Once in a lifetime opportunities are notorious for being scarce… after all, the name basically says it all! Once. In. A. Lifetime.
But, in 2018 Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods was presented the opportunity to partner with America’s leading home design and renovation brand — This Old House — on not one, BUT TWO occasions: the 2018 Idea House and the Jamestown Net-Zero Project House.
Installing hardwood floors often requires a pretty sizable investment on your part. While the cost of hardwood flooring varies depending on everything from the size of your home to the type of wood that you choose, the average American pays more than $4,300 to have hardwood floors installed.
As a result, it’s extremely important for you to maintain your hardwood flooring the right way once you get it in place. When you make hardwood floor maintenance a priority, you can keep your floors looking like new and ensure that they last (nearly) a lifetime.
The good news is that hardwood floors are a lot easier to maintain than other types of flooring (like carpeting). However, there are some things you’ll need to do to preserve their appearance.

When a business has almost 60 years of history and experience to fall back on, it shows. Like Walmart, Nike and other well-established brands, Baird Brothers has been around since the 1960s.
Unlike most companies today, they didn’t start up with any sort of complicated business plan, financing or a marketing strategy. They didn’t even have a logo.
The business was born out of necessity and a desire to make something with what was available at hand.

“The popularity of Craftsman architecture, both old and new, lies in the fact that it looks like home.”
~ Robert Winter, architectural historian
None other than Frank Lloyd Wright introduced Craftsman design in the latter years of the 19th century. Craftsman — an integral part of the American Arts and Crafts movement that incorporates elements of Mission and Shaker-style décor — was a revolt against the fussy design style of the Victorian era. This distinctively American style is synonymous with gorgeous hardwood, craftsmanship, clean lines and simple silhouettes.
“More than any other material, fine hardwood defines the Craftsman-style,” Baird Brothers’ Steve Stack said. “The straight lines that are the hallmark of this style show off the character and natural beauty of the hardwood as well as top-notch craftsmanship.”
