Custom Garage Builder in Noti, Oregon
Custom Garage — built by Eugene’s garage & ADU master craftsman, serving Noti since 1969.
Thinking about a custom garage in Noti? A custom garage means covered parking, a real workshop, RV storage, or an apartment above — and Red Umbrella has been building garages, ADUs, and additions across Lane County since 1969. Noti sits at the transition between the Willamette Valley and the Coast Range, where lots tend to be hilly and wooded; garage additions often require tree removal permits through Lane County and a site plan that addresses cut-and-fill on slopes steeper than 15 percent.
Building a custom garage in Noti
Noti sits 22 mi west of Eugene on Highway 126 in the Coast Range foothills. Is rural and largely unincorporated, which usually means county-level permitting, septic siting, and room for larger shops and outbuildings. Building permits here go through Lane County — a process we know well — and for a custom garage, that shapes the foundation, setbacks, and whether a detached shop or an attached garage fits the lot.
Locally, Noti is known for the Long Tom River headwaters and the Coast Range foothills on Highway 126, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.

Noti custom garage questions
Can Red Umbrella add electrical to a garage in Noti?
Yes — owner Bari Swartz holds an Oregon Supervisory Master Electrician license, so Red Umbrella can design and install garage electrical panels, circuits, lighting, outlets, and EV charger rough-ins without subcontracting the electrical work. This keeps scheduling tighter and accountability clear on every project.
What is the City of Noti Development Services and what role does it play?
City of Noti Development Services is the department that reviews building permit applications, issues permits, and conducts construction inspections for all projects within Noti city limits. For ADUs, garages, and additions, Development Services checks plans for zoning compliance, structural adequacy, energy code, and life-safety requirements before issuing a permit. Red Umbrella submits plans directly to Development Services and responds to any plan-check comments on your behalf.
How do ADU rental returns compare to the cost of construction in Noti?
Noti arean ADUs commonly rent for $1,200–$2,000 per month depending on size, location, and finishes, which can generate $14,000–$24,000 per year in gross rental income. At those rates, a $60,000 garage-conversion ADU can recoup its full cost within 3–5 years in rental income alone. Red Umbrella does not guarantee rental rates, but can connect you with local property managers who know the Noti market.
