ADU Builder Serving Vida, OR

Thinking about an ADU in Vida? 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. Up the McKenzie, an ADU is often a cottage for a parent or a caretaker on a larger rural parcel, sited to keep the septic field, the well and the river setback clear.

Building an ADU in Vida

Vida lies about 27 miles east of Eugene as the crow flies, on the McKenzie Highway (OR-126), along the McKenzie River. Riverfront and wooded parcels here usually run on wells and septic, and lots near the water can fall inside mapped floodplain or riparian setbacks. Building permits here go through Lane County — 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, Vida is known for the McKenzie River, its drift-boat fishing and the Goodpasture Covered Bridge, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.

Why Vida homeowners choose Red Umbrella

• Garages and ADUs under one roof — the rare shop that masters both, so a garage-with-a-suite is one project, one crew.

• Building since 1969 — you work directly with Bari, not a sales rep or a rotating cast of subs.
