What a fire damage restoration project looks like here

Santee sits at the confluence of the San Diego River and Sycamore Canyon and incorporated in 1980 to direct its own land-use future.

Because much of the southern half of the city is mapped FEMA AE on the San Diego River channel, elevation certificates apply to parcels south of Mast Boulevard.

The 1990s-2000s Carlton Hills and Sky Ranch master plans added more than 4,000 homes and remain the youngest residential tracts in East County.

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.
