Custom Garages in Springfield, OR
Custom Garage — built by Eugene’s garage & ADU master craftsman, serving Springfield since 1969.
Thinking about a custom garage in Springfield? 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. Springfield’s post-WWII tract lots are typically 6,000–9,000 sq ft with detached garages already platted — owners routinely upgrade single-car garages to two-car with workshop space, and the city’s building department is known for consistent, predictable turnaround.
Building a custom garage in Springfield
Springfield immediately east of Eugene on the Willamette River. 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 Springfield — 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, Springfield is known for Willamalane Park system and the Middle Fork Willamette River, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.

Springfield custom garage questions
What is the minimum setback for a detached garage in Springfield?
In most Springfield residential zones, a detached garage must be set back at least 5 feet from the rear property line and 3 feet from the side property line, though corner lots and specific overlay districts may have different requirements. Red Umbrella reviews your parcel’s zoning and surveys during the free consultation to confirm exact setbacks before any design work begins.
How do I start a garage, ADU, or addition project with Red Umbrella?
The first step is a free on-site consultation with Bari Swartz, during which he evaluates your property, discusses your goals, and outlines realistic options and costs. From there, Red Umbrella prepares a detailed written estimate and, once agreed, handles design, permitting, and construction through final inspection. Call (541) 515-3843 or use the contact form on the website to schedule your free visit.
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.
