Corvallis Home Addition Builder
Home Additions — built by Eugene’s garage & ADU master craftsman, serving Corvallis since 1969.
Thinking about a home addition in Corvallis? A seamless addition adds the room you need without the cost and upheaval of moving — and Red Umbrella has been building garages, ADUs, and additions across Benton County since 1969. Corvallis ADU demand runs high because of OSU’s off-campus housing crunch — the city’s permitting office processes more ADU applications than most Oregon cities its size, and we know the workflow.
Building a home addition in Corvallis
Corvallis sits 47 mi north of Eugene via I-5 & OR-34. Sits on the Willamette Valley floor with established neighborhoods and city-run permitting, so a project moves on a predictable timeline. Building permits here go through City of Corvallis — a process we know well — and for a home addition, that shapes how the new space ties into existing rooflines, the foundation, and the permit path.
Locally, Corvallis is known for Oregon State University campus, Willamette River, Mary’s River, strong bicycle culture, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.

Corvallis home addition questions
Can Red Umbrella match my existing home’s exterior when adding an addition?
Yes — matching the existing home’s siding, roofing, trim, and window style is a standard part of every Red Umbrella addition project. Bari Swartz inspects the existing materials during the consultation and sources compatible products, including discontinued styles when necessary. The goal is an addition that looks like it was always part of the original home.
Is an ORS Chapter 87 lien notice required for my project?
Yes — Oregon law requires licensed contractors to deliver an “Information Notice to Owner About Construction Liens” before starting any improvement to residential property under ORS 87.093. This protects homeowners by disclosing that subcontractors and suppliers may have lien rights even when the general contractor is paid in full. Red Umbrella includes this notice in every contract packet.
Does Red Umbrella require a large deposit upfront?
Red Umbrella’s payment schedule is outlined in the written contract before work begins, typically structured around project milestones rather than a single large upfront payment. Oregon law limits contractor deposits on residential projects, and Red Umbrella follows those rules. Your contract will show exactly when each payment is due relative to construction progress.
