What a exterior design project looks like here

Seaview is a compact West Seattle bluff neighborhood — 1930-1965 stock with Puget Sound views on western-facing parcels.

Because of ECA exposure, geotechnical engineering is required on most projects.

The neighborhood's compact size and view-corridor protection drive slow turnover.

Craftsman facades, Tudor restoration, modern NW exterior reworks — Landmark Board coordination for designated properties. In Seaview specifically, mid-century ranch stock means exterior design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Seattle scoping flow factors eca steep slope + landslide prone and geotechnical report required 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.
