Your Carson City Custom Home Builder

Serving Clients in Western Nevada Since 2002

Set against the Sierra Nevada mountains and just a short drive from Lake Tahoe, Carson City offers a peaceful and scenic setting for building a custom home. Whether you’re looking to create a modern residence with mountain views, a rustic estate on acreage, or a quiet retreat near the historic heart of town, Carson City provides the ideal backdrop for a home that’s uniquely yours. At DC Builders, we specialize in crafting custom homes that reflect the surrounding landscape and the lifestyle of each client. If you’re planning to build in Carson City or nearby communities, our team is here to make the process smooth, collaborative, and rewarding from start to finish.

What We Do

At DC Builders, we manage every phase of your custom home project under one roof—from architectural design and structural engineering to interior design, framing, and general contracting. This fully integrated approach ensures better communication, faster timelines, and a home that’s cohesive in both function and style.

We’re known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, but every home we build is 100% custom. Whether your vision leans mountain-modern, rustic-chic, or somewhere in between, we’ll work with you to design and build a home that suits your land, goals, and aesthetic. We also partner with our sister company, DC Structures, to offer pre-engineered building kits for those looking to simplify their build process without compromising on quality.
