A hands-on general contractor, working one-on-one with every client in Palm Desert.

Sunterra Builders is a licensed general building contractor based in Palm Desert, working throughout Palm Desert and the greater Coachella Valley on custom residential construction, remodeling and additions, outdoor living and commercial construction.

Working in Palm Desert means knowing its lots, its architecture and its permitting — not treating it as an anonymous dot on a service map. Darrin Coffin has built across the valley since 2007 and stays hands-on from the first walkthrough to the final punch list.

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.

What clients say

“Darrin's candid and professional style convinced us that Sunterra could accomplish our goals. He helped us avoid costly, unnecessary decisions and led us toward our goals with the quality we wanted. Within the month we had a dazzling new kitchen and bathrooms. My family and I highly recommend Sunterra because they will stand by their work!”
