Custom home design in Prestonwood (north Preston Road corridor)

What a custom home design project looks like here
Prestonwood was master-planned by Henry S. Miller Jr. and built out 1968-1985 around the Prestonwood Country Club -- the curvilinear street pattern means almost every lot has a non-standard setback geometry that the HOA ARC enforces case-by-case.
The HOA architectural review here is more rigorous than most Dallas neighborhoods short of Highland Park -- mansard roof modifications, paint color changes, and even mailbox replacements require ARC sign-off.
Because the original 1970s slabs were under-designed for current Houston Black clay heave patterns, foundation pier-and-beam underpinning ($35K-$75K) is often in scope as part of any major remodel -- the building inspector will flag visible heave cracks during plan review.

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.
