Myrtle Creek Garage-to-Living-Space Conversions

Thinking about a garage conversion in Myrtle Creek? A garage conversion is the fastest, most affordable way to add finished living space — and Red Umbrella has been building garages, ADUs, and additions across Douglas County since 1969. Myrtle Creek’s South Umpqua River frontage is gorgeous but puts riparian setbacks in play — we site garages and ADUs to stay clear of those buffers while still making the most of the river views.

Building a garage conversion in Myrtle Creek

Myrtle Creek sits 93 mi south of Eugene via I-5. Follows a river corridor, so floodplain mapping and riparian setbacks are real factors we plan around from day one. Building permits here go through City of Myrtle Creek — a process we know well — and for a garage conversion, that shapes insulation, egress, and whether the existing slab and walls can carry a full living space.

Locally, Myrtle Creek is known for South Umpqua River, Scott-Applegate Trail remnant, shortest covered bridge in Oregon, pioneer grist-mill site, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.
