Business is booming for Miracle Method, the nation’s largest professional bathroom and kitchen refinishing franchise. Americans are spending more money on interior upgrades than they have in recent years, and the brand is on pace to bring in more than $60 million in revenue in 2016. However, that success isn’t solely due to Miracle Method’s consumer business. The brand is also growing because of its commercial clients.

Miracle Method’s national accounts team is constantly working to develop new business for its franchisees. And during the summer months, a large portion of that business comes from completing projects on college campuses across the country. The brand’s services are a perfect match for colleges looking to make upgrades to their academic buildings and residence hall restrooms—Miracle Method can completely refinish—and update restroom tile floors, walls and even partitions and vanities before students are even thinking about returning to their campuses.

“It comes down to the fact that we offer a viable alternative to removal and replacement,” said Don Dominick, Vice President of National Accounts for Miracle Method. “Take the University of Colorado for example— this summer, the restrooms in a 26-year-old academic building needed to be redone. A contractor said that for $70,000, they could replace the tile in two bathrooms in three weeks. We refinished the tile floors in all nine bathrooms in just two weeks for $31,000, which is exactly why our business at colleges is growing.”

Miracle Method has the expertise and capacity through its franchisees to do work on any college campus in any city. However, the brand spent years building up that strong reputation. Now, Miracle Method exhibits nationally and regionally at college facility manager conferences and advertises in Facilities Manager, a trade journal for college physical plant managers. Today, Miracle Method is recognized as the leader and innovator in surface refinishing by colleges and universities across the country.

This summer alone, Miracle Method has completed projects on more than 60 college campuses. And right now, 42 percent of the brand’s total revenue comes from commercial accounts. Four or five years ago, that number was hovering between the 17 and 20 percent marks.

“Every single refinishing project we successfully complete on a college campus opens the door for more. When college representatives call other universities that have used Miracle Method for a reference, they’ll be reassured that when they work with us, they’re getting the best possible quality and service,” said Dominick.

Both franchisees and the brand’s corporate team work together to secure these jobs on college campuses. When the brand recruits or is approached by a university, it reaches out to local franchisees in the area to do the work. And when franchisees sign their own deals with local colleges, the corporate team assists them from bid to completion.

One franchisee who has been on both sides of that process is Brian Weber, who owns Miracle Method’s Boulder, Colorado location. He says the commercial work has been invaluable to his business, which is why he’s pursuing more projects for his franchise.

“Working on college campuses is absolutely boosting my business’ momentum. It’s gotten to the point where I can employ two more people on my team because of how much work these commercial jobs are providing for us,” said Weber. “I’m excited to keep working with Don and the rest of the corporate team to add more of these college jobs to my line up.”

So this fall, as students across the country prepare to return to school, many will find themselves returning to beautifully updated facilities, thanks to Miracle Method.

Qualified Remodeler, the leader in media for best practices, news, design inspiration and insight for the remodeling and home improvement industry has just released the nation’s Top 500 list of the largest remodeling firms in 2016. Miracle Method debuted on the list this year as number 32, a public recognition of the surface refinishing franchise’s tremendous growth in the past few years.

The companies listed on the Top 500 Remodelers 2016 collectively produced $8.53 billion in gross revenue in 2015, an increase of $970 million up from the year prior. Industry experts predict that trend to continue with the remodeling and retro-fit for homes and commercial properties only expected to rise as consumers look for affordable ways to upgrade rather than build new.

Miracle Method has been in business since 1976 and franchising since 1979. Surface refinishing is a unique process in which the existing surface is prepped, cleaned and refinished with a durable, long lasting finish. The new finish provides a beautiful and non-porous surface for ease of maintenance and care. Miracle Method attributes their growth to diversification into large commercial projects and increased consumer awareness due to the benefits of surface refinishing over replacement. Customers save on average up to 75% over the cost of replacement of kitchen countertops, bathtubs, showers, tile and more without the mess and hassle of traditional replacement.

From residential upgrades to commercial refinishing projects and multiple bathing safety options, the Miracle Method franchise presents a solid business opportunity with multiple streams of revenue. The potential diversity in revenue along with operational and marketing support from the franchisor’s corporate office puts Miracle Method franchisees at a distinct advantage.

John Tubiolo, VP of Franchise Sales and Development said, “Our franchisees are given unparalleled training and support from our marketing, national accounts and operational teams from day one, giving them a strong foundation for success.” In 2016, that success brings YTD revenues for Miracle Method on track to exceed 60 million, a nearly 12% increase over 2015’s record breaking numbers.

“Being recognized in Qualified Remodelers Top 500 is a huge honor for Miracle Method and every franchisee in the Miracle Method network, as it is a direct result of their hard work, dedication and ability to follow our proven system.” Says Tubiolo.

As the refinishing brand continues to experience aggressive growth, it’s looking to expand its network of franchisees. With just over 135 locations in North America, the potential for growth is huge for motivated individuals who want to be part of the largest North American refinishing franchise.

It may be Miracle Method’s first year to appear on the QR Top 500 list, but we are betting it won’t be the last.
