Remain eco-friendly in 2014 by contacting us for a green remodeling.

Do you want to upgrade your bathroom or kitchen AND be environmentally responsible at the same time?

Many homeowners hate the thought of expensive replacement of tubs, tile, vanities, sinks and countertops. Even worse, is the unnecessary waste of throwing away perfectly functional fixtures and filling up the local landfill.

Miracle Method has an eco-friendly renovation process that will restore your bathtubs, countertops, and tile to like-new, while saving up to 75% off the price of what it would cost to replace them.

The Miracle Method process repairs cracks, chips and scratches before adding a new finish to effectively extend the life of an old fixture for up to 15 years or more. We can change colors and give you a completely updated look without the mess of replacement. Best of all, most refinishing jobs are completed in just two days.

Miracle Method was “green” way before it became popular.

The Miracle Method process effectively “recycles” all types of tubs, tile showers, vanities, sinks, and even kitchen countertops. If the fixture is functional, then our process can restore it and make it beautiful! For the past 33 years, Miracle Method has restored and refinished literally thousands of bath and kitchen fixtures. In fact, we’ve calculated that by using the Miracle Method process, we avoid filling about 100 pickup trucks and sending them to the dump…each day!

Don’t replace it! We can save you money and help reduce the negative impact on the environment if fixtures are thrown away and costs are incurred to manufacture and install new ones.

Contact Miracle Method to start planning your 2014 green remodeling project.

Realtors: Sell Homes Faster by Upgrading Kitchens and Baths

November 5, 2013 By miraclemethod

When it comes to selling homes, odds are you have a pretty good idea of what potential buyers are looking for. Potential buyers are not only looking at the overall layout of the home, they are also looking for certain features, whether they’re luxurious features or environmentally friendly features. Additionally, the bathroom and kitchen are two of the most important areas to potential buyers. These are areas that will be in heavy use, and if outdated, worn or dirty, can create an objection to buying the home.

It’s been proven that putting money into smart renovations result in a quicker sale of a home. Not only can Miracle Method help remove objections a buyer may have, but updating the baths and kitchen can avoid a $20,000- $25,000 discount off of the asking price.

With Miracle Method Surface Refinishing, you can update your kitchen or bathroom in just two to three days.

Winter Break is the Perfect Time to Repair Those Leaky Shower Tiles in College Dorms

October 8, 2013 By miraclemethod

College dorms tend to take a real beating. After all, you have new students moving in every year. The bathrooms in particular suffer enormous wear and tear. After a certain period of time, you’re going to want to improve the bathrooms in your dorms. An outdated and worn down bathroom isn’t going to help convince students to attend your school once they tour them. However, instead of remodeling your dorms’ bathrooms, you should use Miracle Method instead.

Remodeling the bathrooms is an option, but it’s an expensive one, especially when you take into account the number of bathrooms that need to be updated in your dorms. Not to mention that a remodeling project on that scale is going to take quite a bit of time. This is why you should simply consider tile repair and refinishing using Miracle Method instead. Refinishing your bathrooms won’t take long at all – you could get it done during a short student break. Not to mention that it will cost you just a fraction of the price of a remodel. You should also consider the fact that refinishing the bathrooms is more environmentally friendly since you’re continuing to get more use out of your bathroom fixtures, up to 15 more years in some cases, whereas with a remodeling project you’re sending your old fixtures to the landfill.

Find out how you can refinish your dorms’ bathrooms during an upcoming break by contacting us today at Miracle Method.

Students Head Back to School and to Refinished Showers and Vanities

September 10, 2013 By miraclemethod

Residents of White Hall on the University of Wyoming campus found beautifully refinished tile showers and in-room vanities when they arrived for fall semester. As part of the residence hall’s major renovation, the ugly tile and leaking shower pans were sealed and refinished in a fresh, new color while the laminate vanities were repaired and given a stone-look Natural Accents^® finish by Miracle Method.

Demolition and replacement of tile in 132 showers and replacement of 297 vanity surfaces would have exceeded the school’s budget and taken longer than the allotted summer break schedule. By using Miracle Method’s eco-friendly refinishing process, the tile and laminate surfaces were saved from the landfill and the project was completed within budget and in time for returning students.

Whether it’s a college residence hall, hotel or apartment complex, Miracle Method has a cost saving alternative to messy and expensive demolition and replacement renovation. Call 855-212-7337 or visit www.MiracleMethod.com/commercial to learn more about Miracle Method’s commercial services.

Miracle Method, A Green Remodeling Alternative

April 21, 2013 By miraclemethod

Every year, Earth Day is celebrated in April, but remodeling without demolition has been an obsession for Miracle Method ever since the company was founded 34-years ago. When a Miracle Method Surface Refinishing technician refinishes an existing tub, tile surround, bathroom vanity or kitchen countertop, he is keeping those fixtures out of a landfill.

Traditional home remodeling is a major source of waste to overflowing landfills. According to the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), a home remodeling project can generate between 70 and 115 lbs. of waste per square foot! By contrast, new home construction creates only 3 to 5 lbs. of construction waste per square foot.

Based on Miracle Method’s 2012 sales, it’s estimated that the company kept 2,145,000 cubic feet of “waste” out of the country’s landfills. That’s enough waste to fill over 68,000 standard six-foot pickup beds each year… or 186 pickup trucks filled with waste each day!

Going Green isn’t the only reason Miracle Method’s residential and commercial customers use the company’s surface refinishing process, it also saves them up to 75% over bathroom fixture and kitchen countertop replacement costs.

Miracle Method is the nation’s largest surface refinishing network with 127 offices and for 34 years has been committed to the finest quality and providing customers with a beautiful, durable and affordable green remodeling option.

Refinished and kept out of a landfill

Observe Earth Day by refinishing your bathroom fixtures and your kitchen countertops instead of destroying and replacing them. This will not only cut costs and save you time, it will also allow you to engage in an environmentally friendly practice.
