“viable / borderline / unlikely” outcome.
Use it to inform conversations with your town, insurers, and builders.

Most homeowners don’t know whether their property is even a candidate.

We simplify that decision.

Our Pre-Screen App (quietly powered by Bailow.ai) helps you understand your home’s viability before you call a contractor or engineer.

In-person and remote options

Rooted in the South Shore. Built for coastal homeowners.

I live and work right here in Green Harbor, raising my kids on the same shoreline I’m designing to protect. I grew up on an island in Casco Bay, so coastal life isn’t an abstraction for me—it’s my entire frame of reference.

Whether you’re in Marshfield, Duxbury, Scituate, Hull, or anywhere along the South Shore, you’re working with someone who understands tides, storms, and flood maps because they’re part of my daily life, too.

Can’t meet in person? No problem. We can walk through your property, grant questions, and elevation pathways over Zoom, with the same clarity and fixed-fee structure.
