Your Missoula Timber Frame Home Builder

Serving Clients in Western Montana Since 2002

Cradled by five mountain ranges and split by the Clark Fork River, Missoula is a city that balances outdoor adventure with a rich arts and university culture. With its forested hills, vibrant neighborhoods, and access to thousands of acres of public land, Missoula offers an incredible setting for a custom timber frame home. Whether you’re building in the South Hills, along the river, or on open land outside town, DC Builders brings the vision and craftsmanship to create a home that’s rooted in Montana’s natural beauty.
