Miracle Method Opens its First Canadian Franchise

By

We are excited to announce the opening of Miracle Method’s first Canadian franchise in London, Ontario. For sometime now, Miracle Method has been the largest surface refinishing franchise in the United States, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to expand into new territory.

Chuck Pistor, Miracle Method President, has awarded our first Canadian franchise to Rick Frank, a native of London, Ontario and a former Vice President of Operations with G.N. Johnston Equipment. While Miracle Method has been approached previously about opening a Canadian franchise, the prospects lacked the funding, experience, and management background needed to run a successful franchise. Pistor noted that “Rick has a wealth of management experience, the proper resources and an operations background that makes him the ideal owner to introduce Miracle Method’s proprietary surface refinishing process to Canada.”

There are plenty of other factors working in Frank’s favor for establishing and maintaining a very successful franchise. These include Miracle Method’s growth during the recent economic downturn – over 80% of our offices experienced increases in 2011 over 2010, with record sales in 2011. The London, Ontario market has traditionally been a test market for U.S. franchises in Canada, and with a great mix of residential and commercial properties, Frank has the opportunity to build his business at an above-average pace.

Miracle Method’s first Canadian franchise opened Canada Day weekend (July 1), with a shop and showroom at 90 Charterhouse Crescent, Unit 5, London, Ontario Canada N5W 5V5 (phone number: 226-270-1021). The franchise’s technicians have already been very busy refinishing bathtubs, tile and countertops for residents of London and the surrounding area, as well as refinishing 71 vanities and 41 bathtubs, applying Slip Resistant Surfaces to the tubs, for Extended Stay Hotel in nearby Vaughn, Ontario. Additionally, the franchise offers free in-home estimates and owner Rick Franks has been co-hosting The Home Show with Mike Stubbs of CJBK Radio 1290, taking listeners’ questions about surface refinishing.

As you can see, Miracle Method is not only expanding here in the U.S., but abroad as well!

Should I paint or refinish my countertops?

By

A few years ago, you replaced your kitchen cabinets and wanted to update the look of your countertops, too.  Your budget would only stretch so far, so you put that in the plans for the future.  As luck would have it, unexpected expenses came up and you’ve had to dip into your countertop fund for them.  Now, you’re looking for a cost-effective way to give your countertops that long overdue facelift.

One friend suggests painting them yourself, but you’re a little hesitant.   Painting your countertops will be very time consuming, requires a lot of patience and equipment, and you’re not so sure the end result will be the smooth, durable surface that you need. Paint brushes and rollers don’t always reach every nook and cranny and your DIY skills could spell DIY disaster!

Instead of painting your countertops, consider what Miracle Method Surface Refinishing can do for you. Our professional countertop refinishing process involves the following:

  • A two-step cleaning to remove all dirt, grease and other contaminants from the surface
  • Repair of any damage, burn marks, knife cuts and missing grout or laminate pieces
  • Application of a proprietary bonding agent to assure that the new surface will stick
  • Use of a color tinted primer coat
  • Two coats of one of over 30 Natural Accents colors applied using a high tech HVLP sprayer to assure a smooth, even finish
  • Two coats of a non-yellowing, waterproof clear acrylic in your choice of satin, semi-gloss or gloss
  • Final tear down of all masking materials and clean up of the project area

The end result will be a beautiful, durable surface that will give your old countertops an extended usable life, all for a fraction of the cost of replacement!

Visit our website today to learn more about the Miracle Method refinishing process and how it compares to painting countertops. To find a Miracle Method office near you, use our online locator or call 855-212-7337.

Something stained my tub and I can’t get it clean. What can I do?

By

For a while now, you’ve spent every Saturday morning scrubbing away at the bottom of your bathtub, trying to remove an ugly, dingy stain. You’re not sure where it came from, and you feel as though you’ve tried every cleaner on the planet, but nothing is removing that stubborn stain. Your thoughts turn to replacing your bathtub since it is pretty old and tubs are relatively inexpensive. But then you remember all of the costs associated with replacing a bathtub, and that’s simply not in the budget. You need a cost-effective way to bring your tub back to a like-new look and feel.

Miracle Method Surface Refinishing offers just the solution you are looking for. Bathtub refinishing can save you up to 75% over the cost of replacement. And unlike the process of removing and replacing a tub, which would require a plumber and  weeks of renovation, our work is complete in 2 days!

Miracle Method uses a proprietary non-acid refinishing process that will restore tubs made of porcelain, fiberglass, acrylic, and even cultured marble to a like-new look and feel. Our technicians will clean the tub, repair any cracks or chips, and then apply our MM-4 bonding agent to create a solid bond between the old and new surfaces. Our hi-tech, durable coating will be applied using a fine-finish spray process. You’ll have a beautiful tub in a brand new color, and best of all, your tub’s usable life will be extended by 15 years or more!

Before: The bottom of the tub is dirty and dingy.

After: The tub and the tile were  refinished to a gleaming white and the stains are long gone!
