CLOSED: An odd inchworm/caterpillar

Coos Bay, OR(Zone 9a)

There's nothing really outstanding about these little guys... they have been showing up on the side of our home lately and are about as long (or less) as a dime, quite small. They are brownish grey in color and have one odd habit: they pull around dirt coils and stick them to the side of our home. The dirt coils look perfectly made, almost like a small snail shell, but yknow, made of clay and dirt.

What are these littles guys, anyone know? Sorry for the lack of picture but I figured their odd habit might stand out enough c:

Also, are they bad pests for plants? I haven't seen them on any, but always a good thing to know~
