Garage conversion in Northwood Hills
Northwood Hills is North Dallas's ranch submarket. Northwood Hills sits on rolling 20-40' elevation changes, giving many lots multi-level pier-and-beam or split-level slab foundations that are unusual for post-1955 Dallas — a remodel here often surfaces foundation conditions more like 1930s Swiss Avenue than 1965 Casa View.

Because the neighborhood is north of LBJ Freeway and has mature post oak canopy, Tree Protection Ordinance review is consistently a factor — 8-10% of remodels require arborist reports.
Northwood Hills abuts Addison and Farmers Branch but all homes remain in Dallas proper — no cross-jurisdictional permit issues.
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 Northwood Hills specifically, ranch stock means garage conversion scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Dallas scoping flow factors no conservation district and rolling topography 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.
