Common questions

Miracle Method FAQ

No. Miracle Method is a national franchise with 140+ US locations, and each franchise is independently owned and operated (miraclemethod.com, verified September 2026). The brand is national; the business you hire, pay, and hold a warranty with is the local franchisee. We are one family-owned company, in Portland, since 1979.

Five years on residential work in owner-occupied homes, one year on commercial work (which their warranty page defines to include rental properties), printed on the back of the invoice (miraclemethod.com/warranty.htm, verified September 2026). Ours is a written 10-year warranty with no proration schedule and no per-visit service charge.

No. Their bathtub refinishing cost page discusses the cost of replacement but lists no refinishing prices (verified September 2026). We publish ours: $650 to $1,045 for a standard tub, with an online price calculator.

The independently owned franchisee who did the work. The warranty is printed on your invoice and honored by that location, so its value depends on the local office. Our warranty comes from the same family company that has operated here since 1979.

We found a company blog but no dedicated homeowner learning center with lessons, cost guides, or interactive tools (verified September 2026). Our Learning Center is free: video lessons, cost guides, a price calculator, and the TubVision visualizer.
