How to Refinish Hardwood Floors Like a Pro (Build It With Baird)
Welcome back to another episode of Build It With Baird! In this episode, Steve Stack ventures out of Studio 3B to the job site with Mike Jones of Mike Jones Hardwood Flooring. Watch as Mike shows Steve the process he goes through when refinishing hardwood floors for a client.
Hardwood floor refinishing is a classic home improvement project — especially for new homeowners. In this BIWB, the client bought the home and wanted to upgrade the entire floor. The wood floors between the two rooms had an uneven divider, the floorboards weren’t flush with the fireplace and removing a partial wall left voids in the solid hardwood floors. In this home, the wood floors experienced some water damage and discoloration. Sanding and recoating the floor with a new finish made them even again – both in level and color.
Mike Jones and his team used a floor sander, applied a floor finish with a paintbrush, added a picture frame moulding around the fireplace and installed new floor pieces in the voids. Using a pry bar, they removed the now unnecessary tongue and groove sections. The new wood stain made every square foot of the room look uniform. Always remember to remove excess stain to avoid uneven coating.
There’s more than one reason to sand your floor as a DIY project. Not only can it remove the old finish, but it can also eliminate deep scratches and gouges without buffing every single one (or using wood filler and a putty knife). Before you start, it’s important to wear safety glasses and a dust mask/respirator to protect yourself. You can use an orbital sander, floor buffer or fine grit sandpaper. After you sand the floor, you can apply a top coat of polyurethane finish as a sealer to protect the wood. Depending on your floor, you can use either an oil-based polyurethane or water-based polyurethane.
Watch the process step-by-step:

Divider Repair 1:14 - 1:47

How to Get Custom Mouldings and Millwork (Build It With Baird)
Have you been looking for the perfect crown moulding but can’t find it anywhere? The search is over!
In this episode of Build It With Baird, Steve Stack is joined by Benny Baird, Finish Shop Manager, to walk through Baird Brothers’ custom moulding process. Architects, interior designers and homeowners alike can benefit from Baird’s custom moulding profile samples.
If you can’t find what you want in our in-stock mouldings, our experts can 3D print a sample to scale. This way, you can see exactly what the chair rail, baseboards, or any other wood moulding looks like in the home.
Simply stop by our showroom with your drawing, and our team will mock up a drawing and 3D print the sample. After you’re satisfied with the design, the drawing gets sent to the router. Choose your species of wood: poplar, red oak, cherry, walnut, and more! Then, lumber heads to our state-of-the-art custom millwork shop. Some finishing touches, and it’s off to the final stop: your home!
The possibilities for custom millwork products are endless! Design custom chair rails, hand rails, stair parts, baseboards, crown mouldings, and whatever you want. You’ll be impressed with Baird’s craftsmanship no matter what you special order.
