What a interior finishing project looks like here
Laurelhurst is Seattle's premier lakefront estate neighborhood — 1920-1970 Tudor + Colonial Revival + Mid-Century Modern with Lake Washington shoreline.
Because lakefront lots fall under the Shoreline Master Program (state + federal Clean Water Act), any water-adjacent construction requires SMA + Corps of Engineers review.
The neighborhood's Lake Washington waterfront dock permits go through a separate WDFW + Corps process — 20-40 weeks.
Drywall, trim, millwork, paint, final-punch — the last 15% that differentiates Craftsman restoration from commodity work. In Laurelhurst specifically, tudor revival stock means interior finishing 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.
