Spruce up your guest bath (shower, bathtub and vanity) in time for summer guests!

By

Summer has officially begun, which means the summer traveling season in now in full-swing. Like many of us, you will be playing host to family and friends at various points throughout the summer, whether it’s for a quick weekend visit or for a week’s worth of fun. In preparation, you’re getting your house ready, cleaning the guest rooms and bathrooms and it’s then that you notice the guest bath is in need of a makeover… but there’s no time for a remodel.

Miracle Method can help you spruce up your bathroom before your summer guests arrive. We refinish bathtubs, showers, and vanities to a like-new look and feel for a fraction of the cost of a remodel or removal and replacement, and best of all, most jobs can be completed in two days or less. Whether your tub needs a new color, your tile surround needs updating, your vanity refreshed to match, or a dingy shower restored to its original sparkle, Miracle Method can get your home ready for guests in no time and for less than you’d expect.

Before: An ugly, stained, and dated pink makes this tub the eyesore of a guest bathroom.

After: The tub shines in a beautiful glossy white thanks to Miracle Method.

Does rust in my bathtub mean that it needs to be replaced? What can I do?

By

Rust happens… and when it does, it’s unsightly and probably unhealthy. It not only looks bad, but is certainly embarrassing when guests come over. So you search the internet and most solutions involve expensive replacement and you really don’t have the time or budget for a messy removal and the expense and time a plumber would take. You also consider a bathtub liner, but they cost as much as a new tub, and you’ve heard that they have a bad reputation for water leaks between the old tub and the new liner. When discussing the dilemma with your neighbor, she tells you of her similar experience and how Miracle Method solved the problem.

Everyday Miracle Method refinishes bathtubs like yours to a like-new look and feel for thousands of homeowners. How is it done? First, our technicians will thoroughly clean your tub with specially formulated cleaners to rid it of mineral deposits, soap scum, body oils, and yes, even rust. Then, any cracks or chips will be repaired and after that, our proprietary bonding agent, MM-4, will be applied to ensure a solid bond between the old and new finishes. Finally, our fine-finish spray process is used to apply a hi-tech, durable acrylic coating. Your tub will look like new and its usable life will be extended by 15 years – all at a fraction of the cost of replacement or adding a liner.

Before: Rust damage surrounds this drain.

After: No evidence of rusting to be found!

You don’t need to replace a rusted bathtub! Visit the Miracle Method website to learn more about our bathtub refinishing process. You can use our online locator or call 855-212-7337 to connect with a franchise near you.

Military Experience is a Great Match for Miracle Method Franchise Ownership

By

Many of our Miracle Method franchise owners haven’t had previous experience as business owners, however, the discipline and leadership skills learned in the military can parlay into running a successful business. That is the case with our St. Louis franchise owner, Terry Kavanaugh. Terry is a former design engineer and a retired U.S. Navy jet mechanic and was looking to invest in an opportunity with a solid history and a great support system. He learned about Miracle Method when searching the internet for business opportunities and decided to investigate the company’s concept in depth.

Terry believed there was a demand in St. Louis for refinishing bathtubs, countertops, and tile in both residential and commercial properties. Intrigued with the opportunity, he spent a lot of time talking to other Miracle Method franchisees before he decided to become a franchise owner. He says it was the support from the national office “that every franchise verified that led me to buy my Miracle Method franchise.” That support combined with Terry’s military experience has given him the skills necessary to build a successful Miracle Method franchise. Since opening his franchise in 2003, Terry’s franchise has seen tremendous growth. He plans to open a showroom this year and is on target to exceed last year’s sales.

The training, experience, and leadership skills one gains during military service are great preparation for owning a Miracle Method franchise, regardless of whether or not you have prior experience in owning a business. Additionally, Miracle Method is proud to honor our service men and women by discounting our franchise fee by 10 percent.

If you have served in our nation’s military and are looking for a fabulous business opportunity, owning a Miracle Method franchise could be the perfect match for you. Please visit our website for more information or contact us at 800-444-8827. We look forward to speaking with you!

Easy Step Bathroom Safety Package Makes Bathrooms Safer for Aging Parents

By

The summer vacation season is often a time in which we head out to visit family members who live out of town. Adult children often use some of their summer vacation time to visit their parents who they may only see a time or two a year. Sadly, this is usually the time in which they notice that mom or dad isn’t getting around as well as they once did. Their parents’ safety and how they navigate their home, especially the bathroom, becomes a concern. Something must be done in order to ensure the safety of our parents when we can’t be there.

Since most senior adults want to live in their own homes for as long as they possibly can, one option would be to remodel the bathroom to accommodate a parent’s needs. However, remodels are costly, messy, and time consuming, and most senior citizens live on a limited budget and can’t wait for weeks or months on a renewed bathroom space to be installed. A quicker, more cost-effective solution is necessary.

Miracle Method has just the solution adult children and their parents are looking for – an Easy Step Bathroom Safety Package, which includes the Easy Step tub-to-shower conversion, grab bars, and the application of a slip resistant surface. The Easy Step tub-to-shower conversion creates an opening in the side of a tub that will allow bathers to step through the side of the tub, instead of over it, which can significantly reduce the risk of loss of balance and falls. It can be installed with or without a door depending on the needs of the homeowners. The ADA-approved grab bars and slip resistant surface will also help prevent accidents and injuries due to slips and falls.

Before: The wall of the tub was difficult to step over, which could cause one to fall.

After: The Easy Step conversion and grab bars make getting into and out of the tub easier and safer.

With an Easy Step Bathroom Safety Package from Miracle Method, your parents can bathe easier and safer, and they’ll be able to stay in their own home for much longer. You’ll have peace of mind in knowing they can better take care of themselves.

If you and your parents are interested in learning more about Miracle Method’s Easy Step Bathroom Safety Package, please use our online locator or call 855-212-7337 to locate a franchise near you.

Buying or Selling a Home This Summer? Update it with Surface Refinishing from Miracle Method!

By

Early summer is often a time in which real estate sales increase a bit. Many homeowners choose to relocate during this time of year because the kids are on a break from school. Those looking to sell their homes usually like to make a few improvements to give their homes a facelift, and buyers sometimes purchase a home that could stand some updates in order to get a great price. Most often, sellers and buyers alike choose to update the kitchen or bath since those spaces can make a sale and help increase a home’s value.

If you’re planning to sell your home and need to make some updates or are purchasing a home with a less than stellar kitchen or bath, there’s no need for a costly and time consuming remodel. Surface refinishing from Miracle Method can change the color of an ugly green bathtub, seal ugly tile grout lines, or update kitchen countertops in just one day! We can refinish your kitchen countertops or bathroom fixtures to a like-new look and feel with a high-gloss finish in a variety of colors, including our Natural Accents™ stone-look finish.

Before: A plain, boring laminate kitchen countertop.

After: The same laminate countertop transformed with a Natural Accents™ finish and a bullnose edge.

If you’re looking to sell your home this summer and your bathtub’s seen better days, or if you bought a home with a kitchen covered in outdated tile, visit the Miracle Method website to see what we can do to update your space in just one day.
