What a bathroom remodeling project looks like here

Lower Haight survived the 1906 fire — the 1880-1905 Italianate + Stick Victorian stock on Haight + Page streets is among SF's most intact pre-fire residential fabric.

Because the neighborhood is rent-control-dense (most pre-1979 multi-unit), eviction-protection and alteration-vs-displacement Planning §317 review is routine on multi-unit projects.

Lath-and-plaster on pre-1905 stock drives substantial demo on any kitchen/bath relocation.

Pre-1925 cast-iron drain replacement, ornamental-plaster ceiling preservation, post-1995 condo riser-stack coordination — SFDBI residential on layout change. In Lower Haight specifically, italianate + stick victorian (1880-1905) stock means bathroom remodeling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's San Francisco scoping flow factors pre-1906 victorian stock and sf §311 neighbor notification 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.
