What a garage conversion project looks like here
Cedar Ridge sits on the Austin Chalk Escarpment — limestone bedrock foundations at 3-10' depth rather than the expansive-clay norm for most of Dallas.
Because the bedrock is close to the surface, pier-and-beam deep-pier foundations are simpler and cheaper than in typical Dallas neighborhoods.
The escarpment overlay protects long-view corridors toward downtown Dallas — any rooftop addition faces visual-impact review.
Dallas R-5(A) / R-7.5(A) / R-10(A) zones allow garage-to-ADU conversion by-right since the 2022 code update. In Cedar Ridge specifically, ranch stock means garage conversion scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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.
