What a roofing project looks like here

Because Deep Ellum buildings are pre-1930 industrial with original cast-iron columns and heavy-timber framing, a unit combination almost always triggers structural engineer review of 1890s-era column capacities.
The neighborhood's PD-269 Planned Development zoning allows live/work studios by-right — the only Dallas-proper neighborhood with this specific permission, which dramatically changes what kitchen renovations require.

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.
