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...

LeCut Construction updated multiple rooms in our home and delivered consistent quality throughout. Every detail was handled carefully and professionally. The communication stayed strong from beginning to end. The finished work exceeded our expectations.
The crew was respectful and worked efficiently. They paid attention to every finishing detail. The kitchen looks modern
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.
No other location in the South Bay offers the same kind of setting that Saratoga does, filled with large estates that line Pierce Road, picturesque ranch houses around Saratoga Village, and hillside properties that overlook the valley afforded by Villa Montalvo and the Mount Eden neighborhood. In warm, dry summer, cool evenings coming over the Santa Cruz mountains, and a little moisture occasionally falling on the low foothills, the construction here must not be made on ordinary lines.
We take into consideration the sun patterns on large plots in Parker Ranch, the effects of cooler canyon winds on the material movement, and how high properties lay vulnerable to varying temperatures than their more town-proximate neighbors. Our combination of practical engineering and design thinking allows us to design spaces that merge well with the landscape of Saratoga and provide the homeowners with the safety and comfort they are used to. Our team has an understanding, creativity, and purpose in all its steps, whether it is in the initial discussion or in the final inspection.
A Coordinated Path That Keeps Your Project on Track
Design-build in Saratoga requires a strategy that becomes flexible to the environment, architecture and the expectations of the client. Houses here are of mid-century houses which need to be modernized, or bespoke estates that need finely tuned organization so we are not too rigid but well organized.
Understanding the Site and Its Structural Demands
We consider slope conditions, sun exposure, shaded areas and airflow patterns that are specific to your area before we draw out concepts. These lessons will help us to choose the materials and layout that will be stable during the hot summer and cold nights affected by the mountains of Saratoga.
Design Development That Enhances Everyday Living
We design the plan based on the way you live in your house- circulation, natural light, meeting areas and long term comfort. The climate of Saratoga is a motivator to such decisions as strategic shading, insulation layering, and material combinations that would yield the beauties and the durability.
Construction Execution That Honors the Design Intent
We also liaise with trades during the construction phase and ensure that materials are not affected by changes in temperatures and keep checking that all aspects are as per the approved plans. Frequent communication keeps you informed about the progress of the project and behind every decision made.

This organization enables the construction of a visually clean and technically correct building. In the long term, the choices you make put your home secure, effective, and comfortable with the warm summer days and the evenings of transition in the cool weather in Saratoga.
Crafted With Intention, Built for Long-Term Comfort
We evoke spaces that blend functionality with aesthetics, through additions to the custom and total overhaul of the home. The topography and climate of Saratoga determine the nature of structural reinforcement, exterior finishes, and so on, and we take it into account at the very beginning. The result of this mindfulness is well-grounded spaces but high-end spaces that are in touch with the setting.
Our group comes with a combination of imagination, accuracy, and common sense to each of your projects- making sure that your house represents the way you live and is stable despite the fluctuations in weather.
Local Knowledge That Elevates Every Project
The unique microclimates of Saratoga (flats and canyons) determine how our homes are built and constructed. The awareness of such nuances will allow choosing systems and materials that stand up in the heat, do not wear as quickly, and ensure comfort all year round.
We maintain teamwork in all aspects and perfect ideas with clients and experts to ensure that the end product is functional and at the same time a bit of personal flair. This makes your space personalized, purposeful and ready for the changing weather patterns of Saratoga.

When communicating with your contractor, avoid saying "I can get materials cheaper myself" as this disrupts warranty and supply chain accountability. Also, never state "just do it and I'll pay later," as verbal agreements can lead to disputes. Avoid saying "my neighbor got a lower quote" without context, as scope and quality vary. Instead, discuss concerns professionally. For pricing clarity, Lecut Construction recommends reviewing our internal article titled How To Choose The Right Gutters And Downspouts to understand material standards. Always put changes in writing to avoid misunderstandings.
The main difference between EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) and design-build lies in the contractual structure and risk allocation. In an EPC contract, the contractor takes full responsibility for all phases, including engineering, procurement, and construction, and typically guarantees a fixed price and completion date. This shifts most performance and cost risks to the contractor. Design-build, while similar in offering a single point of responsibility, often allows for more collaborative input from the owner during the design phase. Both methods streamline project delivery by integrating design and construction, but EPC is more common in large-scale industrial projects where strict performance guarantees are needed. For smaller commercial or residential projects, design-build can offer more flexibility. At Lecut Construction, we tailor our approach to match each project's specific requirements and risk profile.
The cost to design a building varies significantly based on project scope, complexity, and location. For a typical residential project in San Jose, CA, architectural fees often range from 8% to 15% of the total construction cost. This covers schematic design, development, and construction documents. For a full-service custom home, fees can be higher. To get a precise estimate for your specific project, we recommend consulting with a qualified professional.

This guide provides specific cost insights for mid-century renovations.
