Johnny Hammer from Five Star Bath Solutions recommended their Smart Choice Centrel system, explaining that it’s a U.S.-manufactured, quarter-inch-thick composite wall solution designed to mimic natural stone while eliminating grout and mold issues. He emphasized the system’s low-maintenance nature and longevity, supported by a lifetime warranty. Johnny presented the company as a specialized, locally owned bathroom remodeler under Jared Basharian in Nashville, highlighting that they work exclusively in wet areas with fully licensed, insured, and background-checked installers. Five Star does not rely on heavy advertising or storefront overhead, with most of their business coming from word-of-mouth and online reviews. Their company structure allows them to deliver high-quality outcomes while offering cost savings.
The installation process includes full demolition down to the slab and studs, with the removal of all existing materials and inspection for dry rot. Any damaged sections are repaired at no extra charge. The new shower pan is a closed-cell foam base, topped with a waterproof Shower Shield backing system and sealed with marine-grade adhesive in all corners. After the waterproofing layer is complete, the Centrel wall panels and accessories—including corner shelves and handheld showerhead—are installed and sealed using commercial-grade silicone. A walkthrough is conducted to ensure satisfaction before cleanup. The project timeline was two to three days, with the earliest available installation window approximately six to eight weeks out from the date of contract signing.
Five Star Bath Solutions offers a lifetime no fine print warranty that covers all materials, fixtures, and labor, including waterproofing. The warranty is fully transferable to future homeowners. Johnny offered a 77% discount on installation labor as part of their monthly promotion, bringing the final cost for the full Smart Choice Centrel package to $12,022, or $170 per month with financing. A more basic package using a fiberglass insert was also presented at $9,083 with a three-year warranty. The customer, although not ready to commit due to pain and medication related to a recent injury, expressed intent to review the proposal with family and possibly consider an additional bathroom remodel in the future.
