Additions, garage-conversion ADUs, and remodels for Redmond homeowners — built by a Bend-based crew that's 15 minutes up the road.
Building in Redmond
Redmond, Oregon is one of the fastest-growing cities in the state, and it's where a lot of our work has shifted in the last few years. The math is simple: lots in Redmond are larger and more affordable than in Bend, and the housing stock — a core of 1970s–90s ranch homes around the Dry Canyon, ringed by newer subdivisions — leaves plenty of room to add on. For homeowners who bought a solid older house on a generous lot, an addition or a garage-conversion ADU often makes more financial sense than moving.
We're based in Bend, 15 minutes down Highway 97, so Redmond jobs get the same crew, the same schedule discipline, and the same rates as our Bend projects. We've built additions on ranch homes near the canyon, converted oversized garages into rental ADUs, and remodeled kitchens in the newer developments on the city's edges — including projects out at Eagle Crest that went through the resort's design review.
What We Build in Redmond
Redmond's ranch homes were built for a different era — smaller kitchens, fewer bathrooms. Bedroom wings, primary-suite additions, and bump-outs are our most requested Redmond projects, and the larger lots make them straightforward to site.
Oversized garages and big backyards make Redmond one of the best ADU markets in Central Oregon. Garage conversions and detached units for rental income or multi-generational living, permits included.
Kitchen and bathroom updates in 80s and 90s builds, whole-home refreshes on canyon-rim properties, and interior modernization at Eagle Crest. We bring older Redmond homes up to how you actually live.
Redmond Neighborhoods We Serve
Redmond's neighborhoods split roughly by era: established streets around downtown and the Dry Canyon, and the newer subdivisions that have filled in the edges of town since the 2000s. We work in all of them — and in the county pockets just outside city limits.
Just outside town, we also build in Terrebonne and Tumalo along the Highway 97 corridor. Closer to home base? See our Bend service area.
Common Questions
No. Redmond is 15 minutes up Highway 97 from our Bend shop and sits inside our core service area. You pay the same rates a Bend homeowner would.
Properties inside city limits go through the City of Redmond Community Development Department. Properties outside city limits — Eagle Crest, rural parcels toward Cline Falls or Terrebonne — go through Deschutes County. We determine which applies on the first site visit and handle the entire permit process either way.
In most cases, yes. Garage conversions are one of the most common projects we build in Redmond — many of the ranch-style homes near the Dry Canyon have oversized attached or detached garages that convert well. City of Redmond zoning allows ADUs on most residential lots, subject to setback and parking requirements we review up front. See our ADU service page for how the process works.
Yes. Eagle Crest projects run through Deschutes County for permits and through the resort's design review for exterior changes. We've navigated HOA and design-review processes across Central Oregon and build that coordination into the project timeline.
Construction costs are essentially the same — labor and materials don't change between the two cities. Where Redmond wins is the land: lots are larger and more affordable, which is why additions and detached ADUs often pencil out better on a Redmond property. Our cost calculator gives you a realistic starting range either way.
