“A string of bright beads of sunlight, breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.”

— Francis Baily, 1836

Origin

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.

Questions LA homeowners actually ask

Paramount kitchens run $46K-$184K in 2026 — a standard LA submarket running about 2% over the basin median. Cosmetic refreshes land in the lower third, mid-range builds with custom cabinets and quartz hit the middle band, and full luxury jobs in 90723 push to the top of the range. Cabinets eat about 35% of every budget regardless of tier. Baily scopes the exact band once you describe the cooking you actually do.
Cosmetic-only work in 90723 — paint, backsplash, like-for-like appliance swap — skips permit entirely. The moment you relocate plumbing, pull a wall, or upgrade the panel for induction, City of Paramount needs a plan check. In Paramount, cosmetic-only work skips permit, but plumbing relocation, electrical upgrades, or wall removal trigger the city's own plan check running 2-4 weeks. Most full remodels here trigger plan check because layouts almost always open up.
Title 24 2025 sets CFM by kitchen square footage and the hood must duct to exterior — recirculating hoods do not meet code, no exceptions. A typical 90723 kitchen needs 280 CFM ducted for gas, 110 CFM electric, max 3 sones. If the existing duct run is longer than 25 ft or turns two 90-degree elbows, effective CFM drops and an inline booster fan gets specified. Title 24 also requires 50% of lighting wattage be JA8-compliant with CRI>=90.
Most older Paramount homes sit on 100A service. A 36-inch induction range pulls 40-50A alone, so the upgrade to 200A is almost always triggered — $2,000-$7,500 with a City of Paramount permit. The upside: LADWP and CalHFA stack rebates up to $14K for gas-to-induction in a panel-upgrade kitchen, which sometimes pays for the service upgrade outright. Baily checks rebate stacking when it scopes your 90723 job.
Yes, if the kitchen work needs a plumbing permit. California's pre-1994 low-flow trigger forces whole-house fixture replacement — every toilet, showerhead, and faucet — to current efficiency standards. Most 90723 homes from the 1950s-70s get caught. Budget $3K-$8K on top of kitchen scope. You can pre-empt the surprise by replacing fixtures before pulling the kitchen permit, which keeps the trigger from compounding with cabinet lead times.
