ADU Builder Serving Florence, OR

Thinking about an ADU in Florence? A backyard ADU adds rental income, room for family, and lasting property value — and Red Umbrella has been building garages, ADUs, and additions across Lane County since 1969. Coastal moisture and salt air make Florence builds material-intensive — locals favor fiber-cement siding and pressure-treated framing in garages — and the city’s relatively compact footprint means many in-town lots are tight, so ADUs above garages are the preferred density solution.

Building an ADU in Florence

Florence sits 60 mi west of Eugene on Highway 126 at the Pacific coast. Is on the coast, where salt air, sand, and dune-and-estuary overlays demand a tighter, corrosion-aware build. Building permits here go through City of Florence — a process we know well — and for an ADU, that shapes how utilities connect and whether a detached cottage or an attached unit fits best.

Locally, Florence is known for the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area and the Siuslaw River Bay, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.
