What We Do
At DC Builders, we specialize in custom residential construction designed to reflect your property, your priorities, and your personal style. Whether you’re building on a wooded lot outside Sherwood or designing a contemporary home in town, our team manages the entire process under one roof—including design, structural engineering, interior design, framing and installation, and general contracting. This full-service approach allows for a more seamless, efficient, and collaborative experience from start to finish.
We’re best known for our high-performance timber frame and hybrid wood structures, but we design every home to suit each client’s vision—whether that means a classic farmhouse, a vineyard-inspired retreat, or something totally unique. For clients seeking a faster path to construction, we also partner with our sister company, DC Structures, to offer fully customizable pre-engineered building kits—delivered with the same craftsmanship and attention to detail we bring to every project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes—our team has extensive experience building on rural properties, including those near vineyards or on sloped terrain. We’ll assess your land early in the process and design a home that works with the natural topography while meeting local zoning and permitting requirements.
From modern farmhouses and timber frame homes to more traditional or transitional styles, we design each home to reflect your personal taste and the character of your lot. Whether you’re surrounded by trees, hills, or neighboring estates, we’ll help you create a home that fits seamlessly into its setting.
Most custom homes in Sherwood take 12 to 18 months, depending on permitting, design complexity, and site conditions. We streamline the process with a simplified build system that includes pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber to reduce time on site. For example, a 3,000 sq. ft. home typically takes 9–12 months to complete, including 2–3 months for dry-in and another 8–9 weeks for finishing.
