Built here. Been here. Building it right.

There is no shortage of contractors in the Willamette Valley — garage builders, ADU specialists, general remodelers, design-build firms with polished websites. What is harder to find is a shop that has been building in this trade, by hand and to code in Lane County, for more than fifty years, and that still puts the owner on your project from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.

That is Red Umbrella. Here is the honest difference, before you make a decision this permanent.

The typical specialist vs. the Red Umbrella approach

• ADU-only or garage-only? Most contractors pick one. Want a detached garage with a studio above it, or a backyard ADU beside a new garage? You often end up splitting the project — and your trust — between two firms. Red Umbrella was built to do both, under one contract and one crew.
• Electrical subcontracted out? On most jobs the GC schedules an electrician as a sub — a separate calendar and an extra handoff at inspection. Red Umbrella has a Supervisory Master Electrician in-house — owner Bari Swartz wires it himself, to code.
• Meeting a sales rep? Many firms have a closer who signs you and a project manager who takes over. With Red Umbrella you work directly with Bari — the same person who bids your job is accountable for building it.
• Founded in the last ten years? The ADU boom brought a wave of new operators. Bari has been in the trades since 1969 — fifty-plus years of knowing how buildings actually go together and last.
• Learning your permit office on the fly? Eugene’s pre-approved ADU programs and Lane County’s rural rules are a known landscape for us, not a learning curve.
• Assuming you have financing? We can connect you with up to 120% financing — so the equity you have built doesn’t keep a good project on hold.

Your garage or ADU will be on your property for decades. It deserves to be built by someone who was here before the ADU boom — and will still be here after it.
