The representative introduced the Smart Choice system, which features a grout-free, non-porous composite wall surface that resists mold, cracking, and daily wear. The antimicrobial finish ensures easier cleaning, and the proprietary waterproof backer board with marine-grade silicone sealing reinforces structural protection behind the walls. Although a black-and-white palette was initially considered, the selected package featured a solid, veined stone-look wall in a light neutral tone. A combination rainfall and handheld showerhead system was installed, along with integrated shelving to accommodate daily items while maintaining visual clarity and accessibility.
Five Star Bath Solutions, serving the Broussard, LA area as a locally owned franchise under a nationally recognized brand, handled the remodel using factory-trained employees—not subcontractors. Installation involved full demolition of the tub and wall tiles down to the studs, followed by plumbing replacement and installation of a custom low-threshold composite base. The new pan was fitted flush to the subfloor to improve drainage and eliminate step-over hazards. A pair of stainless steel grab bars were securely mounted within the new system to enhance safety. The installation spanned multiple days, with no issues encountered during demolition or reconstruction.
The Smart Choice remodel package is backed by a fully transferable lifetime warranty that covers all included materials, labor, plumbing, and accessories. The company maintains strong BBB ratings, carries full liability insurance, and adheres to a no-surprise pricing guarantee. While third-party financing was not approved, the homeowner expressed satisfaction with the plan to pursue bank-supported alternatives. Transparent communication and thoughtful design recommendations contributed to the customer’s confidence in the project’s outcome.
