Your Vail Barndominium Builder

Serving Clients in the Colorado High Country Since 2002

Tucked into the heart of the Rockies, Vail is synonymous with luxury, adventure, and awe-inspiring alpine beauty. Whether you’re building a full-time residence or a second home that doubles as a retreat, a custom barndominium offers a smart and stylish way to maximize comfort, space, and performance in this unique mountain setting. At DC Builders, we craft one-of-a-kind wood-framed barndominiums tailored to high-elevation living—homes that are equal parts functional, enduring, and breathtaking.
