A custom interior door surrounded by custom casing and crown moulding.

Lets face it, those generic stock options from big box stores just don’t cut it – especially when you want your home to reflect your unique style.  

Custom wood doors, by comparison, deliver that extra wow factor each and every time. But not all doors are built the same, and in order to truly get what you’re looking for, you need to partner with an experienced company staffed with expert craftsmen. That’s where Baird Brothers comes in!

(Sidenote: If you’re on a tighter budget or timeline, we also have some stunning designs already available – the only customization needed is to pick your favorite wood species!)

A board with a 1 x 4” nominal size and a ¾ x 3.5” nominal size with both measurements shown. 

Ok. You have your project plans ready to go and are taking the next big step – buying the dimensional lumber. But then, confusion sets in when you realize the product you’re looking for has two different names. Oh no!

It’s important to know that when it comes to the size of finish grade lumber, there’s a difference between what the board is called (its nominal size) and its actual size.

This, of course, can be a little confusing for beginner DIY woodworking enthusiasts – but it doesn’t have to be. Let’s take a look at the difference so you can get accurate and precise results whenever you’re working with dimensional lumber.

Baseboard moulding covering the gap between the flooring and the wall.

The look of your home is important – after all, you spend a lot of time there!

So, it stands to reason that you should love every bit of it – from the interior doors to the wood trim profiles. While it may seem like splitting hairs, your crown moulding, baseboard and casing deserve the same kind of attention and love as any other part of your home. And, we promise that updating (or upgrading) your millwork accents will make more of an impact than you ever thought possible.

While settling for any old molding profile may be the norm, your home is your home and it doesn’t have to be cookie-cutter. Why not customize it the way you want? After all, if the wood species of your floors clashes with your existing wood mouldings, it can end up driving you crazy.

To make your home reflect your style from top to bottom, custom millwork and unique moulding profiles are key.
