Leaburg Garage-to-Living-Space Conversions

Thinking about a garage conversion in Leaburg? 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. Leaburg’s residential parcels line the McKenzie River canyon on both Highway 126 and the older McKenzie Highway; lots on the canyon floor are deep and narrow, making side-by-side garage additions impractical — tandem or front-facing single-bay designs with ADUs above are the local norm.

Building a garage conversion in Leaburg

Leaburg sits 26 mi east of Eugene on Highway 126. Follows a river corridor, so floodplain mapping and riparian setbacks are real factors we plan around from day one. Building permits here go through Lane County — 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, Leaburg is known for Leaburg Dam and PGE’s McKenzie River hydroelectric canal, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.
