Carmin Fusco from Five Star Bath Solutions presented the company’s Smart Choice six-layer composite system, emphasizing its antimicrobial, grout-free surface and resistance to mold and mildew. All wall panels, including ceiling-height coverage, were fabricated from nonporous material with integrated moisture protection. The customer selected a bold Calacatta-style finish for its durability and visual appeal. Carmin also highlighted Five Star’s in-house product manufacturing, local reputation, and trained installers, which eliminated reliance on subcontractors and guaranteed controlled timelines.
Installation was completed in two days. The existing tub and surround were removed to the studs. Organic HydroBlock backer was installed behind all walls, and plumbing was updated to support a wall-mounted handheld showerhead. A sliding glass door system was mounted directly to the composite panels, and brushed chrome grab bars were placed horizontally and diagonally across the wet area. The molded bench described in the original plan was not included, nor was a footrest. Shower curtain compatibility was replaced with fixed dual glass panels.
Five Star Bath Solutions provided a fully transferable lifetime warranty, covering labor and product without exclusions. Carmin confirmed that any hidden damage discovered during demo, including subfloor or framing issues, was included in the original quote and resolved at no added cost. Final pricing, inclusive of promotional April discounts, totaled $12,914. Flexible financing options were offered with monthly payment plans around $183 pending approval. The customer appreciated the clarity of Carmin’s proposal, the coordinated timeline, and the assurance of in-house accountability.
