What a kitchen remodeling project looks like here

Fineview sits on the hillside above the Mexican War Streets, with most parcels on cut-and-fill terraces above 25 percent grade.

Section 902 geotechnical review is required on virtually every addition or foundation project here.

Original brick and frame stock dating to 1880-1920 typically has rubble-stone foundations that need underpinning when remodels add load.

Pittsburgh kitchens — galley to open-plan conversions, MEP relocations, custom cabinetry — scoped against Pittsburgh PLI + PA HICPA + 2018 IBC on permitted layouts. In Fineview specifically, 1880-1920 brick singles + frame double on hillside terraces stock means kitchen remodeling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Pittsburgh scoping flow factors pittsburgh steep slope overlay and pittsburgh code section 902 geotechnical review into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

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.
