Bathroom remodeling in West End
West End is Boston's 1960s-70s urban-renewal high-rise residential (charles river park) submarket. The West End was demolished and rebuilt under the Boston Redevelopment Authority's 1958 Charles River Park urban renewal plan — roughly 7,000 pre-1958 units were lost — and the resulting 1960s-70s tower stock operates under a master plan that pre-empts standard Article 80 review but caps interior-renovation scope to original tower envelopes.

The West End was demolished and rebuilt under the Boston Redevelopment Authority's 1958 Charles River Park urban renewal plan — roughly 7,000 pre-1958 units were lost — and the resulting 1960s-70s tower stock operates under a master plan that pre-empts standard Article 80 review but caps interior-renovation scope to original tower envelopes.
Because the Charles River Park towers were constructed under late-1950s Massachusetts code (pre-780 CMR), kitchen-renovation projects on these units typically surface non-compliant fire-rating assemblies between units that must be brought into 780 CMR §722 compliance before the new permit clears — a $6K-$18K adder on a typical kitchen scope.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
