Custom Garage Builder in Glide, Oregon
Custom Garage — built by Eugene’s garage & ADU master craftsman, serving Glide since 1969.
Thinking about a custom garage in Glide? 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 Douglas County since 1969. Glide is unincorporated, so permits run through Douglas County in Roseburg — and this North Umpqua canyon community attracts buyers who want a forest-retreat home with a proper garage workshop to match.
Building a custom garage in Glide
Glide sits 92 mi south-southeast of Eugene via I-5 & OR-138. Follows a river corridor, so floodplain mapping and riparian setbacks are real factors we plan around from day one. Building permits here go through Douglas 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, Glide is known for Colliding Rivers (North Umpqua & Little River, Oregon’s only perpendicular river confluence), OR-138, Umpqua National Forest, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.

Glide custom garage questions
What types of garages does Red Umbrella build in Glide?
Red Umbrella builds detached single-car, two-car, and three-car garages as well as attached garages and garage-with-workshop combinations throughout Lane, Linn, Benton, and Douglas counties. Every garage is designed to Glide and county building codes with proper footings, framing, electrical rough-in, and your choice of door, siding, and roofing finishes. A free on-site consultation lets Bari Swartz assess your driveway, setbacks, and HOA requirements before design begins.
Is an ORS Chapter 87 lien notice required for my project?
Yes — Oregon law requires licensed contractors to deliver an “Information Notice to Owner About Construction Liens” before starting any improvement to residential property under ORS 87.093. This protects homeowners by disclosing that subcontractors and suppliers may have lien rights even when the general contractor is paid in full. Red Umbrella includes this notice in every contract packet.
What does “financing up to 120%” mean for a construction project?
Financing up to 120% of project cost means the loan can cover not only the construction contract amount but also an additional 20% to account for incidentals such as permits, system-development charges, landscaping after construction, or minor scope changes. This helps homeowners avoid out-of-pocket surprises during construction. HFS Financial, a lender partner of Red Umbrella, offers this type of product for qualifying borrowers.
