What a roofing project looks like here
Heights contains six separate Houston Historic Districts — the largest historic-district cluster in Houston by count — the 1891-1920 streetcar-suburb fabric is nationally significant.
Because the Heights Historic Districts prohibit new construction that doesn't match contributing-structure scale, tear-down-replacement has been heavily constrained since 2010 designation — leading to a market of renovation rather than replacement.
Original Heights bungalows have 10-12' ceilings and full-width front porches — character-defining features specifically protected by HAHC.
Hurricane-rated shingles, metal, tile — Houston P&D roofing permit + TDI WPI-8 windstorm cert on full tear-off. In Heights specifically, craftsman bungalow stock means roofing 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.
