Tabitha Lambert of Five Star Bath Solutions presented the Smart Choice grout-free composite package, explaining its six-layer antimicrobial construction, non-porous surface, and patented Shower Shield backer board that eliminates water intrusion behind the walls. She emphasized that the Smart Choice system doesn’t require re-caulking or grout maintenance, uses marine-grade silicone for sealing, and offers stone-like aesthetics without the upkeep of tile or natural stone. Tabitha guided the customer through visual samples and a 3D rendering of her custom setup, ensuring all design choices met the customer’s functional and visual needs.
Tabitha explained that Five Star Bath Solutions, locally owned in Broussard and established in 1996, provides full-service remodeling with licensed and insured employees who are background-checked and drug-screened. The company uses no subcontractors and performs a full demo down to the studs, inspecting for and repairing any water damage at no additional cost. Installation was expected to take two days after a six- to eight-week material lead time. The company also ensures the safety of the work area and provides consistent communication throughout the project via the project manager and team leads.
The Smart Choice system comes with a full lifetime warranty covering all elements including the wall panels, shower base, plumbing, grab bars, and installation labor. The warranty is fully transferable to future homeowners or family members. The project’s MSRP was $14,626, but with a 77% installation discount and promotional offers, the customer was eligible to finance the full amount with monthly payments of $209. Although initial financing wasn’t approved due to income limitations, Tabitha explained options such as co-signing or deferring the start to save up. The customer, recognizing the value, expressed a desire to move forward after consulting with her daughter.
