Military Communities: Manage COM Costs & Schedules with Miracle Method

By

All military community developers and managers have one challenge in common—managing Change of Occupancy Maintenance (COM) costs and schedules.military-housing-image

Whether it’s a damaged countertop, stained vanity, or worn and damaged bathtub and surround, it’s usually kitchens and bathrooms that require upgrades and repairs. But renovations can be slow, messy, and expensive.

Miracle Method can save you money, time, and a lot of mess by refinishing the existing surfaces instead of replacing them. And, our finishes are guaranteed against peeling and adhesion failure.

Fast

We can generally complete a project in about 24 to 48 hours, so you get families into new housing quickly. 

Affordable

Surface refinishing can cost up to 75% less than replacing fixtures—no replacement expenses, no hidden delivery fees, and no cleanup and repair costs.

Military Compliant

We understand stringent military guidelines—insurance requirements, safety regulations, professionalism, and background checks. 

Ecofriendly

We don’t tear anything out and take it to the dump, so surface refinishing is “greener” than removal and replacement.

Miracle Method has 135 franchises and a Nationwide Commercial Services Team that’s ready to mobilize at a moment’s notice. To learn more about how we can keep your COM costs down, call 855-212-7337, or find us online at www.miraclemethod.com/commercial.

What Can You Do With Ugly Tile Walls?

By

Your bathroom is a place where you rejuvenate, relax and refresh. It’s a room you should love. So, what do you do if you don’t love your ugly tile walls?  What do you do with tile with outdated colors, grout lines that are cracked, stained, or moldy? White Tile Before After

You can tear out the existing tile and replace it with something else, but that’s messy, time-consuming and expensive.

At Miracle Method Surface Refinishing, we have a quick, clean, and affordable option for you. Don’t retile your walls. Instead, have the existing tile refinished.

With the Miracle Method process, we will transform your bath by creating a sparkling, like-new look and feel:

  1. First, we use a two-step cleaning process to remove any dirt, oil, and other residue from the tile walls.
  2. We repair any cracked or damage tile.
  3. Then, we “float” additional grout over the existing grout, if necessary, to fill any voids and create a smoother appearance.
  4. Once the grout is dry, we clean the tiles again and apply our MM-4 bonding agent to ensure that the new finish will adhere to the old.
  5. Finally, we apply our hi-tech acrylic coatings to produce a smooth, durable, even finish.

Miracle Method offers an extensive collection of colors and textures to choose from, including our Natural Accents™ stone finishes, so you can perfectly match your bathroom décor. Refinishing tile walls also permanently seals the grout, eliminating the need to clean or  regularly seal it.

Why bother with messy and expensive removal and replacement of ugly tile and grout when Miracle Method can refinish them quickly, affordably, and beautifully?

To learn more about our process, please visit our website at www.miraclemethod.com or give us a call at 855-212-7337 for more information. Your Miracle Method professional can offer the best pricing if you have both the bathtub and tile walls refinished at the same time. We can even finish the bathtub and walls in contrasting colors.

The grout lines in my tile vanity are permanently stained. How do I get them clean?

By

You’ve had your vanity for several years, and although it is in great shape structurally, its appearance isn’t too fabulous. Over the years, dirt and dust, soap residue, hair spray residue, and the likes have found their way onto your vanity and into your grout lines, and no matter how hard you scrub with those cleaning products that promise to remove the most set-in stains, you can’t get them clean. You finally start to think about whether or not you should just replace the whole thing.

Before you replace, there’s another option to consider that will save you time and money – bathroom vanity refinishing by Miracle Method. Our refinishing process is usually completed in one day and typically saves our customers up to 75% over the cost of removal and replacement. The process includes repairing damage and restoring your vanity to a like-new look and feel. We will permanently seal your grout lines, making them easy to keep clean, and can even change the color of your grout lines if you wish. In just a few days, you’ll have a sparkling new vanity that will transform the look of your entire bathroom.

 

Before: Vanity grout lines are hard to keep clean.

After: The vanity looks like new and best of all, the grout lines have been permanently sealed, making them easier to maintain.

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

By

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.
