Miracle Method Surface Refinishing Blog

Miracle Method, North America’s largest surface refinishing company is reaching new milestones yet again. Climbing the ranks on Qualified Remodeler’s Top 500 list, Miracle Method jumped from #32 to #20 in 2017. This impressive 12 spot increase is a strong reinforcement to the brand’s long-lasting success.

Qualified Remodeler Magazine, a publication centered on the home improvement industry releases an annual ranking known as the Top 500 List to determine the industry’s largest and top performing remodelers in the nation. Serving over 1,100,000 satisfied customers today, it was no surprise that Miracle Method appeared at the top of the list.

“It is an incredible honor to stand among the top 500 remodelers in the nation. We owe it to our hard working and dedication franchisees. And to our support team who are really passionate about helping our franchisees grow their businesses and maximize their full potential,” said Gwyn O’Kane, VP of Franchise Sales and Development.

Since 1979, homeowners and commercial facilities have been calling on Miracle Method for their affordable refinishing services. Surface refinishing is a proprietary process that repairs and restores existing bath and kitchen surfaces to like-new condition without the mess, hassle and extra cost of replacement. And, with industry reports indicating a growing demand for innovative and cost-effective remodeling solutions, the demand for refinishing continues to surge.

In addition to residential and commercial refinishing, Miracle Method offers a variety of affordable bathing safety and accessibility upgrades to the aging population. With multiple revenue streams and a growing presence of over 140 locations in North America, Miracle Method presents a prime franchise opportunity for motivated individuals looking to fast track their dreams of business ownership.

“There are more than 38 years of history and counting behind the brand. By following our proven business model, franchisees can ensure they are on the right track to start and grow their business. Whether it’s advertising, marketing, sales or operational training and guidance, we provide support every step of the way,” said O’Kane.

As the demand for Miracle Method’s refinishing services reaches an all-time high, the team looks forward to continuing the upward growth trend in 2018. The refinishing brand will focus on expanding its North American footprint in key development markets like Nevada, Florida, California, Nebraska, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Illinois.

As Miracle Method continues to build strong momentum in 2017 with the goal of executing 12 franchise agreements in the next 12 months, the brand recently announced the addition of industry veteran Gwyn O’Kane as VP of Franchise Development.

The New Zealand native recently joined the team after spending 20 years of his career in the franchise space, primarily in development roles. Most recently, O’Kane held a business development position at RYCO, before which he was the VP of Franchise development at PIRTEK for more than a decade.

“I found a professional passion in the franchise world where I could support others in achieving the dream of owning their own business and becoming successful entrepreneurs,” O’Kane said.

In his new role with the nation’s largest professional bathroom and kitchen refinishing franchise, O’Kane plans to bring his history and years of industry experience to work with people who want to be in business for themselves, but not by themselves.

When introduced to the Miracle Method concept, O’Kane was blown away by what the brand offers to customers as well as its franchisees.

“One of the things that struck me most as I was exploring Miracle Method was that we are really more of a marketing business that happens to do refinishing,” he said. “To find a franchise opportunity where a new owner comes in and the phone is already ringing with new client requests is incredible.”

Backed by an expert marketing team, Miracle Method fosters business for new franchisees by fielding incoming estimates and service requests during the training period and ensuring that the new business owners launch operations with a custom ad plan for their local market to drive a steady flow of customers.

Through the strong support system that the leading refinishing brand provides its existing and new franchisees, as well as the relatively low-cost investment level offered, O’Kane is motivated to tap into the potential of new markets, where the brand can begin meeting refinishing needs of future residential and commercial clients as well as growing the presence in existing markets.

Throughout the second half of 2017, the brand will focus on growth trajectory in key development markets like Nevada, Florida, California, Nebraska, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Illinois. O’Kane and his team will continue to look for operators who have strong business backgrounds and motivation to provide the service in their local communities.

“We’re proud of the accomplishments of our brand so far this year and know that adding Gwyn to our team will provide additional leadership and strategy needed to grow our franchise program,” said Miracle Method CEO Chuck Pistor. “We’re eager to bring the excellent service we provide to new markets across the U.S. through strong franchisee partnerships as well as build upon our success in markets where we already have a strong presence.”

Every year, thousands of people suffer from slip-and-fall injuries due to slippery surfaces in bathrooms. In the case of seniors or the mobility impaired, even the simple act of stepping over the steep edge of a bathtub without the use of a properly installed grab bar can result in a slip and fall accident.

Miracle Method has long provided bathing safety and accessibility upgrades for customers in their homes. And with the liability for slip-and-fall accidents steadily increasing, Miracle Method franchisees are experiencing a large demand for bathing safety solutions in facilities such as hotels, senior and assisted living centers, apartments, universities, and other public facilities across the country.

For example, Miracle Method franchisees Phil and Dede Panarisi in Indianapolis, Indiana have partnered with several prominent state organizations recently looking to provide safer conditions for guests in their restrooms. Over the summer, the Panarisi’s worked with Spring Mill State Park to provide slip resistant surface updates to bathtubs in the rooms at Spring Mill Inn. They also contributed to remodeling projects in the dorms of Purdue University to ensure safer conditions for students while reducing liability.

Similarly, the demand for the same type of work performed in Indianapolis is up most parts of the country. Kevin Whiting, owner of Miracle Method of Pueblo, Colorado, recently provided necessary bathing safety upgrades for multiple hotels including the Spring Hill Suites in Pueblo and the Hampton Inn of Cañyon City. Bathing safety and accessibility upgrades not only create a safer environment for guests in bathrooms but also help hotels to reduce slip-and-fall liability.

“Many bathtubs that come from the factory have a textured bottom to act as a slip-resistant surface,” said Miracle Method VP of Commercial Services, Terri McPherson. “However, over time, this texture wears off, and when it does, it does very little to prevent slip-and-fall accidents.”

While bathmats or stick-on appliqués can provide a temporary solution, they easily collect mold and mildew, resulting in an unsanitary and stained surface. These short- term solutions are neither efficient nor effective for high-traffic areas such as restrooms, floors or shower pans at hotels or university dormitories.

Miracle Method’s unique application process outperforms many of these short-term options including a chemical etch, rubber mats, glue-on mats and appliques. With Miracle Method’s Slip Resistant Surface the texture is applied to the existing surface, offering a superior and durable solution that will not crack or peel.

Homeowners have long used Miracle Method for refinishing of bathtubs, showers, tile, and kitchens. However, as the baby boomer generation asserts their independence and desire to age in place longer, they are looking for fast and affordable solutions that will allow them to stay safely in the comfort of their own homes longer. As a result, Miracle Methods has seen a huge increase in the demand for bathing safety solutions.

The Panarisi’s explained, “seniors and those with limited mobility prefer a solution like Miracle Method’s because they don’t have to start from scratch in order to make improvements to their homes. With Miracle Method, there is no need to completely rip out your existing bathroom fixtures to have better accessibility, and our solution provides an affordable alternative to bathtub replacement options.”

Bathing safety improvements like the ones offered by Miracle Method are simple and cost effective not only for businesses but for homeowners as well. A slip-resistant surface upgrade or grab-bar installation can provide the first steps needed to ensure that those using the bathroom don’t become slip-and-fall victims at their own home or while traveling.
