Your Wenatchee Custom Home Builder

Serving Clients in Central Washington Since 2002

Known as the “Apple Capital of the World” and nestled between the Columbia River and Cascade foothills, Wenatchee offers one of the most picturesque and livable settings in Central Washington. Whether you’re building a rustic-modern home with mountain views, a custom retreat near the river, or a timeless residence on acreage just outside the city, Wenatchee provides the space, scenery, and community to bring your dream home to life. At DC Builders, we specialize in designing and constructing custom homes that feel connected to their setting and tailored to our clients’ goals. If you’re planning to build in Wenatchee or surrounding Chelan County, we’re here to help every step of the way.

What We Do

At DC Builders, we manage every phase of the custom homebuilding process in-house—from initial design and engineering to interior selections, framing, and general contracting. This all-in-one approach ensures clear communication, creative flexibility, and a seamless experience from start to finish.

While we’re known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, every home we build is fully custom—designed around the land, the lifestyle, and the look you’re after. Whether you’re drawn to Northwest modern aesthetics, traditional mountain styles, or something entirely unique, we’ll create a space that reflects your personality and vision. For those interested in a faster path to construction, we also offer customizable pre-engineered home kits through our sister company, DC Structures.
