Your Leavenworth Custom Home Builder

Serving Clients in the North Cascades Region Since 2002

Tucked into the eastern slopes of the Cascades and styled like a Bavarian alpine village, Leavenworth is one of Washington’s most unique and picturesque places to build a custom home. Whether you’re creating a cozy timber-framed cabin, a modern mountain retreat, or a legacy home designed for generations to enjoy, Leavenworth offers the charm, setting, and year-round appeal that make custom homebuilding here especially rewarding. At DC Builders, we specialize in designing and building custom homes that reflect the beauty of their surroundings and the lifestyle goals of each client. If you’re planning to build in Leavenworth or the surrounding Upper Wenatchee Valley, we’re here to make the experience seamless from start to finish.

What We Do

At DC Builders, we manage every aspect of your custom home project under one roof—including design, engineering, interior selections, framing, and general contracting. With a fully integrated team, we provide a streamlined building experience that prioritizes quality, efficiency, and creativity.

While we’re known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures—perfect for mountain homes and rustic-modern designs—every home we build is custom-tailored to the client and their land. Whether you want a traditional alpine-style lodge, a sleek modern home with mountain views, or a Scandinavian-inspired cabin, we’ll help you bring that vision to life with craftsmanship and care. For those looking to simplify the process, we also offer customizable pre-engineered building kits through our sister company, DC Structures.
