A hands-on general contractor, working one-on-one with every client.
Sunterra Builders was founded in June 2007 and works throughout the Coachella Valley on custom residential construction, remodeling and additions, outdoor living and commercial construction.
We are not an architecture firm. We partner and coordinate with local architects, designers and trade partners to carry each client's creative vision through construction.
About Darrin CoffinBusinesses we build for
Hotels, restaurants and offices run on a different clock than a house. The work has to fit around service, staff and a date the owner has already told people about.

- Steve S.★★★★★We chose Sunterra to do our major home remodel in Palm Desert because of Darrin's approach - we trusted him with our project because he came across to us as being very honest, even tempered and very responsive. All of these important qualities we saw in Darrin before we chose him, turned out to be true during the entire process. His pricing was very competitive with the other two contractors we quoted. We did keep the scope in line for the most part, but at no time during the project did he bring up a price increase for any reason. We were elated with the quality of work he and his team did for us. We routinely get compliments on his work and always recommend him anytime we talk to others about their remodeling project.Read on Google →

- Molly Sauter★★★★★Darrin and his team did a fantastic job turning our previous office closet into a guest bathroom in our Palm Desert home. We were not local during the remodel and Darrin did a great job communicating with us on the progress and always keeping us in the loop.Read on Google →
- traynorz★★★★★Darrin saved the day! We bought a home that needed some repair before my mother could move into it. Our realtor suggested we use their contractor. Well, after ever inflating estimates and months of lost time, we finally found SunTerra Builders. Darrin and his team hopped in, right away, to handle landscaping and external repairs that were needed. Then, with patience and expertise, he helped us arrive at elegant and economical solutions to our interior issues: Bathroom make-overs, Painting, Flooring, Appliace changovers and some structural redesign work. At every point in the process, Darrin was available and communicative. If in the Coachella Valley, take the time and get his estimate.Read on Houzz →
- Jam★★★★★Sunterra has done several projects for our residence in Bermuda Dunes. A bathroom remodel, addition of a laundry room, and a backyard remodel that included addition of a patio and garage, a barbecue, pool remodel, and sport court. All contractors were skilled and did high quality work. Darrin has broad knowledge of building and styles, and has many helpful ideas. Darrin is a stickler for cleanliness and making sure the customer is happy. We would not hesitate to use Sunterra for our next project.Read on Houzz →
