Who We Are
DC Builders is a Portland-based custom home builder with more than 20 years of experience designing and constructing luxury wood-framed homes throughout the West Coast. Our work in California spans coastal communities, desert hideaways, forested retreats, and urban estates—each one designed to reflect the beauty of its surroundings and the lifestyle of its owners.
We pair premium materials with advanced construction techniques to deliver homes that are not only architecturally striking but built to last through California’s varied terrain and climate. From the first design consultation to the final walk-through, we’re committed to making your building experience as seamless and rewarding as the home itself.

Why DC Builders
A custom home is more than a structure—it’s an expression of your lifestyle, your vision, and the land it sits on. At DC Builders, we approach each project with a collaborative spirit and a deep respect for craftsmanship, delivering tailored homes that are as enduring as they are beautiful.
With decades of experience building in California, our team understands the region’s distinct topographies, permitting requirements, and design standards. We also source premium wood products ideal for the California climate, helping your home maintain its beauty and strength over time. The result? A custom home that reflects the essence of California living—crafted by a team that truly understands it.
Our Partnership with DC Structures
For clients looking for a more streamlined path to building, we work in close partnership with our sister company, DC Structures—a leader in pre-engineered building kits made for the West Coast. Their collection of customizable home and barn kits is designed to complement California’s natural beauty and architectural diversity.
Starting with one of their trusted models, we help clients personalize their design and bring it to life with expert framing and finish work on site. It’s a fast, efficient way to build something exceptional—backed by the care and craftsmanship DC Builders is known for.
