What a garage conversion project looks like here
Rosewood is Austin's historic African-American neighborhood — 1895-1935 fabric remains significant despite substantial post-2010 gentrification pressure.
Because of post-2010 appreciation, many long-term residents have been displaced — a distinctive urban-renewal dynamic.
HOME Initiative allows increased density — but gentrification + density may further displace original residents.
HOME Initiative (2023) + ADU ordinance allow garage-to-ADU by-right — Austin DSD residential permit. In Rosewood specifically, shotgun cottage stock means garage conversion scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Austin scoping flow factors no comprehensive historic district and pier-and-beam on pre-1935 stock into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

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.
Questions LA homeowners actually ask
Rosewood garage conversion projects typically run $75K–$185K. Rosewood's shotgun cottage stock, combined with no comprehensive historic district, puts most mid-complexity projects in the $130K range. Baily scopes the exact band once you describe the work.
