Chicago Area Navy Veteran Rejects Retirement To Open Villa Park Miracle Method Refinishing Business
Fred Haas, 62, runs his Miracle Method of Chicago NW Metro refinishing business from his showroom at 629 N. Addison Rd. Serving Villa Park and the entire Chicago metro area with the largest bath and kitchen refinishing company in North America, the former Electrician's Mate Second Class submariner has revitalized his career extending the life of countertops, sinks, tile, bathtubs and more with refinishing services that cost up to 75 percent less than the cost to replace them.
A general contractor for most of his life, Haas owned his own construction business for 25 years, renovating everything from condos to hospitals. But after the recession he knew that the economic climate could spell doom for his company. Fearful of the economic downturn but still holding a passion for being a business owner, Hass did his research and came upon Miracle Method.
"The value of the services Miracle Method provides would be apparent to anyone, but with my construction background they were particularly impressive," said Haas. "I knew from experience that replacing unattractive countertops or bathtubs can be tremendously expensive, not to mention time consuming. Miracle Method's background got my attention, but it was the company's system that convinced me to join the team."
Using a refinishing process that can add over 15 years to the life of a surface, Miracle Method has made a name for itself as an authority on the subject of improving the appearance of a surface. For Haas, that same influence is one he hopes to have throughout the Chicago area.
"My future goal is simply to become a dominant player in the Chicago metro area," said Haas, "with the hope of having three locations running within the next five years. With the system and business plan Miracle Method has in place, combined with the money saving services I provide that any homeowner can benefit from, that's a goal I know I can achieve."
