Jagger Willard of Five Star Bath Solutions guided the customer through a range of product packages, from fiberglass to acrylic, composite, and stone, explaining the differences in cost, durability, and warranties. He emphasized that Five Star is a local franchise backed by a national brand, with over 100 locations and a focus on maintaining a solid reputation through extensive five-star reviews. All installers are certified, background-checked, and never subcontracted. Jagger explained the limitations of fiberglass and acrylic in terms of durability and porous surfaces and highlighted the benefits of the composite option, which comes with a lifetime warranty, antimicrobial protection, and a stone-look finish created from scanned images of real slabs.
Installation was explained as a one- to two-day process with a four- to five-week scheduling window. The process includes full tear-out of the existing materials, inspection and repair of any sub-surface damage, replacement of the plumbing, and installation of waterproof cement board rather than plywood or green board. The low-threshold composite shower base was described as thick, durable, and designed to resist flex and cracking. The job includes a walkthrough with the installer and a final sign-off to ensure customer satisfaction. Jagger also clarified that the team lays down protective runners, updates all plumbing behind the walls.
