Lyons ADU Builder

Thinking about an ADU in Lyons? A backyard ADU adds rental income, room for family, and lasting property value — and Red Umbrella has been building garages, ADUs, and additions across Linn County since 1969. Lyons sits where the canyon narrows along the North Santiam, meaning sloped lots are common and garage foundations often require engineered cut-and-fill rather than a simple slab.

Building an ADU in Lyons

Lyons sits 65 mi north-northeast of Eugene via I-5 & OR-22. Is up in the foothills, where slope, snow load, and wildfire-resilient construction all come into the plan. Building permits here go through City of Lyons — 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, Lyons is known for North Santiam River, OR-22 North Santiam Highway, Santiam State Forest, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.
