What We Do
At DC Builders, we specialize in designing and building one-of-a-kind timber frame homes that reflect the spirit of the Pacific Northwest. With our in-house design, engineering, framing, and general contracting teams, we offer a complete design-build experience tailored to your property, goals, and lifestyle.
For clients seeking a more efficient start, we also partner with our sister company, DC Structures, to provide pre-engineered timber frame home kits. These kits can be customized to fit the Seattle area’s unique terrain and design preferences, making it easier to create a home that’s both high-performance and architecturally stunning.
