Custom Garage Builder in Westfir, Oregon

Thinking about a custom garage in Westfir? 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. With the Aufderheide and the Middle Fork trails at the door, a Westfir garage often needs to hold bikes, rafts and a truck, plus a workbench and good lighting.

Building a custom garage in Westfir

Westfir sits about 36 miles southeast of Eugene as the crow flies, just off Highway 58 near Oakridge, where the North Fork joins the Middle Fork Willamette River. It grew up as a lumber-mill town, so many homes are modest older houses on hillside or river-bench lots where drainage and slope shape the plan. Westfir is an incorporated city, but 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, Westfir is known for the Office Covered Bridge, the longest covered bridge in Oregon, and the start of the Aufderheide Scenic Byway, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.

• Building since 1969 — you work directly with Bari, not a sales rep or a rotating cast of subs.
