Room Additions & Suites in Albany, OR
Home Additions — built by Eugene’s garage & ADU master craftsman, serving Albany since 1969.
Thinking about a home addition in Albany? A seamless addition adds the room you need without the cost and upheaval of moving — and Red Umbrella has been building garages, ADUs, and additions across Linn County since 1969. Albany’s historic Victorian streetscape means additions must respect design-review standards that don’t apply anywhere else in Linn County — we navigate that process routinely.
Building a home addition in Albany
Albany sits 26 mi north of Eugene via I-5. 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 Albany — a process we know well — and for a home addition, that shapes how the new space ties into existing rooflines, the foundation, and the permit path.
Locally, Albany is known for Willamette & Calapooia Rivers confluence, 100+ Victorian-era buildings, I-5/US-20 hub, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.

Albany home addition questions
What home additions does Red Umbrella build in Albany?
Red Umbrella builds room additions, master suite additions, kitchen expansions, family-room additions, covered porches, and full second-story additions throughout Lane, Linn, Benton, and Douglas counties. Every addition is designed to match the existing home’s roofline, exterior materials, and interior finishes so the project looks original rather than tacked-on. Bari Swartz personally reviews each project plan before construction begins.
What counties does Red Umbrella serve?
Red Umbrella serves Lane, Linn, Benton, and Douglas counties in Oregon, with the majority of projects in the Albany–Springfield metro area. Projects in outlying areas of those counties are considered on a case-by-case basis during the free consultation. Call (541) 515-3843 or request a consultation at the website to confirm service to your address.
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.
