Miracle Method provides on-going training for franchisees and technicians

By

To provide the best kitchen and bath surface refinishing for our residential and commercial customers, Miracle Method conducts exclusive continuing education workshops for franchisees and their technicians.  This continuing education is a big part of why Miracle Method is the nation’s Number 1 surface refinishing company.

Hands-on training is always a part of Miracle Method training sessions.

Chuck Pistor, President of Miracle Method, said “These workshops not only add to the technical ability of our franchisees and their technicians, but also help maintain the gap between ourselves and our competitors. No one else in the surface refinishing industry offers continuing education programs.”

We present three annual workshops, each of which covers the latest techniques and developments in the surface refinishing of bathtubs, tile, fiberglass, acrylic, cultured marble, and laminate bathroom and kitchen surfaces. Additionally, we’re also introducing an exclusive application system for our Natural Accents® stone-look finish, which  makes the refinished surface look even more like natural stone. The first two workshops were held in Cleveland, OH and Sacramento, CA in September and the final 2012 workshop was held October 5-7 in Corpus Christi, TX.

“The workshops were a tremendous success,” according to Pistor.  “The response from our franchisees to our new products and techniques was outstanding and our customers will be able to take advantage of new refinishing options.”  When refinishing is completed by a trained Miracle Method technician, customers can rest assured that they have invested in a quality service.

Should I paint or refinish my countertops?

By

A few years ago, you replaced your kitchen cabinets and wanted to update the look of your countertops, too.  Your budget would only stretch so far, so you put that in the plans for the future.  As luck would have it, unexpected expenses came up and you’ve had to dip into your countertop fund for them.  Now, you’re looking for a cost-effective way to give your countertops that long overdue facelift.

One friend suggests painting them yourself, but you’re a little hesitant.   Painting your countertops will be very time consuming, requires a lot of patience and equipment, and you’re not so sure the end result will be the smooth, durable surface that you need. Paint brushes and rollers don’t always reach every nook and cranny and your DIY skills could spell DIY disaster!

Instead of painting your countertops, consider what Miracle Method Surface Refinishing can do for you. Our professional countertop refinishing process involves the following:

  • A two-step cleaning to remove all dirt, grease and other contaminants from the surface
  • Repair of any damage, burn marks, knife cuts and missing grout or laminate pieces
  • Application of a proprietary bonding agent to assure that the new surface will stick
  • Use of a color tinted primer coat
  • Two coats of one of over 30 Natural Accents colors applied using a high tech HVLP sprayer to assure a smooth, even finish
  • Two coats of a non-yellowing, waterproof clear acrylic in your choice of satin, semi-gloss or gloss
  • Final tear down of all masking materials and clean up of the project area

The end result will be a beautiful, durable surface that will give your old countertops an extended usable life, all for a fraction of the cost of replacement!

Update your kitchen countertops before summer guests arrive for a family reunion!

By

Last summer when you volunteered to host this year’s family reunion, you made a mental note to do something about your worn out kitchen countertops. You were already thinking about replacing them, and the thought of having new countertops to show off to your family was exciting… but with the hustle and bustle of your work and family life, you kept putting it on the next month’s to-do list. Summer is screaming by and you’re two weeks away from your family reunion and you don’t want your scratched up, outdated countertops to be the talk of the reunion. Fortunately, while visiting with your neighbor, she mentions that she just had her countertops refinished by Miracle Method and, after knowing the shape her countertops were in before they were refinished, you decide to visit the Miracle Method website for more information.

There, you learn that Miracle Method can refinish your countertops to a like-new look and feel in just a day or two, and that you’ll save around 30% to 50% over the total cost of replacement. There’s no messy construction involved since Miracle Method refinishes fixtures in place. Any evidence of scratches, chips, or cuts will be gone and you’ll be left with a lovely countertop in a new color and texture of your choosing, and the life of your countertops will be extended by 10 to 15 years. The final result will be gorgeous countertops that your family will think you spent thousands of dollars on, and you’ll gladly share with them of how Miracle Method transformed your countertops.

Buying or Selling a Home This Summer? Update it with Surface Refinishing from Miracle Method!

By

Early summer is often a time in which real estate sales increase a bit. Many homeowners choose to relocate during this time of year because the kids are on a break from school. Those looking to sell their homes usually like to make a few improvements to give their homes a facelift, and buyers sometimes purchase a home that could stand some updates in order to get a great price. Most often, sellers and buyers alike choose to update the kitchen or bath since those spaces can make a sale and help increase a home’s value.

If you’re planning to sell your home and need to make some updates or are purchasing a home with a less than stellar kitchen or bath, there’s no need for a costly and time consuming remodel. Surface refinishing from Miracle Method can change the color of an ugly green bathtub, seal ugly tile grout lines, or update kitchen countertops in just one day! We can refinish your kitchen countertops or bathroom fixtures to a like-new look and feel with a high-gloss finish in a variety of colors, including our Natural Accents™ stone-look finish.

Before: A plain, boring laminate kitchen countertop.

After: The same laminate countertop transformed with a Natural Accents™ finish and a bullnose edge.

If you’re looking to sell your home this summer and your bathtub’s seen better days, or if you bought a home with a kitchen covered in outdated tile, visit the Miracle Method website to see what we can do to update your space in just one day. Find a franchise near you by calling 855-212-7337 or by using our online locator.
