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.

Go green with your remodel by refinishing instead of replacing!

Expecting guests for the holidays?

By

The holidays are right around the corner, and for those who will be hosting family and friends throughout this busy season, now is the time to begin sprucing up your home for the holidays. Along with making sure your guest bedrooms are ready to welcome visitors, you’ll also want to make sure your kitchen and bathrooms are in shape, too.

Updating your kitchen and bathrooms is a quick and painless process when you choose to refinish with Miracle Method. We can typically complete the work within a two to three day time frame, which means your space will only be out of commission for a few days, as opposed to a few months if you were to remodel. Plus, refinishing can extend the life of your existing bathroom and kitchen fixtures by up to 15 years or more.

Additionally, we offer a variety of color options, so you’re sure to find the perfect fit for your kitchen or bathroom’s new and improved look. Our Natural Accents stone colors are a very popular choice, as they have the multi-color appearance and the texture of a natural stone, but for a fraction of the cost.

Our Natural Accents product is a great alternative to replacing your countertops.

Miracle Method offers a cost-effective and timely approach to updating the appearance of your kitchen or bathroom in time for your holiday visitors. Visit our online locator to find a Miracle Method franchise near you, or call 855-212-7337.

Family friendly work schedule is high on the list for prospective business owners

By

Have you ever found yourself frustrated because you missed an important event at your child’s school or the most important game of the season for your child’s sports team because you couldn’t take the time away from work? If you answered yes, you are probably searching for that one job that allows you the flexibility to be there for all of those special events you don’t want to miss. A family friendly work schedule can be found by owning a Miracle Method franchise.

Miracle Method offers a family friendly work schedule.

Most Miracle Method franchisees workweek is Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. However, advance scheduling will allow you to work when you want to, so you’ll never miss out on those very important times in the life of your children and family. Being your own boss and setting your own schedule is not something you’ll find in the corporate world.

Along with a family friendly work schedule, owning a Miracle Method franchise means you’re entering an industry with almost guaranteed profits. The refinishing business is very recession resistant as most homeowners are still willing to spend money if they are receiving great value. For example, few people are willing to pay $5,000 – $6,000 for granite countertops, but they will spend $800 – $1,000 to update and refinish their existing counters. We offer the value alternative to expensive replacement, which is why Miracle Method’s sales are at an all time high as more homeowners continue to learn about the many benefits of refinishing.

If owning a Miracle Method franchise sounds like the business you’ve always wanted to manage, , feel free to visit our website for more information, or give us a call at 888-444-8827.

What can be done with the ugly tile around my bathtub?

Bathroom tile refinishingReplacing bathroom tile just because it’s an ugly color, there’s broken tile, or the grout needs repair is quite costly, messy and rather unnecessary.

Think about what it takes to replace tile: it will have to be chiseled off of the wall and the backer board replaced, which is very messy. You will also need to protect the bathtub from any falling tools or tile. It will take a lot of patience and a good tile saw to make sure the tile goes in flush. Furthermore, you must count the time that the bathtub will be out of commission. Why not avoid this headache and call Miracle Method for a free tile refinishing estimate?

With Miracle Method, you can have that that ugly or broken tile and grout refinished to look like new in just two days! We use a process of cleaning the tile, and applying our MM-4 bonding agent along with several hi-tech top coats to give you a durable and beautiful new look. And don’t think you have to just stick to white tile! Miracle Method offers a wide range of colors and finishes including our impressive Natural Accents™ stone look finishes.

Refinishing tile will save you up to 75% over the cost of replacement. If you want to avoid the hassle and expense of replacing your unattractive tile, consider calling Miracle Method at 855-212-7337 or visit our website to find a location near you.

 

How does tile shower and shower pan refinishing work?

Before and after tile shower refinishing

Before and after tile shower refinishing from Miracle Method.

Shower pans can become stained for many reasons, including years and years of mineral build-up. If your shower pan is stained and it seems like you’ve tried everything you can to get it clean without success, don’t replace it, consider hiring Miracle Method to refinish it!

Refinishing a tile shower and shower pan is similar to refinishing a bathtub in that it includes multiple steps. The first step involves a  cleaning process to remove contaminants such as soap scum, body oil and dirt. The next step is to float the grout. This entails using a squeegee to evenly spread a small amount of grout over the surface to fill in gaps and even out grout lines. Then the tile is cleaned, a bonding agent is applied and several coats of hi-tech acrylic are used to finalize the refinishing.

You can go from an old, stained shower pan and outdated tile to a shower that not only looks like new, but is much easier to clean!  Another unique benefit of refinishing tile showers and tile shower pans is that once refinished, the tile grout lines are also refinished and permanently sealed so no more scrubbing stained and moldy grout lines!  To find the nearest Miracle Method location use our store locator, or call 855-212-7337.
