Beautiful Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling Alternatives in Corpus Christi

“We can take your old, stained bathtub and make it look like new again. The nice thing about refinishing is you can not only change the color of your existing tile, but it seals all the grout lines, meaning no mold, no mildew and it’s easy to clean. You’re only out of your bathroom for a couple of days, it’s a fraction of the cost of replacement and it looks and feels beautiful,” said Eddie Naro, Owner of Miracle Method of Corpus Christi.

In addition to refinishing and repairing bathtubs, countertops, ceramic tile, showers and floors, Miracle Method of Corpus Christi also provides several bathing safety solutions. Modifications like grab bars, hand-held shower nozzles and a slip resistant surface allow the aging population or those with limited mobility to remain in their homes longer. By far the most popular safety feature is Miracle Method’s Easy Step®, a 24” wide by 9” tall step installed in the side of existing bathtubs to make a safe and easy to access walk-in shower without ever replacing the bathtub or tile.

“If you have a steel, cast iron, fiberglass, acrylic or cultured marble bathtub you can no longer use, we can easily convert it into a walk-in shower, which makes it much easier to step in and out of the tub without having to worry about slipping and falling. We can also install grab bars and a slip resistant surface,” Naro said.

Miracle Method Franchisee Swaps Corporate America for Entrepreneurship

By

After rising through the ranks of corporate America for the past 27 years, franchisee Jim Kenney is finally able to live out his lifelong dream of business ownership with Miracle Method, the leading professional kitchen and bathroom refinishing franchise. A third-generation handyman, Kenney’s father served as a union carpenter working in Massachusetts his entire life, ultimately passing his love of woodworking and craftsmanship to his son. Kenney Sr. wanted a more secure life for his son, and urged him to go to college rather than follow in his footsteps as a handyman.

Miracle Method Franchisee Swaps Corporate America for Entrepreneurship

Honoring his father’s wishes, Kenney earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing and economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst before going on to earn an MBA in marketing from Western New England University. Though Kenney found much success in his career by working as a product marketing manager for major corporations spanning nearly three decades, he never lost the desire to strike out on his own.

“I’ve been woodworking since I was about seven-years old, doing all sorts of stuff,” said Kenney. “I’ve always had a passion for carpentry because of my dad. My first job at 14 was helping my neighbors build decks all summer–we’d construct decks, install windows and roofs. That’s the money I used to put myself through college. I earned my degree and worked 27 years in the corporate world, but had always wanted to go back into something I was passionate about.”

When Kenney began considering different business ownership opportunities three years ago, he remembered an experience that he had with Miracle Method almost two decades ago. Trying to remodel his entire kitchen and bathroom by himself, Kenney found the project to be more overwhelming than he expected. That’s when an acquaintance suggested he call on Miracle Method to assist with the remodel. Initially skeptical, he was eventually won over by the phenomenal job the franchise did.

In 2016, Kenney saw that an existing Miracle Method business that had been open for 30 years was for sale. After speaking with the team and looking at all of his options, he purchased the business in December of 2016. Start-up costs for Miracle Method are low for prospective franchisees looking to join the system, with initial investments ranging from $82,125 to $136,850.

“We’re very excited that Jim has joined the Miracle Method team,” says John Tubiolo, Miracle Method’s Vice President of Franchise Sales and Development. “His years of business experience coupled with his lifelong affinity for working with his hands make him a great fit. We’re confident he will continue to grow the Miracle Method brand in Massachusetts and provide his community with quality work.”

Going forward, Kenney plans to make Miracle Method an integral part of his Massachusetts community. And while running his own business takes a lot of hard work, he says it’s absolutely worth it in the end.

“I wanted to secure my own destiny and that’s why I took this leap,” said Kenney. “I’m not getting any younger, and it’s getting harder and harder to find another job in corporate America. Now’s the time to make the move. I’ve been looking for a unique, recession-proof opportunity that allows me to use my hands. And after a career working for both small businesses and Fortune 500 corporations, Miracle Method is the perfect opportunity.”

