Ask Baily instead of Sweeten + Houzz
Sweeten + Houzz publishes a directory — you still have to call 3–5 contractors, chase quotes, and vet licensing yourself. AskBaily scopes your SoHo project with AI, then routes you to one builder who has already cleared NYC Department of Buildings permit + overlay checks for the mixed pre-war + post-war + new condo your home likely is.
