How Eco-Friendly Is Your Remodel?

May 6, 2014 By miraclemethod

Did you know that a single home remodeling project can generate between 70 and 115 pounds of waste per square foot?* It’s true. Traditional house renovations are a major contributor to overflowing landfills across the country.

At Miracle Method, we can offer you a green remodeling alternative. Don’t replace—refinish!

miracle-method-countertop-refinishing We’ve been passionate about remodeling without demolition since the company was founded 35 years ago. Refinishing the surfaces of existing tubs, tile surrounds, bathroom vanities or kitchen countertops keeps those fixtures out of a landfill. It also reduces pollution generated by delivery, manufacture, and transportation of new fixtures.

Think about this: If you take all the tubs, tile, countertops and sinks we “recycle” in a single year by refinishing instead of throwing them away, we effectively keep more than 2,145,000 cubic feet of waste out of landfills. That’s the equivalent of more than 186 loaded pickup trucks each day.

Miracle Method Surface Refinishing is the nation’s largest surface refinishing network, with 135 franchises to provide beautiful, durable and affordable green remodeling alternatives. Our process can save 75% over the cost of replacing, and it adds up to 15 years of life to most surfaces. Call today to get started: 855-212-7337.

Winter Break is the Perfect Time to Repair Those Leaky Shower Tiles in College Dorms

October 8, 2013 By miraclemethod

College dorms tend to take a real beating. After all, you have new students moving in every year. The bathrooms in particular suffer enormous wear and tear. After a certain period of time, you’re going to want to improve the bathrooms in your dorms. An outdated and worn down bathroom isn’t going to help convince students to attend your school once they tour them. However, instead of remodeling your dorms’ bathrooms, you should use Miracle Method instead.

Remodeling the bathrooms is an option, but it’s an expensive one, especially when you take into account the number of bathrooms that need to be updated in your dorms. Not to mention that a remodeling project on that scale is going to take quite a bit of time. This is why you should simply consider tile repair and refinishing using Miracle Method instead. Refinishing your bathrooms won’t take long at all – you could get it done during a short student break. Not to mention that it will cost you just a fraction of the price of a remodel. You should also consider the fact that refinishing the bathrooms is more environmentally friendly since you’re continuing to get more use out of your bathroom fixtures, up to 15 more years in some cases, whereas with a remodeling project you’re sending your old fixtures to the landfill.

Find out how you can refinish your dorms’ bathrooms during an upcoming break by contacting us today at Miracle Method.

We use advanced resins and fiberglass refinishing materials to repair any damage that might exist, plus a variety of color and texture options to choose from to make your bathroom look like new.

What can be done with the ugly tile around my bathtub?

September 3, 2011 By miraclemethod

Replacing bathroom tile just because it’s an ugly color, there’s broken tile, or the grout needs repair is quite costly, messy and rather unnecessary.

Think about what it takes to replace tile: it will have to be chiseled off of the wall and the backer board replaced, which is very messy. You will also need to protect the bathtub from any falling tools or tile. It will take a lot of patience and a good tile saw to make sure the tile goes in flush. Furthermore, you must count the time that the bathtub will be out of commission. Why not avoid this headache and call Miracle Method for a free tile refinishing estimate?

With Miracle Method, you can have that that ugly or broken tile and grout refinished to look like new in just two days! We use a process of cleaning the tile, and applying our MM-4 bonding agent along with several hi-tech top coats to give you a durable and beautiful new look. And don’t think you have to just stick to white tile! Miracle Method offers a wide range of colors and finishes including our impressive Natural Accents™ stone look finishes.

Refinishing tile will save you up to 75% over the cost of replacement. If you want to avoid the hassle and expense of replacing your unattractive tile, consider calling Miracle Method at 855-212-7337 or visit our website to find a location near you.
