Roofing in Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant is City of Vancouver's 1900s-1930s craftsman + edwardian wood-frame houses on the slope; 1990s-2010s low-rise strata along main street + cambie corridor submarket. Mount Pleasant sits on the slope between False Creek and the Cambie Heights ridge, and the grade change from Main Street up to 16th Avenue is roughly 60 metres over 10 blocks — Craftsman houses on the slope frequently have stepped foundations on cribbed posts that fail modern seismic review, and any structural alteration above 25% replacement triggers BCBC 4.1.8 retrofit scope.

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.
