What a garage conversion project looks like here

Westside Atlanta has seen the most aggressive post-2010 redevelopment — the Westside Park + Beltline Westside Trail catalyzed 2015-2025 gentrification.

Because there's no comprehensive Landmark District, tear-down-replacement is permitted.

Historic Black neighborhood fabric faces significant displacement pressure.

Atlanta R-5 allows garage-to-ADU conversions — Office of Buildings residential permit; UDC review on Landmark parcels. In Westside Atlanta specifically, shotgun cottage stock means garage conversion scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Atlanta scoping flow factors no comprehensive landmark district and westside park beltline development into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

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.
