(This is a paid review of work that was recently done at my own home)<\/em><\/p>\n

The people that lived in our house before us, put a large addition on it, including a full bath, with a fiberglass shower enclosure. The bathroom has been looking a little outdated, and the shower was getting to the point of no return. (Dirt and grime was emerging victorious, no matter how hard we scrubbed it)<\/em><\/p>\n

Enter Miracle Method,<\/span><\/strong> a tub, counter top, and shower refinishing franchise out of Colorado. <\/p>\n

Miracle Method <\/span>saved our family around $6,000.<\/strong> ($6,000 was the estimate we had received from some crazed company who thought that charging "only" $7,000 for a new shower surround was a fantastic deal for us.)<\/em> Fantastic.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a matter of fact, when the estimator that worked for this unnamed shower replacement franchise came out to give us his "great price," my wife got really mad at me. You see, after the fine gentleman told <\/em>us his great $7,000 price, I said, "You've got to be kidding me!<\/strong>" (Well, I did say it rather robustly)<\/em> Then he left.<\/p>\n

We searched around a little for an alternative, and found the Cleveland franchisee of Miracle Method, Andy Gorski.<\/strong> Andy was great on the phone, was not pushy, and he sounded like someone I would want to do business with. <\/p>\n

We scheduled a time for his technician, Jeremy, to come out, and I thought I would share some before and after pictures with you. <\/p>\n

Actually, how about some really short videos? I videotaped Jeremy doing the work, and showed his progress. Check this out…<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

#1 <\/strong>This video shows how the shower looked before it was redone, including some prep work being done;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

#2 <\/strong>Next, here's a short video that shows the real work that's being done to make this shower look brand new!<\/p>\n

When Jeremy was done cleaning up, which he did perfectly, I called me wife and told her that it looks like a brand new shower surround was delivered and installed in our bathroom.<\/strong> It looks great! <\/p>\n

Miracle Method <\/span><\/strong>has been around a long time, and is the largest franchise of it's type in the country. There are 120 franchises in the US, and internationally.<\/p>\n

According to the folks at Miracle Method<\/span><\/strong>, here's why refinishing is better than replacing:<\/p>\n
