On the finish coat we like to have it out of bounds for 24 hours to ensure a top quality job. This can pose a bit of a problem if the areas you are having restored are hallways or areas you need to access for bedrooms or washrooms etc. If this is the case, or if you are having your entire house refinished, it may be best to stay somewhere else for a few nights.

The combination of diligent preparation, a proprietary bonding agent, advanced coating and final detailing sets Miracle Method apart from all other refinishers.
