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 wine country estate, a craftsman cottage, 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 know that building a home in a place like Santa Rosa is about more than structure—it’s about lifestyle, setting, and connection to the land. That’s why we approach every project as a partnership, offering thoughtful design, honest communication, and craftsmanship that reflects the beauty of the region. With over 20 years of experience building in Northern California, we’re well-equipped to navigate everything from fire-wise design to rural permitting to custom estate-level construction. Whether you’re tucked into the vineyards or near downtown, we’re here to build something lasting—and uniquely yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Definitely. With its blend of natural beauty, world-class wine country, and charming neighborhoods, Santa Rosa is a top destination for homeowners looking to build something special. Whether you’re building a weekend retreat or a full-time residence, it’s an incredible place to invest in your vision.
Yes—many of our clients in Sonoma County are building on vineyards, farms, or rural land. We’ll help assess your lot, guide you through any regional building codes or zoning rules, and design a home that maximizes your property’s beauty and value.
Most custom homes in the Santa Rosa area take 12 to 18 months to complete, depending on permitting, wildfire considerations, and design complexity. Our streamlined build system—which includes pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—helps shorten your on-site timeline. A 3,000 sq. ft. home typically takes 9–12 months to build, including 2–3 months for dry-in and another 8–9 weeks for finishing.
