Kitchen remodeling in Lac-Saint-Charles
Lac-Saint-Charles is Ville de Québec's 1960s-1990s lakeside cottages converted to year-round submarket. Lac Saint-Charles is the primary drinking-water reservoir for Québec City and roughly 300,000 residents — the regulatory control intermunicipal (RCI) buffer governs every lot inside the watershed and forbids new septic systems within 100 m of the lake.
What a kitchen remodeling project looks like here
Lac Saint-Charles is the primary drinking-water reservoir for Québec City and roughly 300,000 residents — the regulatory control intermunicipal (RCI) buffer governs every lot inside the watershed and forbids new septic systems within 100 m of the lake.
Properties on the lakeshore are governed by the politique de protection des rives, du littoral et des plaines inondables — any work within 15 m of the high-water mark needs MELCCFP shoreline review (typically 60-90 days).
Many 1960s-90s cottages here were built as seasonal structures on shallow piers and are now being converted to year-round — these conversions almost always require new full-depth foundations and Section 9.36 energy upgrades.

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.
