What We Do
At DC Builders, we specialize in custom residential construction that’s anything but one-size-fits-all. From the first sketch to the final walk-through, we handle every aspect of the building process under one roof—including design, structural engineering, interior design, framing and installation, and general contracting. That means a smoother experience for you and a finished home that’s cohesive, intentional, and beautifully built.
We’re best known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, but every home we design is tailored to the client—whether that means a Mediterranean-style villa, a barn-inspired estate, or something entirely original. For clients interested in pre-engineered building kits, we also work closely with our sister company, DC Structures, to design and construct custom homes based on their signature line of prefab models.

Our Commitment
At DC Builders, we believe that the best homes are built on more than just solid foundations—they’re built on trust, creativity, and a shared vision. In a region like Paso Robles, where the landscape is part of the lifestyle, that means designing homes that feel intentional, enduring, and deeply connected to the land. With over 20 years of experience building custom homes in California’s wine country and rural communities, we know how to navigate large properties, zoning requirements, and complex builds with ease. Whether you’re planning your forever home or a second residence, we’re here to make the experience as seamless and enjoyable as the final result.
