Garage conversion in Preston Hollow
Preston Hollow is North Dallas's ranch submarket. Preston Hollow is Dallas's largest-lot residential neighborhood — 1-5 acre lots were platted 1940-1960 with no historic district overlay, which is why the tear-down-rebuild cycle has been so aggressive since 2000.
What a garage conversion project looks like here
Preston Hollow is Dallas's largest-lot residential neighborhood — 1-5 acre lots were platted 1940-1960 with no historic district overlay, which is why the tear-down-rebuild cycle has been so aggressive since 2000.
Because Preston Hollow's tree canopy includes large 100+-year-old live oaks and pecans, the Dallas Tree Protection Ordinance drives specific site-plan review — a 30" DBH oak requires an arborist report and possibly a tree-protection fee.
Many Preston Hollow tear-down-replacement homes have post-tension slab foundations with concrete-on-cable design — plumbing relocations require x-ray cable mapping before any concrete cutting.
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 Preston Hollow specifically, ranch stock means garage conversion scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Dallas scoping flow factors no landmark district and tree protection ordinance 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
