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.

Updating baths and kitchens is always in demand

By

In the current state of the economy, many homeowners are making improvements to make their homes more enjoyable instead of building or purchasing a new one. It’s a given fact that updating bathrooms and kitchens is currently in demand – as it always has been – and that means homeowners are searching for professionals to help them with their improvement projects.

The fact that budgets are tighter and people are  looking to save money any way they can means the refinishing business gets better for Miracle Method franchises at times like these. Not only does refinishing save up to 75% over typical replacement costs, but many homeowners appreciate the quick and hassle-free results of refinishing.

There has never been a better time to own a refinishing franchise. Refinishing provides the value proposition to updating baths and kitchens when compared to replacement. There are many other advantages to owning a Miracle Method franchise. For example, a Miracle Method franchise has a lower upfront cost than the average fast food or retail franchise. There’s also limited competition in surface refinishing and tons of untapped potential, as estimates have revealed that only about 20% of the public is aware of the benefits of refinishing. As a matter of fact, every home, hotel, and apartment is a potential customer for refinishing services. Plus, the top Miracle Method franchisees typically generate annual sales ranging between $600,000 to over $1 million!

There’s always a demand for updating the bath or kitchen.

Regardless of the state of the economy, people will always be interested in improving their baths and kitchens, and owning a Miracle Method franchise means your services will always be in demand. To learn more about owning a Miracle Method franchise, visit our website or call 855-212-7337.

Pros and Cons of Granite Countertops

By

Granite countertops have become quite common in high-end homes over the years. Granite comes in a variety of color options and with so many unique patterns, granite countertops easily become the focal point of kitchen remodels. This natural stone product is also quite durable, which is another reason so many remodelers and interior designers like to use it.

However, granite is a rather expensive material that can cause the price of a kitchen remodel to skyrocket. There’s very little room for error when working with granite, and granite countertops require regular maintenance and care to ensure that they continue to look good.

If you find yourself debating whether or not to choose granite countertops for your kitchen, take a look at some of the pros and cons of granite countertops to help you make your decision.

Pros

  • Granite is heat resistant.
  • It is also resistant to cuts and scratches.
  • Natural stone patterns create a one-of-a-kind look.

Cons

  • Granite is a porous material, meaning there are small holes in this material that are prone to harboring bacteria.
  • Granite requires regular sealing.
  • Granite is the most expensive option compared to other countertop materials.
  • Granite can be stained or discolored by common items such as citric juices.
  • It can be difficult to match the seams between the slabs of granite.
  • Granite is difficult to repair if damaged which can leave costly replacement as the only option.
  • As a natural stone, a few granite varieties contain high levels of radiation and radon.

For those who have determined that granite isn’t the right option for their kitchen, Miracle Method offers a cost-effective alternative called Natural Accents. This high-tech coating offers the wonderful look of stone that many desire, but without the expense and maintenance that granite requires. Visit our website to learn more about this great alternative for your countertops.
