What a bathroom remodeling project looks like here

Alkali Flat is one of the oldest residential neighborhoods in California, platted in the 1850s on the alluvial flat north of the Capitol.

Most stock dates to 1870-1900 cottage and Victorian on shallow brick or stone footings, frequently requiring foundation underpinning on full remodels.

The original alkaline soils give the neighborhood its name and routinely surface as expansive-clay engineering items.

Sacramento bathrooms — primary suite expansion, walk-in shower conversions, accessible-design ADA paths — Sacramento RBPD + CSLB + Title 24 / CalGreen permitted on layout change. In Alkali Flat specifically, victorian (1870-1900) stock means bathroom remodeling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Sacramento scoping flow factors preservation commission review on contributing parcels and title 24 + calgreen energy retrofits 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.
