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 vineyard estate, a transitional wine country residence, 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 it truly belongs—both to you and to the land it’s built on.

With over 20 years of experience building luxury custom homes throughout California, including vineyard properties and rural estates, we know how to bring your vision to life with artistry and precision. Whether you’re creating a weekend escape or a legacy home, we’re here to help you build something extraordinary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Sonoma offers stunning natural surroundings, architectural charm, and a thriving wine country lifestyle that makes it ideal for custom homes—whether you’re building a full-time residence or a weekend retreat.
Yes—we frequently work with clients building on large parcels, including vineyard-adjacent and agriculturally zoned properties. Our team can help you evaluate your land, work through zoning and site planning, and design a home that’s built to suit your lifestyle and location.
Most custom homes in Sonoma take 12 to 18 months from design to completion. With our simplified build system—including pre-cut and pre-drilled framing lumber—we’re able to accelerate construction timelines without compromising quality. A 3,000 sq. ft. home typically takes 9–12 months to build, with 2–3 months for dry-in and another 8–9 weeks for finishing.
