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After beating out two other remodel bids, because of the team, vision, and value, Yari, Luis, and team transformed our outdated bathroom into a clean, usable, and comfortable space.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.
The residential zones of Hayward, from the historic Hayward City Hall and the serene Hayward Japanese Gardens to the hillside communities along the Fairview and well-established streets around downtown, extend to residences affected by Bay-side factors nearer to the shoreline. Warm and dry summers, powerful sunshine in the afternoons, cool evenings in winter, and seasonal rainfalls are some of the features that can bring moisture to older buildings. These circumstances provide certain difficulties to attached ADUs, particularly in the areas of heat accumulation, continuity of insulation, and humidity management where new construction is made to the old walls.
The attached ADUs of Hayward have to work under extended heat exposure, temperature changes, and moisture during rainy seasons. Thermal transfer and condensation are prone to shared walls and structural joints unless he or she plans them appropriately. We use climate conscious construction techniques to make attached living space comfortable, efficient and structurally reliable within the local conditions.
Expanding ADU With Existing Walls
Development of an ADU with the help of current walls needs thorough consideration prior to the construction works. In Hayward, a significant number of houses were constructed decades ago, and it is necessary to comprehend how initial wall constructions will work in case of the addition of space.
Shared-Wall Structural Assessment
Current walls are examined to find out load-balance and reinforcement requirements. This will contribute to the stability of the home not being destabilized by the added space. Timely evaluation minimizes the chances of structural problems in the future.
Control of Heat and Sound Transfer
Shared walls have the potential of passing heat and noise in case they are not addressed well. Higher levels of insulation and barrier systems are employed to reduce the heat gain on hot afternoons. Everyday privacy is also enhanced by such measures.
Blending With the Current Designs
The expansions will be in accordance with the original layout of the home. This aids in flow functionality and prevents clumsy changing. The idea is an addition that is deliberate.

Connection Planning Structurally
Connection points between the old and the new construction are strengthened to hold additional loads. This will avoid movement and chronic stress.
Weatherstrip Insulation Systems: Insulation is chosen to deal with warm and fluctuating temperatures over a long period of time. This minimizes the accumulation of heat in common walls.
Hydra protection and Moisture protection: Barriers and ventilation plans are also added to avoid condensation in the rainy season. This keeps finishes and structure safe.
Layout Design and Functional Access: The plan will include entry points and interior transitions that will help with independence and usability. This will make the ADU not secondary but livable.
The materials and systems selected work efficiently in the climate conditions and frequent use conditions of Hayward.
ADU Structural Additions Planning
To add structures that will not affect the old ones, one should have a proper knowledge of how the new structure will be attached to the old foundations, framing and roofline. Every project starts with an analysis of load paths and points of connection. This is particularly significant in Hayward houses that are so old in its construction technique.
Structural planning is also environmentally sensitive to climate. The walls and roof structures are aimed at minimizing building heat absorption and controlling moisture in the rainy season. Such choices facilitate the preservation of comfort and safety of the structure in the long term.
Our Team Delivers Personalized Solutions
Each project to which ADU is attached has its own challenge according to structure, layout, and location. The decisions made during the planning and construction are made according to the needs of the particular home and the solutions are not generic. This will allow coordination of the completed space with the way the property is used.
The long-term performance is taken into consideration with the immediate functionality. Timeless construction, good insulation, and considerate designs are used to make the attached ADU comfortable and dependable with time. Every project is addressed as a lasting living solution that has been constructed.

The $40,000 grant in California for ADUs refers to the CalHFA ADU Grant program, which provides up to $40,000 to eligible homeowners to help cover pre-construction costs for building an accessory dwelling unit. This grant is intended to offset expenses like architectural plans, permits, and site preparation. For homeowners in San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale, this funding can significantly reduce the upfront financial burden. At Lecut Construction, we often guide clients through the application process and ensure their project meets state requirements. The grant is available on a first-come, first-served basis and does not need to be repaid, making it a valuable resource for expanding housing options in our local area.
Building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) involves navigating complex zoning laws, which is where many homeowners stumble. A frequent error is failing to secure the correct permits before starting construction, leading to costly stop-work orders. Another common mistake is underestimating the required setbacks from property lines or ignoring height restrictions, which can result in non-compliance. Poor planning for utility connections, such as sewer and electrical, often causes budget overruns. For a deeper look into San Jose-specific pitfalls, we recommend reading our internal article titled The Most Common Code Violations In DIY San Jose Remodels. Lecut Construction advises consulting with local experts early to avoid these issues and ensure your ADU meets all current code requirements.
