Full home renovation in Courville
Courville is Ville de Québec's 1900s-1940s riverside cottages submarket. Courville sits on the Saint-Laurent River shoreline with a mix of 1900s-40s riverside cottages and post-WWII single-family — any work within 15 m of the river edge triggers MELCCFP shoreline-protection review and a Ville de Québec arrêté riverain compliance letter.
What a full home renovation project looks like here
Courville sits on the Saint-Laurent River shoreline with a mix of 1900s-40s riverside cottages and post-WWII single-family — any work within 15 m of the river edge triggers MELCCFP shoreline-protection review and a Ville de Québec arrêté riverain compliance letter.
Several 1900s-40s cottages were built on cedar-pile foundations because of the variable shoreline soils — basement-conversion work requires a structural engineer's review of pile-condition before any underpinning.
Courville's lot pattern is a mix of original strip-farm parcels (perpendicular to the river) and 1960s subdivisions — addition envelopes vary block-by-block and most projects benefit from a pre-permit zoning consultation.

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.
