Antigone McKenna introduced the Smart Choice composite system, which she positioned as the most durable and visually appealing option available. The six-layer composite panels offer antimicrobial and scratch-resistant protection while closely mimicking the look of natural stone. The selected finish—a rich, deep brown marble pattern—was chosen for its warmth and harmony with the rest of the bathroom. While brushed nickel was initially requested, the final selection included oil-rubbed bronze fixtures for a more balanced match with the new design. The bow-front almond-colored tub was custom installed to maintain water capacity without affecting the layout or flooring.
Five Star Bath Solutions, a nationally franchised but locally operated provider, assigned in-house certified installers to complete the project. Full demolition of the old unit down to the studs was carried out, followed by plumbing replacement and subfloor inspection. The new composite surround was installed with waterproof fiberglass-mesh backer board and concrete-core reinforcement. All work was performed with protective drop cloths and attention to jobsite cleanliness. The customer was informed of the expedited timeline, and a project manager was scheduled for final measurement and confirmation shortly after signing.
Five Star Bath Solutions provides a lifetime transferable warranty on all Smart Choice systems, including coverage for product, labor, and workmanship. The customer was reassured by the clarity of terms, the absence of subcontractors, and the company’s straightforward, no-pressure process. Contract was finalized with full payment by check, and all selections and specifications were documented clearly for a seamless transition to installation.
