Manufactured Home Remodel on Renovation Hunters Season 2 | AHA
Manufactured Home Remodel on Renovation Hunters Season 2 | AHA
Welcome to another episode of the American Hardwood Advisor podcast! Today, AHA host Steve Stack talks with Chris Filardi, Managing Partner & Co-Creator of Renovation Hunters, on Outdoor Channel about the third project of Renovation Hunters Season 2, a manufactured home remodel project in Linesville, Pennsylvania.
This was an emotional project for the Renovations Hunters crew. The original homeowner, a husband and father, always dreamed of his family having a house on the lake. Tragically, he was diagnosed with ALS and passed away not long after retirement. This left the crew with the tall task of an old mobile home remodel honoring his memory.
The biggest hurdle for this project was the mobile home kitchen remodel. The original design of the kitchen was small and lacked a proper flow, making it difficult to cook for an entire family. So, the crew stripped the kitchen down to the mobile home walls and built it back up from scratch. Brand new kitchen cabinets and overall better storage space, countertops, sink/faucet, light fixtures, etc. all made a huge difference in the functionality of the kitchen space.
Dealing with the relatively small square foot size of the real estate typical of modular homes was not an easy task, but the crew was able to turn around the whole living space. They were even able to give the family’s grandma her own room with multiple access points, giving her privacy while maintaining easy access to the rest of the home.
The overall change was massive for the home improvement. The home look changed dramatically, transforming from an old, worn-out manufactured home into a high-quality place for a family to gather. This mobile home makeover was certainly a success for the Renovation Hunters crew. From the mobile home living room, new cabinets in the remodeled kitchen, paint colors, new flooring, etc., this project made the house look like a brand new mobile home.

Renovation Hunters Nonprofit Partnerships - ALS Association | AHA
Going into the third and final project of Renovation Hunters Season 2, AHA Host Steve Stack and Renovation Hunters Managing Partner & Co-Creator Chris Filardi knew that the father and husband of the family had passed away, which was the motivation for doing the project, but they didn’t know any details. After getting to know the family during the project, the Renovation Hunters team learned that he passed from ALS.
They took this opportunity to educate themselves on the disease so they could know how it affects people and their loved ones. The team reached out to the ALS Association, a nonprofit organization with initiatives dedicated to helping people diagnosed with ALS by fundraising for research efforts, to learn more and join the cause.
Moved by the stories of those affected by the illness, Renovation Hunters and the ALS Association created a corporate-nonprofit partnership that shares a common goal: raising awareness so we can one day find a cure.
Renovation Hunters is happy to work with this nonprofit partner and looks forward to the social impact and fundraising campaigns that can come of it. Being able to bring a new audience to the Association through Renovation Hunters advocacy is something that Baird Brothers and Renovation Hunters are proud to be a part of.
We believe it’s important for for-profit businesses to make connections in the nonprofit sector, particularly with organizations with shared goals. These types of partnerships allow for-profit companies to align to a cause greater than themselves and make a significant difference in the lives of many. By becoming corporate sponsors, offering financial support, in-kind donations, or even just helping spread awareness, being a corporate partner to a nonprofit can help make the world a better place.
Whether you raise awareness on social media, grantmaking, partake in volunteer opportunities, or another kind of partnership model, CEOs can make a difference by aligning their business with nonprofit organizations with shared goals. We encourage other businesses to seek potential partners and embrace their corporate social responsibility (CSR).

On-Set Secrets: Chris Filardi Talks Renovation Hunters’ TV Show Bloopers | AHA
Welcome to another episode of the American Hardwood Advisor podcast!

Watch as they reminisce over the past two seasons and look forward to continuing the partnership between Renovation Hunters and Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods.
Renovation Hunters is the Outdoor Channel’s first-ever home improvement TV show. Hosted and co-created by Drop Zone’s Hal Shaffer, the new series visits fishing camps, hunting cabins and vacation camps all across America and remodels them into an outdoorsman’s dream home! The new show’s goal is to makeover these camps so that family traditions and outdoor lifestyles continue to the next generation.

Log Cabin Restoration on Renovation Hunters Season 2 | AHA
Welcome to another episode of the American Hardwood Advisor Podcast! Today, AHA host Steve Stack talks with Chris Filardi, Managing Partner & Co-Creator of Renovation Hunters on Outdoor Channel about the second project of Renovation Hunters Season 2, a log home restoration project in Baldwin, Michigan.
This log cabin proved to be a tall task for the team. Starting with an unassuming, 500 square foot (the first time working on a project this small!) log building, this log home restoration quickly became much more troublesome than they could have imagined. Winding up with much more than a simple log cabin restoration, much of the log house was completely demolished, leaving little more than the timber framing and studs of the log structure, even needing to completely remove one of the log walls on the lake side of the old cabin: log siding, chinking, and all.
This was an important project for the log homeowner, who was injured and unable to work on any restoration services himself. Aiming to make the log cabin livable so he can bring inner city youth who have never seen the great outdoors into the area, he could not let log cabin repairs stand in the way of the goal.
Between the addition of the porch to refinishing the entire interior of the cabin, this log home repair project made for a night and day difference.
Rotted logs, problems with sealants, water damage, and much more can prove troublesome when it comes to log home maintenance. Check out Renovation Hunters Season 2 to see how the team handles the hurdles of log home care!

