What a window & door replacement project looks like here
Old Norwood Park Landmark District (designated 1995) is a rare Chicago landmark district on the northwest side — 187 buildings including pre-Fire (pre-1871) wood-frame houses that are among the oldest surviving structures in the city.
The neighborhood retains a semi-rural street grid from its pre-annexation origins as a separate village (annexed to Chicago in 1893) — curvilinear streets and irregular lot geometries that don't conform to the citywide 25 × 125 ft standard, which complicates standard bungalow-addition plans.
Because Norwood Park sits further from Lake Michigan than most Chicago neighborhoods (~13 mi inland), freeze-thaw cycles are less severe — tuckpointing intervals on brick facades can extend to 30-40 years (vs 12-18 on lakefront stock).

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.
