Update your countertops with a new color and a bullnose edge

By

Your home was a bit over ten years old when you purchased it a few years ago and you knew there were a few areas that would eventually need some improvement, especially  the kitchen. You refaced your kitchen cabinets not too long after moving in and wanted to replace the countertops next.   The color, scratches in the laminate, and the straight edges all seemed to make the space look extremely dated. Unfortunately, you had a few unexpected expenses come up and had to dip into your countertop fund to take care of them. Now you’re hosting several holiday gatherings and really want to find a way to update your countertops quickly and without breaking the bank.

As you search the internet, you land on the Miracle Method Surface Refinishing website, where you discover that Miracle Method can refinish your countertops to a like-new look and feel for a fraction of the cost of replacement, and without the mess! The site explains the company can apply their Natural Accents® stone-look finish and have your countertops guest-ready in two days or less.    Even better, you learn that Miracle Method can add a bull nose profile  to your laminate countertops to give them a real, solid surface look!

Before: A damaged and dated laminate countertop.

After: The laminate countertop has been repaired and refinished, as well as updated with a new bullnose edge.

Colleges and Universities are turning to Miracle Method

By

A growing number of college and university facility managers are turning Miracle Method to update community bathrooms and residence hall showers.  Our refinishing process is saving these institutions thousands of dollars in replacement costs and stretching capital replacement budgets.    They are learning about Miracle Method at college facility manager conferences, from references and articles in facility manager trade magazines.

Exhibiting at conferences has allowed us to not only show college facility managers what we do, but also demonstrate the effectiveness of the Miracle Method process. Don Dominick, Miracle Method’s VP of Business Development, stated in a press release the most common response from facility managers is “’I didn’t know you could do that.’ The second response we hear is ‘when can you come to our campus.’” He also explained that the Miracle Method process is a more affordable and durable alternative to removal and replacement of leaky shower pans, dated tile and damaged countertops, especially since it is less time consuming. “Facility managers work in tight windows, often on holidays and summer breaks. The job starts the day students leave and must be completed before they return.”

Before: Eighteen residence hall bathrooms at a University of North Carolina residence hall in desperate need of a tile update.

After: Miracle Method refinished the floor, wall, and shower tile, including an accent stripe.

College facility managers looking to learn more about Miracle Method’s solutions for residence halls can find it by visiting www.miraclemethod.com/collegehousing  or by connecting with a local franchise by calling 855-212-7337.

Miracle Method – The Solution for Leaking Hotel Bathtub Liners

By

Miracle Method’s surface refinishing services are not just a solution for homeowners.  We are the preferred refinisher for hotels too.  For over 32-years, we’ve restored bathtubs, shower pans, vanities and countertops for every major hotel brand.

Take our work at the Milwaukee Hilton Hotel for example. Many of the hotel’s bathtubs were worn-out and discolored after many years of use. Bathtub liners were originally installed in 500 units in the facility, but within two years, water had seeped through between the tubs and liners in many of the units, creating a squishy feeling when guests stepped on them. The trapped water was also becoming stagnant and causing foul odors. Additionally, the liners that had been installed were no longer glossy in appearance.

The hotel had two options – tear out the liners and replace the tubs altogether, a costly solution that would disrupt the hotel’s daily operations; or remove the liners and restore the original tubs through refinishing.

After comparing the options, the decision was made to have Miracle Method remove the 500 liners and restore the original tubs, which included repairing the subsequent chips, cracks, and scratches. We followed this with a thorough cleaning, disinfecting, repairing, and bonding process before applying the new finish. We also applied a Slip Resistant Surface to reduce slip and fall liability. The project was completed in two phases to accommodate the hotel’s schedule.

Our work at the Milwaukee Hilton Hotel was completed on time and on budget, and the hotel’s bathrooms looked and felt like new again!

If you are a commercial property manager looking for a way to restore damaged or outdated bathtubs, look no further than Miracle Method.
