What a new home construction project looks like here

Haight-Ashbury survived the 1906 fire's western containment — the 1880-1905 Queen Anne + Italianate Victorian stock is among SF's densest intact pre-fire fabric.

Because Article 10 individual landmarks (Spreckels Mansion's neighbors) and Article 11 conservation district designations overlap here, exterior alterations face HPC Certificate of Appropriateness review.

Lath-and-plaster + lath-and-burlap interior walls on pre-1905 stock universally drive substantial demo on any kitchen/bath relocation.

From empty lot through CFC — SFDBI permit-aware, §311-noticed, soft-story-compliant, SF Better Roofs aligned, inspection-scheduled. In Haight-Ashbury specifically, italianate + queen anne victorian (1880-1905) stock means new home construction scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's San Francisco scoping flow factors haight-ashbury article 10 + article 11 overlap (portions) and pre-1906 victorian stock 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.
