Florence Garage-to-Living-Space Conversions

Thinking about a garage conversion in Florence? A garage conversion is the fastest, most affordable way to add finished living space — and Red Umbrella has been building garages, ADUs, and additions across Lane County since 1969. Coastal moisture and salt air make Florence builds material-intensive — locals favor fiber-cement siding and pressure-treated framing in garages — and the city’s relatively compact footprint means many in-town lots are tight, so ADUs above garages are the preferred density solution.

Building a garage conversion in Florence

Florence sits 60 mi west of Eugene on Highway 126 at the Pacific coast. Is on the coast, where salt air, sand, and dune-and-estuary overlays demand a tighter, corrosion-aware build. Building permits here go through City of Florence — a process we know well — and for a garage conversion, that shapes insulation, egress, and whether the existing slab and walls can carry a full living space.

Locally, Florence is known for the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area and the Siuslaw River Bay, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.
