designs durable and therefore the ADU will be functional in the climate conditions of Cupertino.
ADU Construction Using Existing Footprints
Constructing a connected ADU with an existing footprint is a sure way of enabling the homeowners to expand without necessarily changing the layout of the property significantly. We examine the existing structure in operation and where space can be redefined to work effectively. It can be quite effective with side or rear extensions typical of Cupertino houses.
In our team, the priorities are on the insulation upgrades and the improvement of ventilation in older structures to overcome the heat accumulated in the building. We can assist in minimizing energy pressure through enhancement of thermal performance shared spaces, which do not jeopardize comfort. The outcome is a clinging ADU which feels sensible and harmonized in the initial footprint.
We Handle Attached ADU Projects with Care
We treat attached ADU projects in a systematic and analytical manner. To ensure that projects are organized and predictable, our team coordinates the design, planning and construction. All decisions are informed by local demands, location factors, and climatic factors.
In addition to construction, we are concerned with the way the space will work in the long run. Designs that are considerate, efficient insulation and heat-resistance are some of the factors contributing to comfort over time. Attached ADUs are treated as permanent residences, and they are constructed in the same standards as the primary home.
Plan Your ADU Thoughtfully
A home should be improved by an attached ADU which does not cause any problem in the long run. Our crew assists the Cupertino homeowners in determining the structure, climatic factors and designs prior to the construction process.

Generally, attached Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are often more cost-effective than detached units because they share existing infrastructure with the primary home, such as plumbing, electrical, and foundation systems. This can reduce site work and utility connection expenses. However, costs vary significantly based on design complexity, local permit fees, and material choices. For homeowners in San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale, CA, evaluating specific site conditions is crucial. For detailed guidance on this topic, please refer to our internal article titled Attached ADU Services in Santa Clara, which provides comprehensive insights into cost factors and planning for attached ADUs in Santa Clara. Lecut Construction recommends consulting with a local professional to get an accurate estimate for your property.
Building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) involves several common pitfalls that can delay your project. The most frequent mistakes include underestimating the total cost, especially for utility connections and impact fees, and failing to secure proper permits before starting work. Many homeowners also overlook zoning restrictions on lot coverage, setbacks, and height limits. Another critical error is poor planning for parking requirements and fire safety access. To avoid these issues, it is essential to work with a professional team. For a deeper understanding of local pitfalls, we recommend reading our internal article titled The Most Common Code Violations In DIY San Jose Remodels. Lecut Construction can help guide your San Jose ADU project through these complex requirements.
The new laws for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in California for 2026 focus on streamlining approvals and reducing barriers. Key changes include allowing ADUs to be built on properties with existing non-conforming structures, and removing owner-occupancy requirements for ADU permits. Additionally, local agencies must approve or deny ADU applications within 60 days, and cannot impose minimum lot size requirements. For homeowners in San Jose, Santa Clara, or Sunnyvale, these updates make it easier to add rental income or family housing. At Lecut Construction, we stay current with these regulations to ensure your project meets all state and local codes efficiently.
