Room Additions & Suites in Drain, OR
Home Additions — built by Eugene’s garage & ADU master craftsman, serving Drain since 1969.
Thinking about a home addition in Drain? 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 Douglas County since 1969. Drain is eight miles west of I-5 on the OR-38 coast corridor, giving it a rural pace and a city permit process that moves at the same pace — smaller volume means less queue time than bigger-city offices.
Building a home addition in Drain
Drain sits 39 mi south-southwest of Eugene via I-5 & local roads. Has historic-character streets where design and materials matter, so a build has to fit the period without faking it. Building permits here go through City of Drain — 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, Drain is known for Elk Creek & Pass Creek confluence, OR-38 “Gateway to the Pacific” corridor, founded 1847, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.

Drain home addition questions
What home additions does Red Umbrella build in Drain?
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 is the City of Drain Development Services and what role does it play?
City of Drain Development Services is the department that reviews building permit applications, issues permits, and conducts construction inspections for all projects within Drain city limits. For ADUs, garages, and additions, Development Services checks plans for zoning compliance, structural adequacy, energy code, and life-safety requirements before issuing a permit. Red Umbrella submits plans directly to Development Services and responds to any plan-check comments on your behalf.
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.
