What a painting project looks like here

West Vancouver operates under the District of West Vancouver Bylaw 4662 + the BC Building Code, not the City of Vancouver's VBBL — and DWV's Tree Protection Bylaw 4892 is significantly stricter than Vancouver's, with mature-canopy preservation triggering geotechnical + arborist reports on most hillside renovations.

Most West Vancouver lots are on slopes between 15% and 40% grade, and the District's Hillside Hazard Area mapping requires a geotechnical engineer's report on most substantial alterations — slope-stability + drainage scope on a West Van renovation routinely runs $85K-$285K, separate from structural + envelope.

Interior, exterior, decorative specialty — lead-safe protocol on pre-1978 stock; rain-window scheduling for exterior work in PNW. In West Vancouver specifically, 1950s-1990s post-war + west coast modern single-family on hillside lots; 2000s+ ultra-high-end custom on waterfront stock means painting scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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.
