My vanity is UGLY, what are my replacement options?

By

Whether your vanity is old and outdated, damaged, or just plain UGLY, you know you have to do something about it. An ugly vanity can be quite the eyesore in a bathroom, and it’s time to consider your options to restore beauty to the smallest room in your home.

Replacement is one option, but because replacement requires removing the old vanity, possible replacement of the surrounding wall tile or covering, plumbing work, and then installing the new vanity, replacement could be a rather costly and messy solution.

The good news is there’s a much more affordable option – have Miracle Method refinish your bathroom vanity. Our process will save you up to 75% over removal and replacement and is a great option for laminate, tile, or cultured marble surfaces. We can even refinish your sink… and the entire job will take less than two days!

The Miracle Method refinishing process can extend the useful life of most bathroom fixtures and surfaces 15 years or more. The process includes the repair of any damage, so you’ll have a bathroom vanity that looks and feels like new!

Additionally, we have lots of color and texture options available for bathroom vanity refinishing. You’ll be amazed by our beautiful Natural Accents stone-look finishes, which give a designer appearance to your bathroom vanity.

Why deal with the hassle and expense of replacing your ugly old bathroom vanity when you can refinish? Visit the Miracle Method website to learn more. You can use our online locator to find the franchise closest to you, 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.

Green Bathroom Remodeling With Miracle Method

By

Did you know that among the many benefits of Miracle Method surface restoration, we are also a green remodeling alternative? According to the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), for each square foot of new home construction, between 3 and 5 lbs. of waste is generated. When it comes to remodeling, those numbers jump drastically, up to 75-115 lbs. of waste per square foot. For anyone concerned about the environmental impact of their home improvement projects, those are sobering numbers.

We can restore damaged bathroom fixtures, tile, and even countertops, preventing the need to replace these items and reducing the volume of waste entering our already bloated landfills. We can also change the color of these surfaces, so you don’t have to choose between a wasteful bathroom remodel and living with embarrassingly dated fixtures and tile work. Owners of 1950’s pink bathrooms everywhere,  rejoice!
