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 craftsman-style family home, a contemporary ranch, 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.

Our Commitment
At DC Builders, we believe your custom home should feel like a natural extension of who you are—and where you live. That’s why we take the time to understand your goals, walk your property, and build a plan tailored to your lifestyle and location. With over 20 years of experience designing and building in Northern California, we understand the opportunities and challenges that come with building in the Sacramento area—from city permitting to rural access and everything in between. Wherever you’re building, our team is here to deliver an experience that’s smooth, thoughtful, and rooted in craftsmanship.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes—Sacramento is one of California’s fastest-growing regions, offering affordability, outdoor access, and a strong sense of community. Whether you’re building in an urban neighborhood or on rural land just outside the city, Sacramento is a great place to create a home that balances comfort, design, and long-term value.
Absolutely. Many of our Sacramento-area clients build on large lots or agricultural land. We’ll help you assess your property, navigate any zoning or access requirements, and design a home that fits beautifully into the landscape.
Most custom homes in Sacramento take between 12 and 18 months, depending on site conditions, permitting, and design complexity. We help streamline the timeline with a simplified build system that includes pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber. A 3,000 sq. ft. home, for example, typically takes 9–12 months to complete, with 2–3 months for dry-in and another 8–9 weeks for finishing.
