Custom Garage Builder in Albany, Oregon

Thinking about a custom garage in Albany? A custom garage means covered parking, a real workshop, RV storage, or an apartment above — and Red Umbrella has been building garages, ADUs, and additions across Linn County since 1969. Albany’s historic Victorian streetscape means additions must respect design-review standards that don’t apply anywhere else in Linn County — we navigate that process routinely.

Building a custom garage in Albany

Albany sits 26 mi north of Eugene via I-5. Sits on the Willamette Valley floor with established neighborhoods and city-run permitting, so a project moves on a predictable timeline. Building permits here go through City of Albany — a process we know well — and for a custom garage, that shapes the foundation, setbacks, and whether a detached shop or an attached garage fits the lot.

Locally, Albany is known for Willamette & Calapooia Rivers confluence, 100+ Victorian-era buildings, I-5/US-20 hub, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.
