Secondary Dwelling Units (SDUs)

 Secondary Dwellings Units (SDUs), also known as granny flats, mother-in-law units, accessory dwellings and a host of other names, are are additional (smaller) separate living units on existing single family lots. SDUs can take many forms, such as a basement apartment, an apartment over a garage or a backyard cottage, and can provide for affordable, flexible and energy efficient living. They can either be attached to the primary home on the lot or be a separate building.


Separate or Attached

Is the garage of your dreams attached to the house or does is stand-alone? Your choices are attached or detached/stand- alone…each option has new ideas of use. Attached Garages are ideal for staying dry on cold rainy mornings and detached garages allow for the use of loud mechanical equipment any hour of the day. Building a detached garage also offers the ability to hide it from street view.

Traditional or SIP

Red Umbrella builds your garages 2 different method; this depends on the situation, cost of the project and how insulated, green and energy efficient each Garage’s need. In the traditional sense, the materials are delivered to your site and from there we put together the lumber/materials into a fine garage. Another method is using a pre-made product called SIPs- Structural Insulated Panels of which a created and built elsewhere and delivered to your site.

I’ve known and enjoyed working with Bari Swartz for over 20 years. When I bought my house Bari was invaluable in... upgrading the electrical system, installing new heaters, and providing advice and some construction work. More recently he successfully managed the project of installing a new roof on my house. I’ve also watched Bari building a house with a large garage from the ground up and have also seen some remodeling projects he did. I am a completely satisfied client of Bari’s and I wholeheartedly recommend that you contact him for his skills, dedication and professionalism in working on your project.-- Harry Sanders, Eugene, Oregonread more

I have know Bari for over 30 years. During that time I have always found him to be honest with lots of integrity and... follow through. I have often called or visited him with a multitude of construction questions. He explains everything so I can understand and draws pictures with it, goes over all the pros and cons of the options. And will make a recommendation on what he feels is best and why if I ask him. He is easy to work with and all of his work that I have seen is meticulous. He goes out of his way to make sure everything works for everyone. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering having a garage built.read more