Rustic Cabin Interior Design | Renovation Hunters’ Project Critz | AHA
Welcome to another episode of the American Hardwood Advisor podcast! In this special episode, host Steve Stack is joined by Todd Joyce - with appearances by Mr. and Mrs. Joyce - to reminisce on the last year enjoying their freshly renovated rustic cabin, thanks to Outdoor Channel’s Renovation Hunters.
Watch as Steve and Todd discuss everything Renovation Hunters did to the rustic cabin interior (and exterior), enjoying nature, his family’s history with the previous homeowners and their rustic retreat. Renovation Hunters brought the family’s biggest log cabin interior design ideas to life! The week-long project renovated the log house interior design style by bringing in more natural materials, connecting the rustic log cabin to the outdoors.
The team at Renovation Hunters made the most out of the small cabin with elevated rustic decor ideas. They elevated the home decor, bringing new rustic kitchen ideas to the brand-new dining table (made of natural materials from Baird Brothers). They also provided solar power, a reliable water source, a luxury deer blind (that’s basically a cozy cabin itself), an outdoor shower, and even a skinning shed. The log cabin decor in the living area was just a start; the project also involved renovating the outdoor deck and including bedroom ideas to get the women of the family to stay for the night.
Renovation Hunters is a new series on Outdoor Channel where a team of craftsmen and expert DIY-ers come together to renovate log homes and cabin styles in need of some TLC. When the team visited Critz, the lakeside rustic-style cabin design was restored with some much-needed upgrades.

Hal Shaffer, Kevin Tarkovich & Chris Filardi on Renovation Hunters’ Project Tionesta | AHA
It’s another episode of American Hardwood Advisor! In this AHA, host Steve Stack is joined by the creative team behind the Outdoor Channel’s first renovation show, Renovation Hunters: Hal Shaffer, host and managing partner/co-creator; Kevin Tarkovich, lead contractor; and Chris Filardi, managing partner/co-creator. The team took time to reveal behind-the-scenes stories from Project Tionesta when they visited Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods in Canfield Ohio to tour the sawmill and Studio 3B.
Watch as Hal, Kevin, Chris and Steve reflect on the last project of the new series’ first season, updating an old cabin while honoring history, meeting the family that owned the Forest County getaway, meeting the people around the Tionesta area in western Pennsylvania, overcoming challenges, and all the ways Baird Brothers’ products transformed the cabin.
Renovation Hunters is a new TV show on the Outdoor Channel that takes a team of experienced DIY-ers and expert craftsmen across the country to renovate family getaway cabins. The home improvement team updates these properties to honor family history while preserving the home for generations.
The third Renovation Hunters project in season one of the TV show took the team to Tionesta, Pennsylvania, surrounded by Warren, Elk, Jefferson, Venango, and Clarion Counties. Far from the hustle and bustle of bigger cities like Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, the people who live in the Tionesta area fully embraced Renovation Hunters. One family even offered their own home for the renovation crew to use as a break and rest area!
Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods was the provider of fine hardwood products used throughout the home improvement projects. Adding a natural resource throughout the interior design of the cabin helped immerse the getaway cabin in its environment.

Raechal Woodworks From the Renovation Hunters’ Tionesta Job Site | American Hardwood Advisor
Steve Stack is back with another episode of the American Hardwood Advisor podcast, but not from Studio 3B! In this episode of AHA, Steve is on set at Renovation Hunters’ Project Tionesta talking with one of the makers, Raechal Petris (known as Raechal Woodworks).
Watch as Steve and Raechal discuss how tasks are split out on the job site for the Outdoor Channel’s first-ever renovation show, how she got her DIY woodworking start, and the benefits of working directly with Steve Stack from Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods.
The first season of the Outdoor Channel’s Renovation Hunters took the team to three locations across the nation: Hyannis, Nebraska; Critz, Virginia; and Tionesta, Pennsylvania (located in Forest County near Allegheny). From Nebraska to western Pennsylvania, the team renovated family getaway cabins so that they could continue to use the cabin for generations.
Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods partnered with the home improvement TV show as the provider of several natural hardwood products. The new series celebrates families getting together in outdoor spaces, so partnering with a family company that provides a natural resource just made sense!
Check out Baird’s content studio for more interviews with the personalities from the Outdoor Channel’s Renovation Hunters, including host Hal Shaffer! You’ll find both episodes filmed on the job site in the Tionesta area and in Baird’s Studio 3B in Canfield, Ohio.
