Your Ketchum Barndominium Builder

Serving Clients in the Sun Valley Region Since 2002

Tucked into the Wood River Valley and just minutes from Sun Valley Resort, Ketchum is known for its mountain views, creative spirit, and year-round outdoor adventure. It’s also a prime location for a one-of-a-kind barndominium. Whether you’re dreaming of a stylish ski getaway, a rustic-chic retreat, or a barndo with space for work and play, DC Builders offers the design expertise and mountain-ready performance to bring your vision to life. Our custom wood-framed barndominiums are made to thrive in Ketchum’s alpine climate—with durability, beauty, and flexibility built into every design.

What We Do

DC Builders is a nationwide design-build firm with a passion for crafting barndominiums that reflect both the land and the lifestyle of their owners. We manage every phase in-house—from custom design and engineering to framing, interior design, and project management—ensuring a smooth and rewarding building experience from start to finish.

We also partner with our sister company, DC Structures, to offer customizable barndominium kits. These pre-engineered models are ideal for mountain lots and rural parcels throughout Blaine County and can be tailored to your layout, style, and budget.
