Our Client Testimonials
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.
I was nervous about renovating our tiny San Jose bathroom, but LeCut delivered beyond expectations. They maximized every inch of space, added beautiful tile work, and finished a full week early. The crew was professional, cleaned up daily, and even helped us select fixtures that fit our budget.
We turned our cramped, dark basement into a bright family room and a guest bathroom. It was a big project, but the remodel contractor walked us through every decision. The space is so cozy now that we actually fight over who gets to hang out down there. It’s not just extra square footage, it’s become our favorite room in the house. Such a smart use of space.
My Mom had been wanting to remodel our kitchen for quite a while but after a bad experience with a different contractor our family was very nervous about starting the work back up. Guy with LeCut helped reassure us from the first consultation all the way through till the completion of the project. We really appreciated his transparency and clarity whenever we had questions.
Tal and Nir gave us a first class design experience, looking at Mom's inspiratons and working with us to nail down all the details like paint, materials, lighting, etc. Their full 3D renders got us really excited about the project, and being able to see exactly what the finished product would look like before construction began gave us a lot of confidence.
Sammy and the build team were fantastic. They finished everything from demo, paint, flooring, cabinets, countertops and more in just a month! They worked with Guy to flag and correct any issues quickly. From craftsmanship to making sure everything was up to building code requirements, their work speaks for itself - our family loves how gorgeous our house is now!
LeCut Construction gave us as stress free a remodel as I think you can get with stunning results. Really appreciate Guy and his whole team for their efforts, and would recommend them looking to do remodel work.
Experienced team creating clean finishes and delivering steady updates.
I recently found myself locked out of my house late at night, and it was a terrible experience. I called an emergency locksmith, and a technician came to my location in an incredibly short period of time, less than 20 minutes. He was very professional and polite. He quickly unlocked me into my house without causing any damage. The service was excellent, and the charges were reasonable for the emergency.
Fremont is a varied and expanding municipality and houses are found to be old and well-built around the sections of Niles and Mission San Jose and also recent ones around Warm Springs and Irvington. Most of the homeowners desire to remain near schools, parks, and work place, and adapt their homes to the varying space requirements. Lot sizes are frequently restricted which makes an upward expansion a feasible method of creating more living space without loss of outdoor space.
Fremont has got warm and dry summers, cooler winters, and regular access to the sun throughout most parts of the year. The conditions influence the ability of the upper levels to retain heat and airflow. The additions in the second story in Fremont should have the temperature regulation, insulation effectiveness, and planning of the ventilation to maintain the comfort and efficiency of the new spaces during the seasons.

Second Story Additions with Quality Finishes
The second floor ought to be more functional and better looking. Our group dwells on the finishes that match the already-existing home but offer durability and comfort. The details are also taken care of making the new level seem deliberate and not forced.
- Connection of exterior finishes of the house to style.
- Long term performance materials used inside.
- Sun and heat-resistant roofing and insulation.
- Sanitary access between old and new residential rooms.
These are the final touches that are used to make the second story look cohesive and polished. Good materials and proper installation are contributing factors to a long-lasting look and comfortable feeling.
Structural Integrity in Every Second Story Addition
Structural integrity is necessary in constructing as it would mean that the home could handle extra weight. Structural integrity is highly regarded by our team and it is at the initial stage of each Fremont project. Safety and long-term performance are the results of proper evaluation.
Before the vertical construction is done, we determine foundations, framing, and load-bearing components. In case of the need of reinforcement, it is discussed at the beginning of the process. Such a cautious strategy ensures the second story addition is sturdy, firm, and durable.
Our Team Creates Second Stories That Match Your Home’s Style

The cost to add a room to a second story varies widely based on size, materials, and structural requirements. In the San Jose area, homeowners typically spend between $100,000 and $300,000 for a 400-square-foot second-story room addition. Key factors include foundation reinforcement, roofing adjustments, and permits. For a detailed breakdown of foundation considerations, please refer to our internal article The Ins And Outs Of Home Addition Foundations. Lecut Construction recommends budgeting for engineering fees and potential HVAC upgrades, which can add 10-20% to the total. Always obtain multiple quotes from licensed contractors to ensure accurate pricing for your specific project.
The 30% rule is a common guideline in real estate advising homeowners not to spend more than 30% of their home's current market value on a single room renovation. This principle helps ensure you do not over-improve your property beyond what the neighborhood can support. For example, if your home is valued at $500,000, you should aim to keep a kitchen remodel under $150,000. For a detailed breakdown of how to apply this and other financial safeguards to your project, we recommend reading our internal article titled The Ultimate Pre-Remodeling Checklist For San Jose Homeowners. Lecut Construction always advises clients to balance their vision with smart investment strategy.
Adding a second floor to an existing house is a complex structural project that requires significant engineering and planning. The difficulty depends on your home's foundation, existing framing, and local building codes. A structural engineer must assess whether your current foundation can support the added weight, which often requires extensive reinforcement. You will also need to reroute plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. For a detailed guide on this process, please refer to our internal article Second Story Additions. At Lecut Construction, we emphasize that this is not a DIY task; it demands professional expertise to ensure safety and compliance with San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale regulations.
