Interior finishing in Sunset

What a interior finishing project looks like here
Sunset is one of Vancouver's most affordable westside-equivalent eastside neighbourhoods, and its 1950s-1980s Vancouver Special stock is highly suited to TC2 secondary-suite legalisation — most Sunset renovation pro-formas now include a 600-900 sqft secondary suite that recovers $1,800-$2,800/month in rental income.
The Vancouver Special's signature dual-entry layout (shared front door splitting upstairs/downstairs) was originally designed for multi-generational ownership, and the 2024 multiplex amendments combined with TC2 + lock-off secondary suites can convert most Sunset Vancouver Specials into 3-4-unit lock-off rentals during a single renovation.

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.
