My countertops need to be replaced, what are my options?

By

When your kitchen countertops become outdated or damaged, it’s time to make a change. The first solution one might think of is to completely replace the countertops with a brand new surface such as Corian or Silestone. While new countertops may seem like a valid option, the replacement process takes up anywhere from seven days to a few weeks and is quite costly – and those factors alone may cause some consumers to re-think that decision.

Another option is to refinish your old countertops. The Miracle Method process is a great option because refinishing repairs any damage and restores the existing surface to a like-new appearance, as well as extends the life of the countertops up to 15 years or more. Additionally, refinished kitchen countertops are repairable, guaranteed, and can be used in just a few days after refinishing.

Miracle Method offers a wide selection of colors and texture options, so you can match your existing décor. You can also have the look of stone with Miracle Method’s revolutionary product called Natural Accents at a fraction of the cost of a real stone countertop.

The biggest advantage of refinishing, by far, is the savings when compared to replacement. Countertop refinishing usually saves homeowners between 30% and 50% over the total cost of replacement!

We invite you to visit the Miracle Method website to learn more about the option of countertop refinishing. And if you are ready to refinish with Miracle Method, use our online locator to find the Miracle Method franchise closest to you.

My cultured marble vanity is from the 70’s, what can I do?

By

Cultured marble is a material that is often used for bathroom vanities, sinks, shower pans and walls. Cultured marble is a blend of marble dust and polyester resin and is a material that has been used for years in bathroom fixtures like vanities. Over time, cultured marble can become scratched, chipped, stained, or just out-dated and in need of an update. Another common problem is cracking that develops around the drain in cultured marble sinks. This is referred to “thermal shock” and results from expansion and contraction after exposure to hot and cold water over time.

The good news is that these problems can be repaired and then a new finish applied to give vanities a brand new look! Cultured marble surfaces are excellent candidates for refinishing instead of replacement. Not only will you save money, but there will be no need for removal or expensive replacement, no custom fabrication, and no need to hire a plumber. Additionally, refinishing with Miracle Method extends the life of your cultured marble vanity and sinks and brings its style to the present with updated colors – and all at a fraction of the cost of removal and replacement.

Why bother with replacing when you can refinish?

Is a refinished countertop as durable as a laminate countertop?

By

Laminate countertops have often been the material of choice for kitchen countertops because they are a non-porous surface that is easy to clean, comes in a wide variety of colors, and is resistant to heat and stains. Laminate countertops are often marketed under brand names such as Formica and Wilsonart. While they are considered to be an economical choice, there are also a few disadvantages to laminate countertops.

Laminate countertops can be cut, scratched, or even chipped and that type of damage isn’t easy to repair. Once a laminate countertop has been damaged, it becomes a great candidate for refinishing. If you like the look and layout of your laminate kitchen counters, refinishing is a way to completely restore them to a like-new condition and feel. With the Miracle Method refinishing process, you’ve got plenty of color and texture options available, so you can get a great new look for a fraction of the cost.

While refinished countertops are comparable to laminate in that they are durable, non-porous, stain and heat resistant, unlike laminate, refinished countertops can be easily repaired if damage occurs.

We Were Green Before Green was Popular…

By

Over the past several years, there has been great emphasis in the building industry on going green and incorporating products and materials into new and existing structures that have little to no impact on the environment. While the idea of going green is still a relatively new concept to some, it is nothing new to Miracle Method.

Miracle Method was green before green was popular! We have been “recycling” through our refinishing process for over 30 years by restoring all types of tubs, tile showers, vanities, sinks, and even kitchen countertops. By refinishing, we can extend the useful life of most bath and kitchen fixtures by 15 years or more. This not only allows consumers to get more use out of their fixtures, but refinishing also reduces the amount of unnecessary waste that ends up in landfills.

The National Association of the Remodeling Industry estimates that a typical remodeling project produces between 70 and 115 pounds of waste per square foot. With surface refinishing from Miracle Method, you can significantly decrease the amount of waste generated from your project, which also contributes to a better environment. In addition, Miracle Method avoids using toxic acids commonly used by other refinishers. To learn more about our unique refinishing processes, please check out our website at http://www.miraclemethod.com.
