FROM BAGELS TO BATHTUBS THIS COUPLE REMODELS CAREER WITH TOP REFINISHING COMPANY
F
or eight years, Paul and Jonee Barnett owned a Manhattan Bagel shop. Though they loved the shop, when they received an offer to sell it they decided it was time to try a new business venture. When the couple remodeled their home, they saw firsthand the value of refinishing their kitchen and bathroom. From that recognition was born a desire to once again have a business of their own, resulting in the opening of their Miracle Method Refinishing business, covering Southwest Houston, TX. Even before their stint as owners of a bagel shop both Paul and Jonee Barnett had extensive corporate experience. For 17 years, Jonee Barnett worked for Texaco Chemical, later Huntsman Chemical, and Paul Barnett spent nearly a decade at Goodyear. But the couple wanted the level of freedom that can only come from being your own boss. That same desire led them to Miracle Method. “After seeing the dramatic results of our kitchen/bathroom makeover we knew it was the next direction for us. After speaking with another franchisee in Corpus Christi, we came away with the belief that Miracle Method would let us provide a service that is in demand and will remain so regardless of the condition of the economy.” Providing services that can dramatically improve the look of countertops, bathtubs, sinks and more at a price that could be thousands of dollars less than the cost of replacing them, Miracle Method has made a name for itself as the preeminent refinishing company.
