What a full home renovation project looks like here

Presidio Heights wraps the Presidio National Park's southeast edge — 1900-1935 Tudor Revival + Mediterranean stock with deep front setbacks atypical for SF.

Because Presidio Terrace is one of two private streets in SF, gated parcels face an additional homeowners-association architectural review on top of SFDBI permit.

The neighborhood's deeper lots (0.1-0.3 acres vs SF average 0.05) provide more rear-yard addition flexibility than denser SF neighborhoods.

Pacific Heights Edwardian guts, Mission Victorian flat conversion, Marina soft-story-with-remodel — one SFDBI residential permit + SF Planning §311 neighbor notification. In Presidio Heights specifically, tudor revival stock means full home renovation scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's San Francisco scoping flow factors presidio terrace + walnut street architectural character and sf §311 neighbor notification on rear additions 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.
