He was born in Cabo Rojo in 1878. His mother's family were relatives of the outlaw and pirate Roberto Cofresi.

Cofresí began working as a cabinetmaker foreman at the San Juan firm Finlay, Waymouth & Lee. Later on he studied architecture by correspondence, with the International Correspondence School of Chicago, Illinois, completing his studies in 1912.

At least two of his works are listed for their architecture on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
