What a kitchen remodeling project looks like here

Middle Hill is the central spine of the historic Hill District, with most surviving stock dating to 1900-1925 brick rowhouses and frame doubles.

Virtually every parcel here exceeds 25 percent slope, so additions and foundation work need Section 902 geotechnical review.

Many properties have rubble-stone foundations on cut-and-fill terraces that need underpinning when remodels add lateral or vertical load.

Pittsburgh kitchens — galley to open-plan conversions, MEP relocations, custom cabinetry — scoped against Pittsburgh PLI + PA HICPA + 2018 IBC on permitted layouts. In Middle Hill specifically, 1900-1925 brick rowhouse + frame double 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.
