We Were Green Before Green was Popular…

By

Over the past several years, there has been great emphasis in the building industry on going green and incorporating products and materials into new and existing structures that have little to no impact on the environment. While the idea of going green is still a relatively new concept to some, it is nothing new to Miracle Method.

Miracle Method was green before green was popular! We have been “recycling” through our refinishing process for over 30 years by restoring all types of tubs, tile showers, vanities, sinks, and even kitchen countertops. By refinishing, we can extend the useful life of most bath and kitchen fixtures by 15 years or more. This not only allows consumers to get more use out of their fixtures, but refinishing also reduces the amount of unnecessary waste that ends up in landfills.

The National Association of the Remodeling Industry estimates that a typical remodeling project produces between 70 and 115 pounds of waste per square foot. With surface refinishing from Miracle Method, you can significantly decrease the amount of waste generated from your project, which also contributes to a better environment. In addition, Miracle Method avoids using toxic acids commonly used by other refinishers. To learn more about our unique refinishing processes, please check out our website at http://www.miraclemethod.com.

Go green with your remodel by refinishing instead of replacing!

How does tile shower and shower pan refinishing work?

Before and after tile shower refinishing

Before and after tile shower refinishing from Miracle Method.

Shower pans can become stained for many reasons, including years and years of mineral build-up. If your shower pan is stained and it seems like you’ve tried everything you can to get it clean without success, don’t replace it, consider hiring Miracle Method to refinish it!

Refinishing a tile shower and shower pan is similar to refinishing a bathtub in that it includes multiple steps. The first step involves a  cleaning process to remove contaminants such as soap scum, body oil and dirt. The next step is to float the grout. This entails using a squeegee to evenly spread a small amount of grout over the surface to fill in gaps and even out grout lines. Then the tile is cleaned, a bonding agent is applied and several coats of hi-tech acrylic are used to finalize the refinishing.

You can go from an old, stained shower pan and outdated tile to a shower that not only looks like new, but is much easier to clean!  Another unique benefit of refinishing tile showers and tile shower pans is that once refinished, the tile grout lines are also refinished and permanently sealed so no more scrubbing stained and moldy grout lines!  To find the nearest Miracle Method location use our store locator, or call 855-212-7337.

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.

Fortunately, you can rest easy when it comes to your bathroom remodeling dreams, because Miracle Method is an environmentally-friendly solution! 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!

Celebrate Earth Day by Choosing the Greener Solution: Surface Refinishing

By

globeEarth Day is fast approaching, and we at Miracle Method pride ourselves on being a green company. “We were ‘green’ before being green became popular,” said Chuck Pistor, President of Miracle Method, “we’ve been effectively recycling bath and kitchen fixtures for over 30 years!”

We know that traditional home remodeling can be a costly, major source of waste, which is why we advocate surface refinishing as a much more environmentally friendly and less expensive alternative to replacement.

Much of what we do in surface refinishing uses the recycling adage “reduce, reuse, recycle.”  By refinishing a bathtub, kitchen countertop, tile wall, or other fixture instead of replacing it, we help to “reduce” the amount of waste going into landfills and needlessly wasted energy from the manufacturing and transporting of new materials.  We help consumers “reuse” their bathtubs, tile and countertops they already have instead of buying new ones thereby effectively  “recycling” old fixtures into new fixtures and adding an additional 15 or more years to the lives of their bathtubs, showers, or countertops.

Pistor says it best, “Homeowners will even save up to 75% over replacement costs while contributing to a better environment.”

The nation’s largest surface refinishing network with 125 offices committed to the finest quality surface refinishing and providing its customers with beautiful, durable and affordable green remodeling options, Miracle Method is helping to lead the way towards a greener, brighter future.
