Joey LeBlanc of Five Star Bath Solutions recommended the Smart Choice package, which includes antimicrobial composite panels that resist mold and mildew. While the original plan included a rain shower and handheld wand, the completed setup features a single overhead showerhead in brushed nickel finish. Glass doors were removed from the scope, and instead, an open alcove layout was completed without doors or grab bars. A recessed niche was installed in place of corner shelves for built-in storage. Joey emphasized the benefits of grout-free surfaces and highlighted the use of marine-grade silicone to avoid ongoing caulking needs.
The remodel was handled by certified, background-checked Five Star Bath Solutions employees. Installation included full demolition to the studs, removal of the original fiberglass tub, replacement of plumbing, and application of the shower shield waterproof backer board behind all panels. The ceiling was finished with crown-trimmed paneling to complete the enclosure. Although a custom linen cabinet was discussed, it was not installed with this remodel.
The Smart Choice system carries a lifetime transferable warranty, covering all components including panels, backer board, plumbing, and accessories. The project was initially quoted at $14,500, with several promotional discounts applied, including 77% off installation, a $750 cash incentive, and a $500 review credit, lowering the final cost to approximately $11,000. Financing terms included no money down, no payments for 30 days, and a three-day cancellation period.
