Over 40 Years Building
Built for Homeowners and Property Managers with New Construction and Complete Gut Outs Done Right
Lasting Quality
Reduced Headaches
True Craftsmanship
You see the outdated layout, the surfaces that no longer work, the space that doesn’t match how you live now. Maybe it’s a cramped kitchen, a worn bathroom, or rooms that need a complete reset.
Waiting only makes it harder. Your home feels less comfortable. Small repairs pile up. And the renovation you’ve been thinking about keeps getting pushed further down the road.
Kellner Construction LLC brings four decades of remodeling expertise to every project, transforming homes and offices across Palm Desert with precision and care. Jeff Kellner earned his California contractor license in 2004 and built a reputation for getting it done right the first time.
We handle new construction, casitas, ADUs, complete gut outs, kitchen and bathroom remodels, flooring installation, home additions, and fire, water, and mold emergency restoration. Each trade receives the same meticulous attention to detail, from soil prep and drainage to the final coat of finish.
As a family-owned company, we show up on time, communicate honestly, and stand behind every square foot. Your home deserves craftsmanship that lasts, and we’re here to deliver it.
We build custom homes from the ground up with structural integrity and precise planning you can count on.
We design and construct accessory dwelling units that add living space, flexibility, and real value to your property.
We expand your living space with room additions that integrate smoothly and function exactly the way you need.
We strip your interior down to bare studs and rebuild with updated systems, modern materials, and lasting quality.
Every room built around how you actually live, with layouts that make sense and finishes that hold up to daily use.
Clean grout lines, level floors, tight corners, and doors that close right the first time and stay that way.
Materials and methods chosen to stand up to weather, traffic, and time without constant callbacks or repairs down the road.
I would highly recommend Kellner Construction. Our home was demo’d down to the studs, remodeled and exceeded our expectations. Jeff was very responsive to any questions or needs we had. We were given a timeframe of completion and were able to move back in on time. I have dealt with contractors before and all I can say is this company nailed it!!! There was someone at the house every weekday until completion, and no shuffling between jobs. The coordination of his crew was superb. If you looking to do a remodel, stop looking now!!! Great communication, crew, on time performance and a pleasure to work with.

Kellner Construction is a top-tier 40 year plus construction company that is well versed on home renovations and more with great knowledge and integrity. Jeff Kellner (Owner) is on the renovation board for the city of Palm Springs. He brings a wealth of knowledge, undying integrity with special care to his clients. He listens and acts accordingly. Definitely “Old School” values, which is rare these days. I’ve owned (2) businesses and worked in upper management most of my life. I research my vendors to where I make my best effort to find the absolute best. This was evident as I worked with Kellner Construction. Truly a 5-star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ company in every way.

We deliver new construction, kitchen and bathroom remodels, casitas, ADUs, flooring, and emergency restoration across the Coachella Valley. Every project respects the climate, local codes, and the way desert conditions treat materials.
Most remodels take two to six weeks depending on scope. Kitchen and bathroom projects often finish faster, while gut-outs or additions need more time for framing and inspections.
