Get Granite Like Countertops with Natural Accents

By

How amazing do brand new granite countertops look? They offer a unique, yet natural look for your kitchen but are expensive, require frequent maintenance, and can be difficult to repair if they chip or scratch. How can you get that stylish look without the huge expense and hassle of maintenance?  You can join the thousands of satisfied Miracle Method customers with Natural Accents® Stone-Look Finish, a solution that provides better longevity, less hassle, and fits a smaller budget.

Installing new granite countertops should be seriously considered. They are expensive, require special cabinetry, and there is little room for error when matching the slabs together. Granite countertops naturally have tiny holes which can easily trap bacteria making them unsanitary. Granite must be chemically sealed every 1-2 years. If installing a granite countertop sounds more like a hassle than a convenient kitchen upgrade, there are alternatives.

Hiring a Professional vs DIY Countertop Refinishing

By

DIY is super trendy for 2016. Just spend about 5 minutes on Pinterest and you will see everything from DIY cabinet refinishing to installing pallet walls. Often, doing it yourself is a great option – you can not only save money, but you can do it exactly the way you want, rather than relying on someone else to bring your vision to fruition. YouTube and Pinterest are both great resources for step-by-step instructions and videos on DIY projects. There are some projects that are however, not well suited for DIY and refinishing a bathtub or countertop is one of them.

We know, because Miracle Method is often called in the midst of DIY refinishing jobs to save the day. Here are just a few examples of what can go wrong when you attempt to refinish yourself:

Potential problems with DIY refinishing

  • DIY products are simply not of the same quality or durability of the industrial grade products we use.
  • DIY options have no bond between coatings and the original surface, so peeling is a common problem.
  • DIY kits are rolled on and highly susceptible to streaking.
  • DIY coatings dry quickly but they don’t cure quickly, so the smallest items can cause dents.
  • DIY topcoats are often not waterproof and may result in a cloudy appearance in addition to being “soft” and scratched easily.
  • Safety – refinishing chemicals are strong and require use of a respirator – not just a dust mask, most do-it-yourselfers are not equipped with proper safety equipment, increasing their risk of injury or harm.

Professional, Beautiful & Durable Refinishing

Do yourself a huge favor and save yourself a massive headache by using a professional when it comes to refinishing. DIY is just not fun when it wastes time and money on something that won’t last or doesn’t work. Miracle Method’s refinishes can last 15 years and longer with proper care – which is why we have the best warranty in the industry.

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

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.
