Kitchen Remodeling in Cheshire, Oregon
Kitchen Remodeling — by Eugene’s licensed General Contractor and remodeler (CCB #210412), building since 1969.
Thinking about a kitchen remodel in Cheshire? A kitchen remodel fixes the layout, the storage and the light in the room your family uses most — and Red Umbrella has been building and remodeling homes across Lane County since 1969.
Kitchen Remodeling in Cheshire: how it works
Cheshire sits 22 mi northwest of Eugene on Highway 36. Cheshire sits in the flat Long Tom River valley surrounded by active dairy farms. Building permits here go through Lane County — a process we know well — and for a kitchen remodel that matters the moment a wall moves, the sink or range is relocated or a circuit is added: that work is permitted and inspected, and we handle the whole path.
Locally, Cheshire is known for the Long Tom River valley and Highway 36 dairy corridor, and we tailor every remodel to fit the house, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.
Kitchen Remodeling in Cheshire: what we do
We handle the whole kitchen remodel — structure, plumbing and electrical, tile, cabinets and finish — under one licensed contractor.
- Layout changes & open-plan kitchens
- Custom cabinets, islands, counters & backsplash
- Range, island & lighting circuits wired to code under permit
- Flooring, windows, trim & paint
Why Cheshire homeowners choose Red Umbrella
- Layout, wiring and finish planned together — the cabinet plan, the island circuit and the lighting are designed as one, so nothing is opened up twice.
- Electrical planned from day one — owner Bari Swartz, formerly a Master Electrical Contractor in several states, plans the wiring with the floor plan; it is installed to code by licensed electricians under permit.
- Building since 1969 — you work directly with Bari, not a sales rep or a rotating cast of subs.
- Permits handled & up to 120% financing — we know Lane County and make the whole path simple.
Cheshire kitchen remodel questions
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Cheshire?
Cabinet, counter and flooring swaps generally do not. Moving walls, relocating the sink or range, and adding electrical circuits do, and Lane County inspects that work. Red Umbrella pulls the permits and schedules every inspection for you.
How long does a kitchen remodel in Cheshire take?
A refresh of cabinets, counters and lighting is usually a few weeks; a new layout with moved plumbing and electrical runs longer, plus plan-review time with Lane County when permits are involved. Bari gives you a written schedule along with the scope and price after the free on-site consultation.
Is an ORS Chapter 87 lien notice required for my project?
Yes — Oregon law requires licensed contractors to deliver an “Information Notice to Owner About Construction Liens” before starting any improvement to residential property under ORS 87.093. This protects homeowners by disclosing that subcontractors and suppliers may have lien rights even when the general contractor is paid in full. Red Umbrella includes this notice in every contract packet.
What is HFS Financial and how does it work for home improvements in Oregon?
HFS Financial is a lending marketplace specializing in home-improvement loans, and Red Umbrella is an approved contractor partner. HFS can finance projects up to 120% of the project cost — meaning closing costs and some associated expenses can be rolled in — with loan amounts up to $500,000 and without requiring home equity or a new first mortgage. Loan terms, rates, and approval requirements vary; Red Umbrella can connect you with an HFS representative after your free consultation.
