Your Elko Barndominium Builder

Serving Clients in Northeastern Nevada Since 2002

Located in the heart of Nevada ranch country, Elko is a place where tradition meets self-sufficiency. Surrounded by rolling plains, high desert, and snowcapped peaks, this remote region is ideal for building a custom barndominium that can stand up to the elements while embracing your vision for rural living. At DC Builders, we specialize in wood-framed barndominiums that combine rugged durability with fully customizable design—perfect for homesteads, equestrian estates, and live/work setups across Elko County.
