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...

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.

Morgan Hill is a combination of suburban lifestyle, picturesque environment and family-oriented communities that are close to Downtown Morgan Hill, Anderson Lake and foothill on Monterey Road. Space, community and closeness to nature are some of the reasons as to why many home owners select this area. With increasing family size, and more needs, an effective method of increasing living space without losing outdoor areas or moving are upwards expansions.
Morgan Hill is hot, dry in summer, cooler in the evenings and with cool winters and consistent exposure to the sun all year round. These situations affect the heat and air circulation of upper floors. The designs of second story additions in Morgan Hill should be thought out with the performance of insulation and ventilation planning, and material of high durability to make sure that the second story additions will be comfortable and efficient throughout the year.
Need Full Second Floor Additions to Growing Families
Households usually have to change in accordance with the increasing family size and space needs. The 2-story addition has the advantage of allowing the addition of bedrooms, common living, or even work areas without changing the footprint of the home. Proper planning will be sure that the new level will help to meet the current needs, as well as the future needs.
Layout Planning for Everyday Functionality
The plans of the second floor are created in such a way that they enhance flow and utility by our team. The room layout, entrances, and movement will be designed to facilitate the everyday family living without any imbalance between the levels.
Organizational Building towards Growth
We would test the foundation and framing of the home to ensure that it is able to support extra load before we start the construction. This is necessary in terms of safety and long-term performance, particularly in full-scale expansions.
Comfort Considerations for Upper Levels
The design includes ceiling height, airflow and natural light that avoids the accumulation of heat. These factors will be used to ensure that the upper floors are comfortable during the warmer seasons in Morgan hill.

Expert Construction for Second Story Expansion
The construction of the skyscrapers will demand professional work and control. Our team deals with the construction of the second story where great care is taken to ensure accuracy, coordination, and quality at every point.
- Types of the constructions chosen in accordance with their strength and stability.
- Fabrics that are used when it is hot and sunny.
- Temperature controlled roofing and insulation.
- Constant monitoring of construction standards.
This hierarchical style helps with the standardization of quality and foreseeable development. All the stages of the construction process are synchronized to make the addition to be constructed in the right way and in an efficient manner.
Second Story Additions That Match Your Home’s Architecture
The addition of a second story should not alter the character of the home but just make it look better. Continuity in architecture is one of the concerns of our team so that the addition would appear to be a continuation of the initial building.
The exterior features including rooflines, siding, location of windows are brought to match with the old house. Transitions of the interior will also be taken into consideration so that movement between the levels is not complicated. This detailing also contributes to the fact that the second story fits well with the original design of the home.
We Focus on Structural Balance in Every Second Story Project
The addition of a second level to any home should be done through structural balance. The distribution of weight and the maintenance of alignment and load of the project are highly maintained in our team. The attention serves to support the old structure but aid the new one.
We develop second story additions that are stable, open, well-integrated due to the coordination of design, engineering, and construction under a single plan. The output is a higher level that can provide a long-term usage keeping the balance and integrity of the entire house.
Plan Your Second Story Addition
Growing upwards enables a house to acquire space without compromising on outdoor space and location. A second story could add comfort, functionality and value with proper planning.

Adding a second story to your garage is a significant investment, with costs typically ranging from $80,000 to $150,000 in the San Jose area. The final price depends on structural reinforcement, foundation work, and the complexity of the design. For a detailed breakdown of expenses and planning considerations, we recommend reading our internal article Second Story Additions. This resource covers essential steps and industry standards. At Lecut Construction, we emphasize that proper engineering and permits are crucial for safety and compliance, especially in Santa Clara and Sunnyvale. Always obtain multiple bids and verify contractor licenses to ensure your project stays within budget and meets local building codes.
Adding a 1000 sq ft second story is a major structural project. In the San Jose area, costs typically range from $250 to $500 per square foot, meaning a total investment of $250,000 to $500,000. This wide range depends on foundation reinforcement, roofing complexity, and interior finishes. You must also budget for engineering reports, permits, and potential seismic retrofitting, which is common in Santa Clara County. For a detailed breakdown of local regulations and cost-saving strategies, read our internal article titled 'San Jose Home Improvement Guide: Navigate Permits, Preservation Rules, and Renovation Costs Like a Pro' at San Jose Home Improvement Guide: Navigate Permits, Preservation Rules, and Renovation Costs Like a Pro. Lecut Construction recommends getting at least three detailed bids to compare structural scopes accurately.
When deciding between a second story addition and a ground-level expansion, cost is a major factor. Generally, a ground-level addition is less expensive per square foot because it avoids the structural reinforcement, foundation upgrades, and complex roofing work required for a second floor. However, if your property has limited yard space, building upward may be the only viable option. For detailed guidance on this decision, we recommend reading our internal article titled Second Story Additions, which breaks down cost comparisons and structural considerations. Lecut Construction advises homeowners to obtain multiple quotes, as local labor and material costs in San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale can vary significantly. Always consult a licensed structural engineer before finalizing your plans.
The 30% rule is a financial guideline suggesting that homeowners should not spend more than 30% of their home's current market value on a single renovation project. This principle helps ensure you do not over-improve your property for the neighborhood, which can make it difficult to recoup costs upon resale. For example, if your home is valued at $500,000, your maximum renovation budget should be around $150,000. While this rule provides a useful benchmark, it is not a strict law. For personalized advice tailored to your specific San Jose home, 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.
