Your Seattle Timber Frame Home Builder

Serving Clients in the Greater Seattle Area Since 2002

Surrounded by towering evergreens, snow-capped mountains, and waterfront views, Seattle offers an extraordinary setting for custom timber frame homes. Known for its innovation, sustainability, and deep appreciation of design, Seattle is the perfect place to build a home that blends timeless craftsmanship with contemporary style. Whether you’re building in the heart of the city, on a wooded lot outside town, or overlooking Puget Sound, our team is here to bring your timber frame vision to life.

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.
