Because most stock is pre-1925, lath-and-plaster interior assemblies and pre-modern MEP commonly drive substantial wall demolition on remodels.
Mandatory Soft-Story Retrofit on pre-1978 3+ unit buildings is a common scope addition — most corner-building retrofits add a steel cantilever frame at the ground-floor garage.
Vertical-grain Douglas fir refinishing (pre-1925 stock), engineered wood, tile — original-pattern preservation on Victorian + Edwardian floors. In Panhandle specifically, edwardian flat (1906-1925) stock means flooring scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's San Francisco scoping flow factors pre-1925 stock and sf §311 neighbor notification into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

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.
Questions LA homeowners actually ask
Panhandle flooring projects typically run $12K–$95K. Panhandle's edwardian flat (1906-1925) stock, combined with pre-1925 stock — edwardian post-fire reconstruction, puts most mid-complexity projects in the $54K range. Baily scopes the exact band once you describe the work.
