What a kitchen remodeling project looks like here
Friendship is the late-Victorian residential pocket between Bloomfield and Shadyside, with most stock built between 1880 and 1910.
Queen Anne and Stick-style homes here typically retain original wraparound porches, slate roofs, and stained-glass — the PHLF inventory creates informal review precedent on exterior changes.
Many homes still have original gas-piping converted to natural gas — pressure testing and abandonment scope is standard on a full mechanical remodel.
Pittsburgh kitchens — galley to open-plan conversions, MEP relocations, custom cabinetry — scoped against Pittsburgh PLI + PA HICPA + 2018 IBC on permitted layouts. In Friendship specifically, 1880-1910 queen anne + victorian stick stock means kitchen remodeling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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.
