What a flooring project looks like here
University District received Seattle's most aggressive 2017 upzone — 320' tower heights permitted for the first time, transforming what was a low-rise student neighborhood.
Because Urban Center zoning permits high-intensity mixed-use, single-family remodels on residential blocks sit adjacent to post-2015 high-rises — distinctive urban context.
The neighborhood's 1905-1930 Craftsman stock is under continuous redevelopment pressure — original fabric is concentrated on protected residential blocks.
Hardwood refinishing, tile, engineered wood — Craftsman fir / old-growth cedar subfloor assessment. In University District specifically, craftsman (1905-1930) stock means flooring scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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.
