Military Communities: Manage COM Costs & Schedules with Miracle Method

By

All military community developers and managers have one challenge in common—managing Change of Occupancy Maintenance (COM) costs and schedules.military-housing-image

Whether it’s a damaged countertop, stained vanity, or worn and damaged bathtub and surround, it’s usually kitchens and bathrooms that require upgrades and repairs. But renovations can be slow, messy, and expensive.

Miracle Method can save you money, time, and a lot of mess by refinishing the existing surfaces instead of replacing them. And, our finishes are guaranteed against peeling and adhesion failure.

Fast

We can generally complete a project in about 24 to 48 hours, so you get families into new housing quickly. 

Affordable

Surface refinishing can cost up to 75% less than replacing fixtures—no replacement expenses, no hidden delivery fees, and no cleanup and repair costs.

Military Compliant

We understand stringent military guidelines—insurance requirements, safety regulations, professionalism, and background checks. 

Ecofriendly

We don’t tear anything out and take it to the dump, so surface refinishing is “greener” than removal and replacement.

What Can You Do With Ugly Tile Walls?

By

Your bathroom is a place where you rejuvenate, relax and refresh. It’s a room you should love. So, what do you do if you don’t love your ugly tile walls?  What do you do with tile with outdated colors, grout lines that are cracked, stained, or moldy? White Tile Before After

You can tear out the existing tile and replace it with something else, but that’s messy, time-consuming and expensive.

At Miracle Method Surface Refinishing, we have a quick, clean, and affordable option for you. Don’t retile your walls. Instead, have the existing tile refinished.

With the Miracle Method process, we will transform your bath by creating a sparkling, like-new look and feel:

  1. First, we use a two-step cleaning process to remove any dirt, oil, and other residue from the tile walls.
  2. We repair any cracked or damage tile.
  3. Then, we “float” additional grout over the existing grout, if necessary, to fill any voids and create a smoother appearance.
  4. Once the grout is dry, we clean the tiles again and apply our MM-4 bonding agent to ensure that the new finish will adhere to the old.
  5. Finally, we apply our hi-tech acrylic coatings to produce a smooth, durable, even finish.

Miracle Method offers an extensive collection of colors and textures to choose from, including our Natural Accents™ stone finishes, so you can perfectly match your bathroom décor. Refinishing tile walls also permanently seals the grout, eliminating the need to clean or  regularly seal it.

Why bother with messy and expensive removal and replacement of ugly tile and grout when Miracle Method can refinish them quickly, affordably, and beautifully?

To learn more about our process, please visit our website at www.miraclemethod.com or give us a call at 855-212-7337 for more information. Your Miracle Method professional can offer the best pricing if you have both the bathtub and tile walls refinished at the same time. We can even finish the bathtub and walls in contrasting colors.

How Eco-Friendly Is Your Remodel?

By

Did you know that a single home remodeling project can generate between 70 and 115 pounds of waste per square foot?* It’s true. Traditional house renovations are a major contributor to overflowing landfills across the country.

At Miracle Method, we can offer you a green remodeling alternative. Don’t replace—refinish!

miracle-method-countertop-refinishingWe’ve been passionate about remodeling without demolition since the company was founded 35 years ago. Refinishing the surfaces of existing tubs, tile surrounds, bathroom vanities or kitchen countertops keeps those fixtures out of a landfill. It also reduces pollution generated by delivery, manufacture, and transportation of new fixtures.

Think about this: If you take all the tubs, tile, countertops and sinks we “recycle” in a single year by refinishing instead of throwing them away, we effectively keep more than 2,145,000 cubic feet of waste out of landfills. That’s the equivalent of more than 186 loaded pickup trucks each day.

Miracle Method Surface Refinishing is the nation’s largest surface refinishing network, with 135 franchises to provide beautiful, durable and affordable green remodeling alternatives. Our process can save 75% over the cost of replacing, and it adds up to 15 years of life to most surfaces. Call today to get started:  855-212-7337.

Is it difficult to replace a bathtub and tile surround?

By

When homeowners decide to improve and update their bathrooms, they often think a remodel requires the purchase of all new fixtures and accessories, especially when their bathtub and tile are old, damaged, or an outdated color. However, it’s important to understand what’s involved with bathtub and tile replacement before choosing that route.

Bathtub replacement is a messy, somewhat lengthy, and expensive process that is a job for a professional. A tub must be removed from its current space, and if it’s placed in between two walls, you run the risk of damaging those walls and what’s behind them in the demolition process. You also have to consider any plumbing work that may need to take place during the process. The price of the new tub, along with the costs for demolition and removal, installation, plumbing work, and the likes can exceed $3000 – this is definitely an option that should only be considered as a last resort.

Bathtub surface refinishing is a cost-effective alternative that can be completed in just a few days, restoring your tub and tile to a beautiful, like-new look and feel. Miracle Method comes to you and will refinish your tub without removing it. Our finishes are very durable and will give your tub and tile another 15 years or more of usable life.

If you are thinking about replacing your bathtub and tile, we recommend that you visit the Miracle Method website to learn more about how refinishing compares to replacement.

Reasons for having your bathtub refinished

By

If your bathtub is worn out, damaged with chips and cracks, hard to clean, or an outdated, ugly color and you’re thinking about replacing it, consider an alternative that will save you time and money. With bathtub refinishing by Miracle Method, you’ll not only save thousands of dollars, but also days and even weeks of messy demolition and replacement. According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association, the total cost to remove and replace a bathtub is an estimated $3,000 or more, but Miracle Method’s bathtub refinishing will cost a fraction of that.

Miracle Method Bathtub Before and AfterAs if saving time and money weren’t enough to seal the deal, here are some other reasons to choose bathtub refinishing:

  • Longevity. Using the same care and maintenance recommended by new bathtub manufacturers, a refinished bathtub should easily last 10 to 15 years or more.
  • Durability. Because Miracle Method uses the most technologically advanced coating available, our finishes can withstand daily use and do not require special cleaning. However, just like a newly manufactured bathtub, refinished bathtubs can be chipped or scratched if subjected to extreme abuse.
  • Aesthetics. The deep gloss created by our hi-tech acrylic coatings looks so much like new porcelain that 9 out of 10 people cannot tell the difference between our refinishing and a brand new tub.
  • Superiority. No other refinishing company uses the same steps that Miracle Method uses. From the diligent cleaning process to the use of our one-of-a-kind MM-4 bonding agent to the advanced coatings and final detailing, Miracle Method really stands apart.
  • Experience. Miracle Method is the largest, most experienced refinishing company in the United States and has been the leader in refinishing techniques for nearly 30 years.

Having Miracle Method refinish your bathtub will not only save you time and money, but will also give you peace of mind that you’ve chosen a quality service to make your bathroom look and feel like new.  Ask about our 5 year warranty. To find a Miracle Method closest to you, visit our online Locator or call 855-212-7337.
