Preparing Your Bathroom for Holiday Guests without the Stress

By

It’s mid-November and the holidays are just around the corner. It can be a very stressful time of the year with lots of shopping and cooking and preparing the home for guests, not to mention having the family together. The to-do lists can be overwhelming and it’s easy to overdo it and expect everything to be perfect.

The reality is, even when the holidays are approaching, regular life is still happening. The kids need help with homework. Dinner needs to be prepared. The laundry needs to be done. The dog needs to go to the groomer. The furnace is acting up, and to top it all off, your son dropped the handheld shower nozzle and chipped the side of the tub.

Take a deep breath, a chip can easily be repaired. You don’t have to call a contractor to rip out the tub and replace it. Miracle Method can help. Not only can Miracle Method refinish the entire tub, but we repair chips and cracks all the time. You want your guest bath to look nice for your guests and Miracle Method provides a great alternative to costly and time consuming replacement.

So, you’ve got the chip fixed, what are some other things you can do to make your bathroom look and feel great for guests?

  • A deep clean – clean the floor and baseboards and clean around all of the fixtures. Put on some music and get the family involved in helping.
  • Purchase a new bath rug at an online or local discount retailer. There are sales everywhere during the holidays. Don’t pay full price!
  • Pick up a scented candle and some decorative soaps to display on the counter
  • Place some travel-sized toiletries in a basket such as deodorant, toothpaste, mouthwash, a spare toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner and hand lotion. If your guests have forgotten something in your luggage, no need to worry – you’ve already got it on hand.
  • Wash the shower curtain and liner to freshen them up.
  • Clear out some storage space for guests to store their personal things.
  • Make sure there is extra toilet paper under the sink.

If your guests feel comfortable and at home, they will enjoy their stay more and you won’t have to be catering to them as much. Preparing for their stay ahead of time means less running around for you and more time for conversation and fun.

Completely Transform Your Fireplace With Surface Refinishing

Can The Tile Around My Fireplace Be Refinished?

Removing and replacing tile is a messy, time consuming and costly endeavor.  Rather than replacing the tile, refinishing is a great alternative that can completely transform the look of the tile and often save over 50% compared to replacement costs. The gorgeous new look and cost savings alone makes refinishing an excellent choice for remodeling. Plus, fireplace refinishing will permanently seal all of those hard-to-clean grout lines for ease of future cleaning care and maintenance. No more difficult kneeling and scrubbing with a toothbrush trying to get the dirt, dust and stains out of the grout!

Fireplace Refinishing

While the majority of tile refinishing is done in kitchens and bathrooms, those are not the only rooms where tile can be refinished. Tile refinishing can occur in many areas where tile exists- around a fireplace, in a bedroom or living area, tile backsplashes and even some tile floors. Refinishing is a quick and affordable alternative to replacement-making a dramatic change in the look of a space in just two days or less. Only Miracle Method uses Natural Accents® stone-look finishes to give you the beauty of natural stone, without the high-end costs.

Miracle Method Helps You Get Top Dollar When Selling Your Home

By

If you are trying to sell your home and are looking to update your bathroom before you put it on the market, there are a few things you should consider. For starters, you DON’T have to rip out and replace your old tub and sink.  Traditional replacement remodeling is very time consuming and you can expect your bathroom to be out of use for several weeks or even months. Replacement also happens to be very expensive, the average cost of a bathroom remodel can ranges between $5,000 and $10,000.  If you’re looking for a remodeling solution that’s flexible, time-efficient and affordable, avoid any process that involves removal and replacement.

At Miracle Method, we can take any worn, damaged, hard to clean unit, and repair and refinish it, adding 10 – 15 years to the life of the fixture and make it look like new.  Not only is refinishing/repairing a bathtub or sink much less expensive than replacing it, but it is also much greener, keeping the excess tub or sink out of a landfill.

Realtors around the country  know that bathrooms and kitchens in a home can make or break a sale.  Homeowners are encouraged  to make these upgrades, as it adds significant value to the home. Notably, HGTV’s Lisa LaPorta from Designed to Sell tells viewers that “Tub refinishing is a great improvement to make, and it saves you a lot of money in labor because you don’t have to pay someone to rip out your old bathtub.”

If you are looking to get top dollar when your selling your home without spending the big bucks give Miracle Method a call 855-212-7337.

We’re off to New York for the Annual IHMRS

By

This is our fourth year to attend the IHMRS, and we’re proud to be their premier provider of surface finishing services!  IHMRS Logo

The International Hotel, Motel and Restaurant Show (IHMRS) is the hospitality and tourism industry’s largest and most comprehensive trade show. It attracts owners, operators, and buyers from every hospitality sector around the world.

This year, the IHMRS is anticipating an estimated 16,000 attendees—many of them looking for remodeling and designs that enrich their guest’s experience while enhancing their bottom line.

And that’s what we do best!

We will demonstrate how our process saves both time and money while solving a lot of the most common problems facing hotels and motels, resorts, country clubs, and military lodging today:

  • Worn bathtubs
  • Surrounds
  • Damaged vanities

We can restore a room to service in as little as 3 days, instead of weeks for removing and replacing tile. And we permanently seal tile grout, making it mold- and mildew-resistant and easier to maintain long term.

We expect a great turnout and believe that this show will further establish Miracle Method as a leader in the hospitality and tourism industry.

The IHMRS will be held this year at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City, NY, November 9 – 11.

And, with more than 135 offices across the US and Canada, Miracle Method can provide its services to virtually any hotel, motel, or restaurant.  To learn more about Miracle Method, visit http://www.miraclemethod.com/commercial, or call 855-212-7337.
