Room Additions & Suites in Lyons, OR
Home Additions — built by Eugene’s garage & ADU master craftsman, serving Lyons since 1969.
Thinking about a home addition in Lyons? 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. Lyons sits where the canyon narrows along the North Santiam, meaning sloped lots are common and garage foundations often require engineered cut-and-fill rather than a simple slab.
Building a home addition in Lyons
Lyons sits 65 mi north-northeast of Eugene via I-5 & OR-22. Is up in the foothills, where slope, snow load, and wildfire-resilient construction all come into the plan. Building permits here go through City of Lyons — 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, Lyons is known for North Santiam River, OR-22 North Santiam Highway, Santiam State Forest, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.

Lyons home addition questions
Can Red Umbrella match my existing home’s exterior when adding an addition?
Yes — matching the existing home’s siding, roofing, trim, and window style is a standard part of every Red Umbrella addition project. Bari Swartz inspects the existing materials during the consultation and sources compatible products, including discontinued styles when necessary. The goal is an addition that looks like it was always part of the original home.
What counties does Red Umbrella serve?

How much does it cost to build an ADU or addition, and can I finance it?
Construction costs range from roughly $50,000 for a garage conversion to $230,000 or more for a new detached ADU, depending on size and scope. Red Umbrella works with HFS Financial, which offers financing up to 120% of project cost to cover construction and some soft costs without requiring home equity.
