Westfir ADU Builder

Thinking about an ADU in Westfir? A backyard ADU adds rental income, room for family, and lasting property value — and Red Umbrella has been building garages, ADUs, and additions across Lane County since 1969. Westfir is Lane County’s smallest incorporated city — a former timber town with roughly 200 residents — where lots are generous and the city permit process is straightforward but infrequently exercised, so builders should plan extra lead time for inspections scheduled around the building official’s part-time hours.

Building an ADU in Westfir

Westfir sits 38 mi southeast of Eugene off Highway 58. 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 Westfir — a process we know well — and for an ADU, that shapes how utilities connect and whether a detached cottage or an attached unit fits best.

Locally, Westfir is known for the North Fork Middle Fork Willamette River and the Office Bridge covered bridge, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.
