What We Do
At DC Builders, we specialize in custom residential construction that’s anything but one-size-fits-all. From the first sketch to the final walk-through, we handle every aspect of the building process under one roof—including design, structural engineering, interior design, framing and installation, and general contracting. That means a smoother experience for you and a finished home that’s cohesive, intentional, and beautifully built.
We’re best known for our timber frame and hybrid wood structures, but every home we design is tailored to the client—whether that means a mountain modern retreat, a rustic lodge, or something completely custom. For clients interested in pre-engineered building kits, we also work closely with our sister company, DC Structures, to design and construct custom homes based on their signature line of prefab models.
