How Eco-Friendly Is Your Remodel?

By

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-refinishingWe’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.

A Better Alternative to Bathtub Liners

By

Simply put, bathtub liners are sheets of PVC plastic or acrylic which are molded to the shape of a tub, placed over your existing tub, and then glued down to cover it up.  Why trade the deep gloss of refinished porcelain tub for the look and feel of plastic.  By refinishing your bathtub you can avoid the various pitfalls associated with a meager bathtub liner. Choosing Miracle Method to handle your bathtub refinishing project is both affordable in the short-term as well as more beneficial over the long term.

Instead of numerous employees handling different stages of the bathtub liner installation process — something that could take weeks when all is said and done — a Miracle Method certified technician can complete the entire transformation in just two days.

More importantly, when utilizing an inferior solution like a bathtub liner, cracks or leaks are likely to develop over time. This can cause problems like mold, damaged plumbing, or a “squishy” texture in the entire tub. While certainly unpleasant, these consequences can also lead to serious health problems for you and your family.

Why take risks? Ensure both the safety of yourself and your family, as well as the future of your bathroom, by contacting Miracle Method. With over 34 years of proven experience as the nation’s largest surface refinisher, Miracle Method has successfully repaired and refinished tubs, tile, and countertops for over 1 million satisfied customers.

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.

Get the Beautiful Look of Stone With Natural Accents

By

A bathroom or kitchen with a natural stone look finish speaks volumes in terms of great interior design. You can get that look without spending a bundle either. If you are interested in remodeling your bathroom, you should consider ceramic tile refinishing as an affordable alternative.

Before

Ceramic tile refinishing is especially beautiful with the Natural Accents line from Miracle Method. There are many different colors and textures to choose from. You can even apply it directly to laminate, worn tiles, marble, or even fiberglass. The cost for the stone look finish using Natural Accents is significantly less than using real granite and is a much better quality than a Corian style counter top. The application process is fairly simple and only takes between 48 – 72 hours for the bond to become permanent. One of the great things about Natural Accents is that the finish can be applied to bathtub tiles, tile floors, as well as counter tops. After the stone look finish is applied, you end up with a durable surface that can withstand heat and is even scratch resistant. If it does get damaged for any reason, it is also easy to repair.

By taking the Natural Accents route, you can create a fantastic contrast in materials and colors that looks like it cost a fortune, but in reality, only cost a fraction of what others would expect. You can have the kitchen, floors, and bathroom of your dreams thanks to Natural Accents from Miracle Method.
