DC Builders was founded in 1983 by Dave Cleary. The owner still shows up on every job site. The philosophy hasn't changed in four decades.
DC Builders was founded in 1983 by Dave Cleary, a Licensed Construction Supervisor who grew up on the Cape and never left. Four decades later, Dave's son Spencer is part of the crew — and the philosophy hasn't changed. The owner shows up. The work is done right. And if something isn't right, we fix it.
We're not a regional franchise or a volume operation. We're a family business that builds in Falmouth, Bourne, Mashpee, and Sandwich — the towns we live in, the neighborhoods we've watched grow.
"I've been doing this for 40 years because I care about it. Every house we build, I'm proud to drive past. That's the standard." — Dave Cleary, Owner

Real reviews from Upper Cape homeowners.
"DC Builders did a fantastic job remodeling our bathroom. They ripped a very outdated bathroom down to the studs and worked with us to design and build a truly beautiful space."
John Furfey"My wife and I couldn't be more thrilled with how our family room addition turned out! Dave and his team communicated with us every step of the process."
Edward Stahowiak"DC Builders transformed our 70's ranch into something special — a kitchen remodel and a year-round sun room addition, all in an open plan with cathedral ceilings. The works!"
