What a full home renovation project looks like here
Saint-Émile sits between Loretteville and Lac-Saint-Charles, with the southern half inside the Lac Saint-Charles drinking-water-reservoir RCI buffer — new septic systems are forbidden within 100 m of the lake.
Several 1960s-80s cottages here were built as seasonal lake-access cabins and have since been converted to year-round single-family — these conversions need new full-depth foundations and Section 9.36 envelope upgrades.
The quartier qualifies for both Rénoclimat and the Ville's heat-pump tax-credit program on most stock; combined incentives recover 30-40% of mechanical-upgrade cost.

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.
