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.

Don’t Replace Outdated Cultured Marble Countertops—Refinish Them

By

There was a time when we were enthralled with cultured marble. The drama created by its bright colors. The vivid mock-marble swirling. But now, some of it just looks outdated. Tile Bathroom Before After

Before you replace it, think about the benefits of cultured marble refinishing instead.

What is surface refinishing?

Surface refinishing takes an old or outdated fixture or surface and updates it with a contemporary new finish:

  • Restoring an outdated finish so it looks modern and brand new
  • Completely covering up old and unsightly stains

The Miracle Method process uses the proprietary MM-4 bonding agent to ensure that your new countertop will be able to withstand the wear and tear of daily life.  Plus, it works on a variety of surfaces to give you a uniform finish:

  • Countertops
  • Sinks
  • Bathtubs
  • Showers
  • Ceramic Tile
