Vida Garage Builder — Shops, RV Bays & More

Thinking about a custom garage in Vida? 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. On Vida’s wooded river lots, a detached garage usually doubles as a shop and dry storage for drift boats, rafts and firewood, with roofing and siding chosen for a forested setting.

Building a custom garage 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 a custom garage, that shapes the foundation, setbacks, and whether a detached shop or an attached garage fits the lot.

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.
• Electrical planned from day one — owner Bari Swartz, formerly a Master Electrical Contractor in several states, plans the wiring with the floor plan.
• Building since 1969 — you work directly with Bari, not a sales rep or a rotating cast of subs.
• Permits handled & up to 120% financing — we know Lane County and make the whole path simple.
