A Thermal remodeling contractor that designs and builds
Thermal, at the eastern end of the Coachella Valley, has become one of the desert's most distinctive luxury markets, with private motorsport residences at The Thermal Club alongside larger estate and equestrian properties. Homes here are often built around a lifestyle, with garages, guest quarters and outdoor spaces that matter as much as the main living areas.
Level 7 Design & Build plans and builds those projects as one team, with design, permits and construction under a single contract and Greg Young accountable throughout.

Remodeling Thermal estates and club residences
We remodel homes in Thermal, including residences at The Thermal Club and estate properties across the area. Projects often include showcase garages, entertaining spaces, guest casitas and outdoor living built around pools and mountain views.
Because many Thermal properties sit on larger lots, we also plan for site work, utilities and access early, so the design and budget reflect the full scope from the start.
Built for the eastern valley climate
Heat and sun
Summer temperatures above 110 degrees change how a remodel should be designed. We specify high-performance glass, insulation, shading and properly sized HVAC so new spaces stay comfortable and efficient.
Materials that last
Strong UV, wind-blown sand and hard water are tough on finishes. We choose surfaces, fixtures and exterior materials that age well in the Coachella Valley climate.
Indoor-outdoor living
Large sliding and pocket doors, covered patios and outdoor kitchens let you use the home the way Palm Springs is meant to be lived in, most of the year.
Energy code ready
California's Title 24 energy standards apply to most remodels. We design to meet them from the start, so inspections and approvals stay on schedule.
Riverside County permits and club approvals, handled
Thermal is an unincorporated community, so building permits come from Riverside County rather than a city, and homes in private communities such as The Thermal Club also need approval from the community's architectural review.
We prepare the drawings, submit to the county and the community, and manage inspections, so approvals move forward without you coordinating them.
MEET YOUR DESIGNER AND BUILDER
“Your home should rise up to greet you. At the end of the day, it should ground you in a sense of peace.”
Greg Young has led Level 7 as both designer and general contractor for more than 25 years. Before homes, he worked in theatrical design, and that eye for space, light and drama still shapes every project.
He stays hands-on from the first conversation to the final walkthrough, so the person who designs your remodel is the person accountable for building it.

One team means fewer handoffs, fewer surprises and one person accountable.
THE TRADITIONAL WAY
Hire an architect, then an interior designer, then bid the drawings out to contractors.
Budgets get set before anyone who builds has priced the design.
When something goes wrong, three firms point at each other.
THE LEVEL 7 WAY
Design studio and construction team under one roof, on one contract.
Your design is priced as it is drawn, so budget decisions happen before construction, not during it.
One point of contact coordinates every trade, permit and timeline.
