What is going to be different for you in 2026? How will you keep yourself accountable for the changes you want to make for the new year?
I was reading a blog that suggested selecting a “Word of The Year.” This word will be your personal compass or “North Star” for personal growth and change in 2026.
An example of words you might use may be Energy, Decisive, or Focus, Commit, Follow through. My word of the year for 2026 is resilient. I will be resilient to live by my values and continue building a strong moral character. I will strive to become more self-aware, a better problem solver, quick thinking, resourceful and more adaptable to my surroundings.
Resiliency is something I will work on every day of this year. Each new day is another opportunity to become tougher and stronger. Become a better problem solver and be more adaptable. The words that help define resilient for me are withstand, adaptable, recover, strong, and tough.
Take your time choosing your Word of The Year. The purpose/goal of your word is to promote personal growth and change throughout the year, so you will want to choose your word thoughtfully.
What I really like about this idea of selecting a “Word of The Year” is how adaptable it is it to my small business. Resilient is also the perfect word for Michael’s Resurfacing. In the resurfacing world resilient is exactly what you can expect from our finishes and coatings; Tough, Strong, Durable, and Problem Solving. I know, problem solving is an odd way to describe a coating, but Michael’s Resurfacing’s coatings and finishes can solve your problem when you have an UGLY or Out-of-Date kitchen countertop, bathroom vanity, or tub and tile. If your kitchen and bathroom surfaces are hard to clean, chipped, or cracked, Michael’s Resurfacing has a solution to your problem.
Let Michael’s Resurfacing be the problem solver for your bathroom. It’s undeniable that the bathroom gets the heaviest use, and your bathroom needs an update more than any other room in the home. How can you update
the floor, tub/shower, and vanity without the prohibitive cost of replacement or the construction mess, and the down time it would take. Replacement is not always the best solution. Call Michael’s Resurfacing and learn about how the resilient coatings and finishes used in refinishing can update your outdated surfaces and fixtures in your bathroom.

Be sure to ask Michael’s Resurfacing about their 5-year written warranty. It is far better than the 1-year warranty typically given when you rip out and replace.
But wait! Our coatings and finishes are not limited to the bathroom. The resilient coatings and finishes used by Michael’s Resurfacing can solve the problem of your UGLY – Out-of-Date kitchen countertops and tile backsplash.
Updating your countertops is a wonderful way to give one of the busiest rooms in your home a much-needed facelift.

Only simple care and cleaning with warm soapy water is required to keep them looking great.

We know that accidents can happen that cause damage to the refinished surface, no worries, the refinished surface can be repaired.
At Michael’s Resurfacing we make it our business to know a thing or two about finishes and coatings. Our resilient coatings and finishes go beyond the kitchen and bathroom. Look at your basement and garage where we can make amazing transformations to your concrete floors. Using a polyaspartic flake
finish we can provide you with a durable finish that is easy to clean and protects your floor from issues common with concrete due to its porous surface, such as susceptibility to road salt and spills that cause stains.
A Polyaspartic Flake finish should not be confused with an epoxy finish. They can both be used to refinish your basement and garage floor but that is where their similarity ends. Polyaspartic floors are more resilient, they are a harder and more durable coating. They are resistant to spills that may stain by preventing them from soaking in and causing damage or stains to the concrete underneath. They are UV stable; they will not amber over time. Spills will clean up easily with hot soapy water. Unlike your current concrete floor, a new Polyaspartic floor is non-porous and will not soak up spills. We can even add a slip resistant topcoat to the surface to keep you from slipping on the floor if something gets spilled, or the outdoor elements like rain and snow get tracked into your garage from your car tires.
Has your basement ever flooded leaving you no other option than replacing the existing carpet, carpet padding, tile, or laminate floor? This is the time to replace the ruined floor with a Polyaspartic floor coating. The resilient flooring you will never need to replace due to a flood, spills that stain, or normal wear and tear.
One last thought and one worth sharing. Refinishing your basement and garage floors is the perfect starting point to adding more living space to your home. All that remains for you to do is upgrade the lighting, add fresh paint, add a fridge, stock it, and mount a TV or two on the wall. Finish the new space with comfortable seating. You are set! Call your friends over. It is time to watch the game!
Let Michael’s Resurfacing, your professional refinisher, help you discover the resilience of refinishing by updating that UGLY kitchen or bathroom, creating that new living space you dream of having, or protecting the concrete floor in your garage.
