What a full home renovation project looks like here

Devon developed 1920-1950 as a small streetcar-suburb pocket east of Broad Ripple, with English Cottage and Tudor Revival stock that mirrors Meridian-Kessler at smaller scale.

Most Devon homes are on 50-60 ft lots, which makes ADU pilot conversions (basement or detached garage) one of the highest-yielding renovation patterns in the area.

Devon falls fully under DBNS Indy.gov online permitting — most simple kitchen-bath remodels go through electronic plan review without an in-person hearing.

Indianapolis whole-home gut renovations — structural, MEP, finishes — coordinated through Marion County Code Enforcement + IRC 2018 + Indiana PLA permitted scope on a single residential filing. In Devon specifically, 1920-1950 tudor revival cottage and bungalow stock means full home renovation scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

Origin

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.
