George Molina of Five Star Bath Solutions presented the SmartChoice system using antimicrobial, six-layer acrylic composite panels. These panels are engineered to resist mold, staining, and scratches while maintaining a clean, grout-free surface. George emphasized the system’s durability and waterproofing, achieved through Hydro Block foam-core backer boards layered with rubber cement. Unlike one-piece liners used by competitors, this solution is built from the studs out, maximizing long-term reliability and customization. All materials are U.S.-made, and installation is handled by in-house licensed employees.
Installation followed a detailed 10-step process, including full demolition to the studs, plumbing evaluation, subfloor repair, and complete replacement of plumbing lines. White acrylic wall panels were sealed with antimicrobial marine-grade silicone. Technicians added all selected components including the chrome showerhead, grab bars, corner shelves, and teak bench. Debris was cleared upon completion, and the crew conducted a walkthrough to ensure each element met the customer’s expectations. A digital configurator supported visual planning for fixture and accessory placement.
Five Star Bath Solutions provides a fully transferable lifetime warranty that covers all products, materials, and labor. George also outlined the company’s four guarantees: Best Value (price match plus $100 back), No Surprise Promise (fixed pricing), Certified Craftsman (licensed staff), and Property Protection (full site safeguarding). Final pricing for the remodel totaled $16,510, funded in full by Luzerne County MHMR. The customer chose Five Star due to confidence in the materials, service, and George’s expertise.
