At DC Builders, we design timber frame homes that perform beautifully in high-desert climates like Reno’s—where summer heat, winter snow, and dramatic elevation changes are all part of the equation. With our turnkey approach and passion for mountain-inspired design, we make it easy to create a home that blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort and durability. From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, our team is here to support and guide you every step of the way.
