What We Do
At DC Builders, we specialize in creating custom homes tailored to your vision and needs. Whether you’re envisioning a contemporary residence in Gresham’s bustling neighborhoods or a serene retreat nestled in the surrounding landscapes, our comprehensive services cover every aspect of the construction process. From architectural design and structural engineering to interior design, framing, and general contracting, our integrated approach ensures a seamless and collaborative experience from concept to completion.
Our reputation is built on delivering high-quality homes that stand the test of time. While we are renowned for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, we tailor each project to align with your aesthetic preferences and functional needs. For those seeking a more streamlined building process, we collaborate with our sister company, DC Structures, to offer customizable pre-engineered building kits. These kits provide a faster path to construction without compromising on quality or customization.
