What a exterior restoration project looks like here
Don Valley Village backs onto the East Don River + Don Valley parkland — properties bordering the ravine are subject to the Ravine and Natural Feature Protection By-law (Chapter 658) at unusually high density.
Most Don Valley Village stock is mid-century split-level built 1958-1972 on generous lots of 16-22m wide — wider frontage than typical Toronto-East-York stock allows side-passage extensions and double-garage frontages.
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) regulated areas extend into the ravine — TRCA permits are required on any work within the regulated area, adding 4-8 weeks to consent.
Brick repointing, terra-cotta restoration, cedar-sash window reinstatement, slate-roof reinstatement — HCD + Heritage Property compliance on every elevation.

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.
