Crabtree Home Addition Builder
Home Additions — built by Eugene’s garage & ADU master craftsman, serving Crabtree since 1969.
Thinking about a home addition in Crabtree? 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 Linn County since 1969. Crabtree is an unincorporated CDP where every permit flows through the Linn County office in Albany — a straightforward process for the open farm lots that characterize this quiet creek-side community.
Building a home addition in Crabtree
Crabtree sits 40 mi north-northeast of Eugene via I-5 & local roads. 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 Linn County — 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, Crabtree is known for Crabtree Creek (named for 1845 pioneer John J. Crabtree), OR-226, historic Southern Pacific depot site, and we tailor every build to fit the lot, the neighborhood, and how you actually live.

Crabtree 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.
What counties does Red Umbrella serve?
Red Umbrella serves Lane, Linn, Benton, and Douglas counties in Oregon, with the majority of projects in the Crabtree–Springfield metro area. Projects in outlying areas of those counties are considered on a case-by-case basis during the free consultation. Call (541) 515-3843 or request a consultation at the website to confirm service to your address.
Can I finance Crabtree system-development charges for an ADU?
Yes — SDCs (which vary by city and county) can be financed through programs like HFS Financial rather than paid out of pocket at permit issuance. Including SDCs in your project loan keeps cash available for other needs and spreads the cost across the loan term. Red Umbrella will help you understand how SDCs fit into your overall project budget.
