Leslie Gaye and her husband, Moctar, were looking for an investment opportunity that suited their skill set. With the help of a franchise broker, the two looked at eight investment opportunities and researched all of them. After a thorough analysis process, they knew that Miracle Method was the absolute right choice. The two recently opened Miracle Method of Northeast Georgia and couldn’t be happier with their decision.

“As we were researching information on different franchises, we wanted to find one that could provide us with an opportunity to do something we liked,” Gaye said. “We looked at the list of possibilities and did our research, but we just knew right away that Miracle Method was the one for us.”

Franchising was a new concept for the Gayes—they worked in corporate America before joining Miracle Method. Leslie served as a technical support analyst for 15 years and Moctar had been working with an aerospace company for more than 10 years. They saw Miracle Method as an opportunity to not only to go into business for themselves, but as a way to help their community with their remodeling needs.

“One of the things that interested us about the brand is the fact that we can make kitchens and bathrooms look new again,” Leslie said. “With Miracle Method, you can save customers a lot of money and time to get the kitchen or the bathroom of their dreams. We don’t have to break down walls or replace fixtures, all we have to do is remove blemishes and update colors. It’s fantastic for not only customers, but for us as well.”

Miracle Method’s unique refinishing process saves customers up to 75 percent over the cost of a replacement, and most jobs are completed in two to three days. Its affordable and unique refinishing process has made the brand a leader in the bathroom remodeling industry for more than 37 years.

The dynamic brand is always looking to bring new franchisees into the system. Miracle Method’s immersive 20 days of training reviews how to start the business, while acclimating franchisees with the industry. The brand helps franchisees create a marketing plan and provides advertising tools – including a local website, as well as national advertising. Prospective franchisees should expect their investment to be around $100,000.

Leslie said she couldn’t have asked for more in terms of a brand to invest in. The couple only has one unit open at this time, but would like to add more in the future. She went on to say that Miracle Method has been a worthwhile investment and encourages all potential entrepreneurs to give it a look.

“If you have ever dreamed of having your own business, please go for it. We have dreamed about it for years, but thought it could never happen and we feel going into business with Miracle Method was the best decision we ever made,” Leslie said.

Since the beginning, the Simmons’ Marietta-based franchise has done a number of jobs across the North Metro Atlanta area, spanning from Paulding to Gwinnett counties. Outside of residential work, much of their works has been has been for hospitals, schools, universities and hotels.
