Your Monterey Barndominium Builder

Serving Clients on California’s Central Coast Since 2002

With its dramatic coastline, oak-dotted hillsides, and rich agricultural heritage, Monterey offers an idyllic setting for a one-of-a-kind barndominium. Whether you’re building on a scenic vineyard, tucked-away hillside parcel, or spacious rural property, a custom barndominium gives you the flexibility to create a home that’s equal parts stylish and practical. At DC Builders, we specialize in designing and building wood-framed barndominiums that reflect the character, climate, and beauty of California’s Central Coast.
