For more than 40 years, Miracle Method Surface Refinishing has built its national reputation on transforming worn or outdated surfaces into modern, durable finishes—without the cost or disruption of traditional remodeling. With more than 140 franchise locations across the country, the company has become the largest and most trusted name in surface refinishing, serving homeowners, property managers, and commercial clients who want high quality results at a fraction of the price of replacement.

Now, Miracle Method is bringing its proven model to Alabama, opening the door for new franchise owners and introducing a service that aligns perfectly with the state’s growing housing market and business landscape.

A Smarter Approach to Remodeling
Miracle Method specializes in refinishing bathtubs, showers, tile, and countertops using proprietary processes that restore surfaces to a like new appearance. The approach is fast, cost effective, and environmentally responsible—keeping tons of materials out of landfills each year.

This value proposition has fueled the brand’s long term success. In Entrepreneur’s 2026 Franchise 500®, Miracle Method ranked No. 357, recognized for its financial strength, operational support, and consistent growth. The company was also inducted into the Franchise 500® Hall of Fame in 2025 after 27 consecutive years on the list—an achievement that underscores its stability and appeal to franchise owners.

Why Alabama Is the Next Strategic Market
As Miracle Method continues its national expansion, Alabama emerged as a natural fit. The state’s mix of historic homes, expanding suburbs, and active commercial development creates strong demand for affordable remodeling alternatives.

Before entering any new market, the company evaluates long term demand, housing trends, and community alignment. Alabama checked every box. The brand is now seeking franchise partners across the state who share its commitment to service, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction.

New franchise owners receive comprehensive training, operational guidance, and marketing support—ensuring they launch with confidence and grow with a strong foundation.

A Personal Connection Behind the Expansion
For Kelli Schroeder, Miracle Method’s VP of Franchise Development at Threshold Brands, the move into Alabama is more than a business decision—it’s personal. A graduate of the University of Alabama, she sees the expansion as a meaningful return to a place that shaped his early career.

“Alabama played a major role in my professional journey,” she says. “Bringing a respected national brand like Miracle Method into the state feels like coming home.”

Schroeder joined Miracle Method in 2024, drawn to the company’s blend of entrepreneurship, craftsmanship, and community impact. The brand’s long standing reputation for quality and customer satisfaction aligned perfectly with her passion for supporting franchise owners.

Economic Impact That Stays Local
Miracle Method’s franchise model is built on local ownership, which means the economic benefits stay within the community. Each new location creates skilled jobs, supports small business ownership, and partners with local suppliers and contractors.

“This model helps keep dollars local” Schroeder says. “It also supports steady, community-driven economic growth across the state.”

This approach aligns well with Alabama’s strong culture of supporting homegrown businesses and fostering sustainable economic development.

Looking Ahead
As Miracle Method establishes its presence in Alabama, the company plans to build community partnerships and support local initiatives—continuing a tradition of franchisees giving back through nonprofit work, school projects, and community improvements.

With more than four decades of expertise and a commitment to sustainable, high quality solutions, Miracle Method is poised to make a meaningful impact across the state.

Franchise opportunities are now available in Montgomery and throughout Alabama. More information can be found at miraclemethod.com/franchise-sales/.
