Roofing in Ville-Marie
Ville-Marie is Ville-Marie's 1980s-2010s glass concrete towers in quartier international + downtown core; pre-1900 stone + brick commercial-residential along rue saint-jacques + the financial district submarket. Ville-Marie's pre-1900 commercial-residential stone + brick stock along Rue Saint-Jacques + the financial district frequently uses cut-limestone facades and unreinforced masonry party walls — alteration scopes routinely require a structural engineer's letter to the arrondissement before permit issuance, and the Code de construction du Québec Chapter VIII (existing buildings) governs the retrofit triggers.

Ville-Marie's pre-1900 commercial-residential stone + brick stock along Rue Saint-Jacques + the financial district frequently uses cut-limestone facades and unreinforced masonry party walls — alteration scopes routinely require a structural engineer's letter to the arrondissement before permit issuance, and the Code de construction du Québec Chapter VIII (existing buildings) governs the retrofit triggers.
All construction work in Ville-Marie's residential sector falls under the CCQ residential collective agreement, which means hourly rates, overtime, and statutory holidays are fixed by sector — Montréal labour costs on heritage residential work routinely run 25-35% above private-market rates that prevail in non-CCQ provinces.

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.
