Our Client Testimonials
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.

My Husband and i absolutely thrilled with my newly remodeled kitchen by LECUT CoNSTRCTION / Yari, I had a very specific vision for a clean, minimalist, all-white kitchen centered around a beautiful island, and they brought it to life perfectly. The team was professional, communicative, and truly respected, specially Yari and Louis, my home throughout the entire process. The quality of the finishings and the attention to detail exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a team that can execute a flawless design, I highly recommend them!"

These guys handled my bathroom in a very special way. They did an overall renovation on my bathroom and it looks great now. I would highly recommend them again and again.
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...

The city of Union is characterized by its compact residential structure, residential housing on hills, and interconnected hoods along Bergenline Avenue, Washington Park, and Palisade Avenue. As homes are constructed at a small distance, lot space is small and many homeowners will look upwards in case of need to have more living space. The vertical expansion will enable the families to stay in the community they are accustomed to but to transform their homes as the needs vary.
The city of Union City is characterized by warm and humid summer seasons, constant sun rays, and cold winter seasons which introduce change in temperatures. These factors influence the distribution of heat and air circulation of upper levels. The additions of the second stories of this area have to be properly planned to control the insulation, air, and building performance to ensure that the new rooms are comfortable and reliable throughout the year.
Professional Second Story Services from Planning to Completion
Construction of the second story should be systematized and experienced, which is of constant monitoring. The team handles every stage of the project systematically and this has ensured that work is coordinated throughout. Proper planning can also be used to ensure that the expansion process is not halted unnecessarily.
Detailed Planning and Project Coordination
Each project starts with a clear plan that involves the scope, schedules as well as construction stages. This planning assists in setting the expectations and also serving to keep the set of the build on track during every phase.
Supervision at All the Stages
Regular inspection will be used to ensure that quality standards are kept throughout the work of the structure to the final finishes. Our staff will keep track of the progress to make sure that work is kept in line with approved plans and safety requirements.
Completion with Attention to Final Details
When the project is almost finished then proper review is done so that the new level can meet the structural, functional and visual objectives. This last consideration aids in the provision of an excellent addition.
This will allow the project to be taken through all the phases, making it easier to overcome the obstacles that could arise early in the project and schedules will be easier to handle. The outcome is a second story addition that has been completed with clarity, consistency, and detail without any neglect.

Maximize Home Potential with a Second Story
The second story has the potential of changing dramatically the way a home operates by providing them with more living space without the need to go out. This will enable residential and property owners to increase their space without sacrificing outdoor space and property lines. Plans to improve room flow and accommodate daily operations.
- Proper ventilation and ceiling height that is taken into consideration in order to keep the year-round comfort.
- Simple light was used with the help of careful location of windows to avoid closed-in areas.
- Balance of structure between levels, which are to sustain long term stability.
These considerations are used to bring out the full potential of the home. The extra room is cozy and practical, and it is simply tied into everyday life, and the second floor is not an empty addition of what amounts to the space.
Second Story Additions with Skilled Engineering
The engineering aspect of the second story additions is vital in providing safe and permanent second stories. Careful consideration is needed in building upwards in the homes of Union City because they have different ages and ways of construction. The foundations, framing and load-bearing components are evaluated by our team in ensuring structural preparedness.
In the case of reinforcement, this is taken care of early in the process. This is an engineering-related solution that can help stabilize the addition of the second story and make it secure and long-term performance oriented.
We Create Upper Levels That Feel Open, Solid, and Natural
The second story must be designed in such a way that it feels as a part of the home. Our team concentrates on continuity in architecture in order to have the same rooflines, finishes, proportions.
Interior planning is also something crucial. Open spaces, well considered transitions, and airflow are used to make the new level feel connected to the rest of the house. This is achieved by designing, engineering and building the upper levels in such a way that they are strong, open-air and naturally incorporated.
Plan Your Second Story Addition
The upward construction will enable the residents of Union City to acquire space without having to move out. A second story could increase comfort level, functionality and long-term value with proper planning.
Our group is willing to assist you in learning more about the second story addition projects that will not interfere with the construction of your house and will be able to meet the needs of a Union City lifestyle. We should strategize a vertical growth which will be meaningful, robust and sustainable.

The cost to add a second story to your garage varies widely based on structural requirements, materials, and local permit fees. In the San Jose area, a basic garage addition typically ranges from $30,000 to $60,000, but complex projects with living space can exceed $100,000. Key factors include foundation reinforcement, roofing, and utility connections. For detailed guidance, we recommend reviewing our internal article titled Second Story Additions. Lecut Construction advises always obtaining multiple quotes and verifying contractor licenses to ensure compliance with Santa Clara County building codes.
The cost of a 20x20 addition, which is 400 square feet, typically ranges from $80,000 to $200,000 or more, depending on finishes and complexity. This estimate covers foundation, framing, roofing, insulation, drywall, flooring, electrical, and plumbing. For a more precise figure, you should consider site preparation, permit fees, and the quality of materials. If you are looking for a detailed breakdown of the process and factors that affect pricing, we recommend reviewing our internal article titled Room Addition. At Lecut Construction, we always advise getting a custom quote for your specific property to account for local requirements and structural needs.
For a 1000 sq ft second story addition in San Jose, Santa Clara, or Sunnyvale, you should expect costs to range from $250,000 to $400,000 or more. This estimate covers structural engineering, foundation reinforcement, framing, roofing, siding, electrical, plumbing, and interior finishes. The wide range depends on the complexity of the design, quality of materials, and the condition of your existing home. A full second floor addition is a major structural project that requires city permits and compliance with local building codes. For detailed guidance on navigating these requirements and managing your budget, please review our internal article titled San Jose Home Improvement Guide: Navigate Permits, Preservation Rules, and Renovation Costs Like a Pro. Lecut Construction recommends getting at least three detailed bids from licensed contractors to ensure competitive pricing and scope clarity.
For homeowners in San Jose, Santa Clara, or Sunnyvale, deciding between a second floor and a ground-floor addition depends on your lot size and budget. Generally, a second-story addition is often more cost-effective per square foot because it avoids the expense of extending the foundation and roof structure. However, it requires reinforcing the existing foundation and framing, which can be significant. A ground-floor addition typically involves new foundation work and roof modifications, which can be pricier for the same square footage. For detailed guidance specific to your property, please refer to our internal article titled Second Story Additions, which covers key cost factors and planning steps. Lecut Construction recommends consulting a structural engineer to assess your home's load-bearing capacity before deciding.
