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After beating out two other remodel bids, because of the team, vision, and value, Yari, Luis, and team transformed our outdated bathroom into a clean, usable, and comfortable space.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.
Residing in Los Altos is a blessing of serene communities such as South Los Altos, the shaded streets bordering the Shoup Park and Lincoln Park, and houses that represent years of careful California thought process. The residential identity of the area is clearly represented in classic ranch-style houses and Eichler-inspired architecture, which must be carefully taken into consideration when increasing residential space. We are also proud to know how the local character, mature trees and quiet environment impact the way room additions ought to be, and to how they ought to feel.
Our team works with a strong understanding of the Los Altos conditions such as hot summers, frequent heat waves and cold, wet winters. These weather patterns influence the performance of materials, circulation of air and the comfort of interiors. Our room extensions will remain cool in the hot seasons, humidity controlled and structurally sound in the changing of seasons. Through combining the familiar with the functional design, we make extensions that are natural, comfortable and sustainable.
Layout Planning for Added Living Areas
The planning of smart layout predetermines the successful room addition. Families in Los Altos are concerned with both a comfortable interior and a connection to the outside world, so we have developed a strategy centered on functionality and how long the interiors will last.
Planning to Natural Light and Airflow
We are also very keen in placing windows and doors in a way that allows us to take advantage of the natural light without having to overheat in hot summer afternoons. Our group takes into consideration the cross-ventilation, which contributes to the lowering of the humidity accumulation in colder, more humid months. This provides the rooms with an open, balanced, and comfortable atmosphere all year round.
Adjustment of Lot Size and Zoning
The Los Altos real estate is diverse, with big parcels to smaller ones in the downtown area. We design layouts that are sensitive to setbacks, privacy and character of neighborhoods. This makes your addition voluntary, not coercive.

We create layouts that will grow with your needs, be it in home offices, guest suites or long term family living. Our strategies do not cause disruption of space to be interrupted. The product is a natural addition that works on the first day.

We Build Additions That Enhance Comfort and Value
It is a luxury and comfort that goes hand in hand when putting an extension on a home in Los Altos. Our group is concentrated on the construction of extensions that will be well-functioning in the climate conditions of the locality and add to the general property value. Each point is taken into consideration with long-term usage.
- Heat resistant insulation systems.
- Moisture control solution during wet and humid seasons.
- Introduction of energy conservation of windows and doors.
- Local soil-related structural planning.
- Design finishes which are compatible with other architecture.
Through these aspects, we assist the homeowners to experience a better comfort and home value. Our extensions are designed to age gracefully, work effectively and fit perfectly well with the existing house. This consideration is a guarantee of long term fulfillment and good resale value.
Foundation and Framing for Home Extensions
The foundation is also a very important aspect and accurate framing will play a vital role in Los Altos wherein the soil condition and seismic factors will require expertise. We construct foundations that respond to moisture seasonal variations and are stable at dry climatic conditions and infrequent freezes.
Framing is done in ways that concentrate on structural integrity and energy performance. Through material that relates to local changes in temperature, we can avoid warping, moisture penetration and wear over time. This forms a strong support system which provides comfort, safety and permanence.
Integrating New Space with Existing Floor Plans
The key difference between an addition that is good and the one that is great is seamless integration. We consult your current floor plan keenly so that the ceiling heights, transition and circulation paths can be aligned. This prevents stilted relationships and still maintains the original flow of your home.
We also coordinate materials, proportions, and language of design in our team to ensure the new space is coherent. Whether it is the old fashioned California ranch style of your place of residence or the modern lines, we make sure that the addition would not disrupt the overall structure of the building.

This means a total project cost could fall between $80,000 and $160,000. Factors like foundation work, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and interior finishes heavily influence the final price.

A 12x12 room addition typically costs between $30,000 and $60,000, though the final price depends heavily on the scope of work, materials, and local labor rates. This estimate usually covers the foundation, framing, roofing, insulation, drywall, basic electrical and plumbing, and standard finishes. For a more precise figure, you should obtain multiple quotes from licensed contractors. For detailed guidance on this project, we recommend reviewing our internal article titled Room Addition. At Lecut Construction, we always advise homeowners to budget for unexpected structural or permit-related expenses.

The 30% rule is a guideline often used by real estate professionals to ensure you do not over-improve your property for the neighborhood. It suggests that the value of your renovation should not exceed 30% of your home's current market value. For example, if your home is worth $500,000, you should avoid spending more than $150,000 on a single room remodel. This helps maintain a good return on investment when you sell. For a more tailored approach, we recommend reviewing our internal article titled 'The Ultimate Pre-Remodeling Checklist For San Jose Homeowners' at The Ultimate Pre-Remodeling Checklist For San Jose Homeowners to align your project with local market conditions. Lecut Construction advises clients to always balance personal enjoyment with future resale value.
