John Dawes of Five Star Bath Solutions presented the Smart Choice package, highlighting the company’s exclusive six-layer Centrel composite wall system that is grout-free, antimicrobial, scratch-resistant, and designed to mimic natural stone with high-resolution 3D printing. He emphasized that Five Star only specializes in bathroom remodels and uses certified in-house craftsmen, not subcontractors, ensuring consistent quality and accountability. John also noted the local ownership and strong community reputation in Sioux Falls, with a 4.9-star Google rating and a $2 million insurance policy that protects homeowners from liability during installation.
The installation includes complete demolition down to the studs, removal and disposal of old materials, inspection and repair of any subfloor or structural damage, and full replacement of plumbing with modern PEX lines. The new surround was custom-fitted with HydroBlock cement-core waterproof backer board and sealed with antimicrobial silicone. Project was completed in a single day, scheduled 10 to 12 weeks from agreement, with all measurements and final selections confirmed during a pre-installation walk-through by the project manager, Max.
Five Star Bath Solutions offers a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering all parts, plumbing, labor, and product. Their no-surprise guarantee ensures customers are not charged extra for structural issues uncovered during demolition. The original quote for the project was $21,363, but after applying a 77% labor discount, a $500 review incentive, $500 scheduling flexibility credit, and a Smart Choice upgrade, the final price was reduced to $11,998. John also extended an additional discount based on personal connections, bringing the total to $11,998 with no money due until the install, and financing options available. The customer appreciated the clarity, quality, and integrity presented throughout the estimate.
