What a full home renovation project looks like here

Kennedy-King is named for the historic 1968 Robert F. Kennedy speech announcing the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., delivered in this neighborhood at 17th and Broadway.

The neighborhood is part of an Indy.gov reinvestment overlay that offers expedited permit review and tax-abatement layered on top of standard DBNS permitting.

Fall Creek borders the northern edge of Kennedy-King — properties along the creek sit inside FEMA AE flood overlay and require flood-vent compliance for basement work.

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 Kennedy-King specifically, 1900-1930 american foursquare stock means full home renovation scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Indianapolis scoping flow factors kennedy-king redevelopment overlay and indianapolis adu pilot into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

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.
