What We Do
At DC Builders, we specialize in creating custom homes tailored to your vision and needs. Whether you’re envisioning a contemporary residence in one of Hillsboro’s established neighborhoods or a modern farmhouse on the outskirts of the city, our comprehensive services cover every aspect of the construction process. From schematic design and structural engineering to interior design, framing, and general contracting, our integrated approach ensures a seamless and collaborative experience from concept to completion.
Our reputation is built on delivering high-quality homes that stand the test of time. While we are renowned for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, we tailor each project to align with your aesthetic preferences and functional needs. For those seeking a more streamlined building process, we collaborate with our sister company, DC Structures, to offer customizable pre-engineered building kits. These kits provide a faster path to construction without compromising on quality or customization.

We use a streamlined build system with pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber that helps speed up construction. A 3,000 sq. ft. home typically takes 9–12 months to complete, including 2–3 months for dry-in and another 8–9 weeks for finishing.
