Vaulted living room remodel with a stacked-stone fireplace and dark hardwood floors by Red Umbrella in Eugene, Oregon

Key Takeaways

Red Umbrella remodels whole homes, great rooms, living rooms and open floor plans across Eugene & Lane County.
A licensed General Contractor handles the structural work, permits and inspections — walls can move, ceilings can open up.
Electrical is planned with the floor plan from day one, then wired to code under permit by licensed electricians.
If the remodel needs more room, the same crew builds the addition — one project, one craftsman.

Love Where You Live

Keep the house. Change everything else.

Moving is expensive and the lot, the trees and the neighbors are hard to replace. A well-planned remodel gives you the open plan, the light and the finishes you want in the home you already own — and because Bari has framed, wired and finished houses for more than five decades, the whole job runs through one accountable person.

What We Remodel

Whole-home & multi-room remodels

Kitchens, baths, living areas and bedrooms updated together, so finishes match and the work happens once.

Great rooms, living rooms & open plans

Remove or relocate walls, vault a ceiling, add a fireplace feature wall — the mid-century great rooms in our gallery started here.

Flooring, windows, doors & finish

New or refinished hardwood, tile, larger windows and sliding doors, trim, built-ins and paint.

Structural & exterior updates

Engineered beams, re-siding, decks, porches and storm repair, handled by the same licensed crew.

Why Red Umbrella

A remodel is only as good as the planning.

Structure, wiring and finish, planned together

Because Bari plans the framing and the electrical with the floor plan, nothing gets opened up twice.

Remodel + addition under one roof

Need more square footage as part of the remodel? The same licensed crew designs, permits and builds the addition.

One accountable craftsman

You work directly with Bari from the first walk-through to the final inspection — not a sales rep or a rotating cast of subs.

What it costs

Home remodel pricing

Remodels are priced by scope — refinishing floors and repainting, opening up a great room, and a whole-house update with a new addition are very different projects. A free on-site consultation with Bari gives you an honest, specific number and a written scope — no obligation.

Home Remodeling questions, answered

Should I remodel or add on?

If the rooms you have are the right size but the wrong layout or finish, a remodel is usually the better value. If you are short on square footage, an addition — or a remodel plus a small addition — solves it. Bari walks the house with you and gives a straight answer either way; Red Umbrella builds both.

Do I need a permit for a home remodel in Eugene?

Cosmetic work such as paint, flooring and cabinet swaps generally does not. Moving or removing walls, changing the roof structure, and new electrical or plumbing circuits do, and the City of Eugene (or Lane County outside city limits) inspects that work. Red Umbrella pulls the permits, schedules the inspections and responds to any plan-check questions for you.

Can we live in the house during the remodel?

Usually, yes. Most whole-home remodels are staged room by room so a kitchen or a bathroom stays usable, and dust walls keep the work zone contained. For a full gut remodel Bari will tell you up front if a short move-out makes the job faster and cheaper.

How does Red Umbrella price a remodel?

After the free on-site consultation you get a written scope with the price, not a per-square-foot guess. Up to 120% financing is available through HFS Financial for approved borrowers, so closing costs can be rolled in without touching your home equity.