Experienced Entrepreneur Brings the Miracle Method Brand to Brooklyn, New York

By

Eddie Moleros has a diverse background in business ownership that fuels his entrepreneurial drive. After working in the IT industry for 10 years, he decided to break out on his own and launched several businesses over the course of the next decade—most notably, Moleros started a food distribution company that he scaled and ultimately sold. When it came time for him to figure out his next move, he looked to pursue a franchise opportunity backed by a proven business model.

Experienced Entrepreneur Brings the Miracle Method Brand to Brooklyn, New York

Moleros started digging around for unique franchise opportunities when he came across Miracle Method, the nation’s largest professional bathroom and kitchen refinishing franchise. Because the brand’s concept was unlike anything he’d ever seen before, Moleros was immediately intrigued.

“The more I learned about Miracle Method, the more excited I became about its potential for growth and opportunity. There are many other refinishers out there, but they aren’t operating at this level. No other refinishing brand can truly compete with the quality behind our services,” said Moleros. “Demand for Miracle Method’s refinishing services is at an all-time high. People are willing to put money into their homes, but they don’t want to break the bank—especially in an area like New York. That’s where we come in.”

Miracle Method can transform outdated or damaged kitchens and bathrooms for about 75 percent less than the cost of replacement. And with business ramping up at Moleros’ location, the brand is officially making those services available in the Brooklyn market for the first time. Expanding in the previously untapped area gives Miracle Method—and Moleros—the opportunity to capitalize on the borough’s growing population.

“Not only are more families moving in and out of Brooklyn, businesses are also setting up shop there. By establishing ourselves in the area and becoming a part of the local community, we’ll be able to grow both the residential and corporate sides of our business,” said John Tubiolo, Vice President of Franchise Sales and Development for Miracle Method. “The Brooklyn market is wide open territory for us, and we’re looking forward to continue working with franchisees like Eddie in our ongoing efforts to expand across the New York market.”

In addition to offering consumers a simple and affordable alternative to home fixture replacements, Miracle Method also offers its local owners the opportunity to be a part of a proven and growing business model, since 1979. With 25 franchise agreements expected to be signed by the end of 2017, and a strong focus on key development markets like Nevada, Florida, California, Nebraska and Illinois, the brand is positioning itself for rapid growth in the months to come.

Start-up costs are also low for prospective franchisees looking to join the system—initial investments range from $82,125 to $136,850.

“As a franchise owner, Miracle Method makes it easy to get your business off the ground. Everyone on their team is incredibly supportive, and they’re always eager to help you take your daily operations to the next level,” Moleros said. “Even though my first location is just opening its doors for business, I’m already looking to expand. It’s going to be a big year for the Miracle Method in terms of growth, and I’m excited to be a part of it.”

Colorado Springs Business Journal: Mortgage Rates Rise, Create Uncertainty in Healthy Market

By

With a record-breaking year in the local housing market, could an interest rate hike mean stunted growth? Many are concerned rising mortgage rates could stunt Colorado Springs housing market growth, but for locally based national franchise Miracle Method, the housing market has meant a boom in business in their own backyard.

Mortgage Rates Rise, Create Uncertainty in Healthy Market

The refinishing company has been able to grow 15-20 percent over the last few years, working with homeowners looking to update their kitchens and bathrooms in order to sell their home, or who are looking to spruce up a pad they just purchased.

“Buyers will often use it as a negotiating tool,” Miracle Method president Chuck Pistor said to Colorado Springs Business Journal. “And we talk to sellers about dealing with those objections —dealing with the ugly — before it even becomes an objection.”

The same works on the flip side in a sellers market when homeowners are investing more to make their house stand out on the market.
Either way a raise in mortgage rates could signal continued growth for this brand.

“It helps people be more confident that where they are is where they need to stay and invest,” Pistor said. “Flipping and trading up is good for us, but it’s also good for us when people decide to make investments where they are.”
