The tile grout lines around my tub are ugly. How do I maintain the grout?

By

Tile floors, countertops, walls, and showers are common features of bathrooms and kitchens . If you have tile in your kitchen or bathroom, you know how beautiful it can be… until the dirt and grim sets in the grout lines, causing you to spend entirely too much time scrubbing them in an attempt to clean them. Or perhaps, your grout line is just the wrong color. You need an update that will refresh the look of your tile grout lines and help you maintain a presentable look.

Miracle Method has just the solution you are looking for – ceramic tile refinishing with tile grout repair. The refinishing process includes cleaning your tile and grout lines to remove dirt, soap residue, oils, and grease, and then our technicians will fill in any chips and make any repairs that may be necessary for the tile and grout. The grout will receive a thin, new coat to ensure that the grout lines are filled and even. The end result is a beautiful new look with grout lines that are permanently sealed and very easy to keep clean.

Before…

… and After! A sparkling white tub and tile surround!

Why waste time scrubbing away at dirty grout lines that will never be as clean as you would like? Contact your local Miracle Method franchise by calling 855-212-7337 or by using our online locator to learn more about the process.

Shawn Jessup, Miracle Method of Tempe

After spending several years working as an assistant store manager for Home Depot, Shawn Jessup was ready to take control of his future. He looked at eight to ten business opportunities and after friends shared their success as Miracle Method franchise owners in Portland, Oregon, Shawn was sold and decided to purchase his own Miracle Method Surface Refinishing franchise.

Shawn says “I wanted to be able to run and grow my own business, make my own decisions and offer a great product with outstanding customer service.” Because of his home improvement and management background, owning a Miracle Method franchise was a great match for him.

Even with the instability of the economy in recent years and especially when the housing market in Phoenix bottomed out, Shawn’s Tempe, Arizona franchise has shown excellent growth and profit. Both residential and commercial customers turn to Miracle Method to refinish bathtubs, countertops, and tile.

“My success validates why you should buy a Miracle Method franchise. The national office showed me how to succeed in the bad times, which will only make me better in the good times,” Shawn explains.

He adds that the opening of his Miracle Method showroom in 2008 has also contributed to his franchise’s success, noting that it helps set them apart from the competition, as well as helps him show his customers the high quality Miracle Method refinishing process.

For those looking into the ownership of a Miracle Method franchise, Shawn offers the following advice:

  1. Do it… go into business for yourself!
  2. Listen, learn and do not try to reinvent the wheel. Miracle Method has all the support you need.

Much like kitchens, bathrooms are a room that can either make or kill the sale of a home, depending upon its condition. If you are planning to sell your home, it is a wise idea to invest in making some improvements to your bathroom, as that can increase its value significantly.

Surface refinishing from Miracle Method is a great place to start. We offer a variety of surface refinishing options that can bring your bathroom into the present in a cost effective and timely manner. For example, if your bathtub is damaged, worn out, or just the wrong color, we can repair and refinish it to look like new, saving you thousands of dollars while avoiding the mess of demolition and replacement.

In addition to bathtub refinishing, we also offer refinishing services for countertop surfaces like bathroom vanities, even cultured marble sinks and vanities, and ceramic tile surfaces like tile showers and tile tub surrounds. In just a day or two, your bathroom will look like new and will be ready for listing!

Before: An outdated bathroom in need of a makeover.

After: The bathtub, tile, and sink are updated and ready to make the sale.

Miracle Method Franchise Ownership Makes for a Great Family Business

By

After owning and operating a bagel franchise together for seven years, Paul and Jonee Barnett of Houston, Texas decided to sell their franchise and look for another business opportunity that would get them out of the 7-day-a-week commitment and still allow them to continue to be business partners. As they were remodeling their home, their interior decorator told them about surface refinishing. After searching surface refinishing on the Internet, the couple learned that Miracle Method was looking to expand in the Houston market and decided that owning a Miracle Method franchise would be the perfect opportunity for them.

“Miracle Method is ideal for a husband-and-wife team like us,” Paul said. “We are able to divide the business up where Jonee can handle the sales side of it and I can stick to the technical side. That way, we are still working together without being side-by-side all day long.”

And the Barnetts aren’t alone when it comes to being a husband-and-wife team in Miracle Method franchise ownership. Over half of our franchises have husband-and-wife involvement, and several have sons and daughters in the business, too. Many see it as a great opportunity as a family business.

Like our other Miracle Method franchises, Paul and Jonee’s has seen much success since it was established in 2003. They credit Miracle Method’s Internet presence for enhancing their sales. “Houston is an Internet savvy city and miraclemethod.com often has our customer pre-sold before we even make the estimate. The national office keeps the site current and is always working for us.”

With their past success, Paul and Jonee feel very confident about the future of their business. Jonee shared that their confidence comes from the structure of the organization and the national office’s ability to find new ways to help franchise owners expand and increase profits.

If you are a husband-and-wife team or a parent-child team looking for a family business opportunity, Miracle Method could be just want you’re looking for. If Paul and Jonee’s story has given you a desire for more information, visit our website or call 800-477-8827.

Remodeler Complements Business with a Miracle Method Franchise

By

After 30 years of work in the public service sector, Mike Blass began a remodeling company and began acquiring residential properties. With both, he quickly realized that refinishing was a more appropriate solution for updating bathtubs, tiles, and kitchen countertops, as opposed to replacing them.

As he searched for refinishers online, Miracle Method “kept coming up.” Mike sent in a request for some information and received a call back from the Miracle Method franchise sales director. They discussed how Mike’s remodeling company and a Miracle Method franchise would complement each other quite well. At the time, Mike wasn’t ready to make the move financially, but he kept in touch and two years later, in 2010, Mike officially opened his Miracle Method franchise.

Mike says Miracle Method didn’t disappoint him throughout the start-up process. He said, “They presented me with a business model and plan to bring in a positive cash flow and build equity as quickly as possible.”

Mike opened a showroom soon after returning from training. He notes that since the average customer isn’t familiar with all of the benefits refinishing offers, the showroom allows him to demonstrate how good refinishing is and how much money a customer can save.

Additionally, Mike has been able to take advantage of the support available to Miracle Method franchise owners. “Miracle Method is on a constant quest to bring in new systems and sources of revenue and profit for its franchisees. Miracle Method is a business opportunity that is not only viable, but has tremendous upside potential. It may have taken me two years to purchase the franchise, but I’m glad I did.”

Whether you are looking for a new way to earn an income or someone who is interested in taking control of their own future, owning a Miracle Method franchise could be solution you are looking for. Please visit our website today for more information, or give us a call at 800-477-8827 to request some information and get started.
