Custom Garage Builder in Elmira, Oregon

Thinking about a custom garage in Elmira? 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 Lane County since 1969. Elmira sits on Long Tom River bottomland west of Fern Ridge Reservoir; parcels are flat and often zoned Exclusive Farm Use, which means residential structures must be clearly accessory to the farm operation — a distinction Lane County planners look for when reviewing ADU applications in the area.

Building a custom garage in Elmira

Elmira sits 15 mi northwest of Eugene on Territorial Road. Is surrounded by working farmland where efu zoning and generous setbacks shape what — and where — you can build. Building permits here go through Lane County — 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, Elmira is known for Fern Ridge Reservoir western shore and Long Tom River bottomland, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.
