Miami outdoor living is the primary living space for 8 months of the year. Travertine and large-format porcelain paver patios dominate post-2010 construction; ipe, cumaru, and tigerwood tropical hardwoods handle the UV and salt better than standard pressure-treated. Screen enclosures require HVHZ-rated aluminum frames with tested screen panels.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit for a Miami patio or deck? Ground-level pavers over existing slab: often non-permit. Any elevated deck, roof-covered patio, or screen enclosure requires Miami-Dade (or city) permit with engineered drawings.

Do screen enclosures need HVHZ rating? Yes — Miami-Dade and Broward require HVHZ-rated screen enclosure frames with tested panel attachment.

How much does a Miami patio cost? Travertine paver patio: $18K-$40K. Ipe deck: $25K-$65K. Full screen enclosure with HVHZ frame: $35K-$95K.

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.
