Wren Garage-to-Living-Space Conversions

Thinking about a garage conversion in Wren? 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 Benton County since 1969. Wren has a Benton County community plan that shapes allowable land uses — we review those rural-UGB standards before design so your garage or shop doesn’t trigger a variance.

Building a garage conversion in Wren

Wren sits 60 mi northwest of Eugene via I-5 & US-20. 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 Benton 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, Wren is known for Marys River, US-20 & OR-223 junction, established via Oregon Pacific Railroad 1886, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.

• Building since 1969 — you work directly with Bari, not a sales rep or a rotating cast of subs.
