Updating baths and kitchens is always in demand

By

In the current state of the economy, many homeowners are making improvements to make their homes more enjoyable instead of building or purchasing a new one. It’s a given fact that updating bathrooms and kitchens is currently in demand – as it always has been – and that means homeowners are searching for professionals to help them with their improvement projects.

The fact that budgets are tighter and people are  looking to save money any way they can means the refinishing business gets better for Miracle Method franchises at times like these. Not only does refinishing save up to 75% over typical replacement costs, but many homeowners appreciate the quick and hassle-free results of refinishing.

There has never been a better time to own a refinishing franchise. Refinishing provides the value proposition to updating baths and kitchens when compared to replacement. There are many other advantages to owning a Miracle Method franchise. For example, a Miracle Method franchise has a lower upfront cost than the average fast food or retail franchise. There’s also limited competition in surface refinishing and tons of untapped potential, as estimates have revealed that only about 20% of the public is aware of the benefits of refinishing. As a matter of fact, every home, hotel, and apartment is a potential customer for refinishing services. Plus, the top Miracle Method franchisees typically generate annual sales ranging between $600,000 to over $1 million!

There’s always a demand for updating the bath or kitchen.

Regardless of the state of the economy, people will always be interested in improving their baths and kitchens, and owning a Miracle Method franchise means your services will always be in demand. To learn more about owning a Miracle Method franchise, visit our website or call 855-212-7337.

Can a non slip surface be added to my tub or shower?

By

You’ve probably experienced this before – entering or exiting your tub or shower and stepping on a slick spot that nearly causes you to fall. Some homeowners may turn to a bath mat or those little appliqués that stick on to the surface, but eventually, the suction cups on the mats just don’t cling as well and the appliqués start to peel away, plus both can collect dirt, mold, and mildew. So what options are available now?

Miracle Method offers a slip resistant surface that is perfect for tubs and showers. When we apply our slip resistant surface, it’s chemically bonded to the surface of the tub or shower, integrating it to the surface. Our slip resistant surfaces won’t crack or peel and are installed in just one hour.

Additionally, Miracle Method’s slip resistant surfaces can be color matched to blend seamlessly with the aesthetic appeal of your bathroom. There are different options for coarseness, too. And best of all, our slip resistant surfaces are very easy to clean and are very sanitary – no mold or mildew to worry about with these surfaces!

Reduce the risk of slips, falls, and injuries with Miracle Method’s slip resistant surfaces. Visit our website to learn more or give us a call at 855-212-7337.

Pros and Cons of Granite Countertops

By

Granite countertops have become quite common in high-end homes over the years. Granite comes in a variety of color options and with so many unique patterns, granite countertops easily become the focal point of kitchen remodels. This natural stone product is also quite durable, which is another reason so many remodelers and interior designers like to use it.

However, granite is a rather expensive material that can cause the price of a kitchen remodel to skyrocket. There’s very little room for error when working with granite, and granite countertops require regular maintenance and care to ensure that they continue to look good.

If you find yourself debating whether or not to choose granite countertops for your kitchen, take a look at some of the pros and cons of granite countertops to help you make your decision.

Pros

  • Granite is heat resistant.
  • It is also resistant to cuts and scratches.
  • Natural stone patterns create a one-of-a-kind look.

Cons

  • Granite is a porous material, meaning there are small holes in this material that are prone to harboring bacteria.
  • Granite requires regular sealing.
  • Granite is the most expensive option compared to other countertop materials.
  • Granite can be stained or discolored by common items such as citric juices.
  • It can be difficult to match the seams between the slabs of granite.
  • Granite is difficult to repair if damaged which can leave costly replacement as the only option.
  • As a natural stone, a few granite varieties contain high levels of radiation and radon.

For those who have determined that granite isn’t the right option for their kitchen, Miracle Method offers a cost-effective alternative called Natural Accents. This high-tech coating offers the wonderful look of stone that many desire, but without the expense and maintenance that granite requires. Visit our website to learn more about this great alternative for your countertops.

Reasons for having your bathtub refinished

By

If your bathtub is worn out, damaged with chips and cracks, hard to clean, or an outdated, ugly color and you’re thinking about replacing it, consider an alternative that will save you time and money. With bathtub refinishing by Miracle Method, you’ll not only save thousands of dollars, but also days and even weeks of messy demolition and replacement. According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association, the total cost to remove and replace a bathtub is an estimated $3,000 or more, but Miracle Method’s bathtub refinishing will cost a fraction of that.

Miracle Method Bathtub Before and AfterAs if saving time and money weren’t enough to seal the deal, here are some other reasons to choose bathtub refinishing:

  • Longevity. Using the same care and maintenance recommended by new bathtub manufacturers, a refinished bathtub should easily last 10 to 15 years or more.
  • Durability. Because Miracle Method uses the most technologically advanced coating available, our finishes can withstand daily use and do not require special cleaning. However, just like a newly manufactured bathtub, refinished bathtubs can be chipped or scratched if subjected to extreme abuse.
  • Aesthetics. The deep gloss created by our hi-tech acrylic coatings looks so much like new porcelain that 9 out of 10 people cannot tell the difference between our refinishing and a brand new tub.
  • Superiority. No other refinishing company uses the same steps that Miracle Method uses. From the diligent cleaning process to the use of our one-of-a-kind MM-4 bonding agent to the advanced coatings and final detailing, Miracle Method really stands apart.
  • Experience. Miracle Method is the largest, most experienced refinishing company in the United States and has been the leader in refinishing techniques for nearly 30 years.

Having Miracle Method refinish your bathtub will not only save you time and money, but will also give you peace of mind that you’ve chosen a quality service to make your bathroom look and feel like new.  Ask about our 5 year warranty. To find a Miracle Method closest to you, visit our online Locator or call 855-212-7337.

What can be done with the ugly tile around my bathtub?

By

Bathroom tile refinishingReplacing bathroom tile just because it’s an ugly color, there’s broken tile, or the grout needs repair is quite costly, messy and rather unnecessary.

Think about what it takes to replace tile: it will have to be chiseled off of the wall and the backer board replaced, which is very messy. You will also need to protect the bathtub from any falling tools or tile. It will take a lot of patience and a good tile saw to make sure the tile goes in flush. Furthermore, you must count the time that the bathtub will be out of commission. Why not avoid this headache and call Miracle Method for a free tile refinishing estimate?

With Miracle Method, you can have that that ugly or broken tile and grout refinished to look like new in just two days! We use a process of cleaning the tile, and applying our MM-4 bonding agent along with several hi-tech top coats to give you a durable and beautiful new look. And don’t think you have to just stick to white tile! Miracle Method offers a wide range of colors and finishes including our impressive Natural Accents™ stone look finishes.

Refinishing tile will save you up to 75% over the cost of replacement. If you want to avoid the hassle and expense of replacing your unattractive tile, consider calling Miracle Method at 855-212-7337 or visit our website to find a location near you.
