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 rustic-modern ranch, a multi-generational family home, or something completely original. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes—Modesto offers a combination of affordability, space, and long-term growth that makes it ideal for custom homebuilding. Whether you’re looking to build near the city or in the surrounding countryside, there’s ample opportunity to create a home that fits your vision and lifestyle.
Absolutely. Many of our clients in the Modesto area are building on rural parcels or agricultural land, and we’re well-versed in helping navigate zoning, access, and utility planning. We’ll evaluate your site early on and design a home that works beautifully with the land.
Most homes in the Modesto area take 12 to 18 months from design to completion. Our simplified build system—which includes pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—helps streamline the construction phase. On average, a 3,000 sq. ft. home takes 9–12 months to finish, with 2–3 months for dry-in and another 8–9 weeks for interior completion.
