Claude Monteiro of Five Star Bath Solutions recommended the Smart Choice six-layer composite system, featuring an 8K-printed stone-image matte finish with antimicrobial and scratch-resistant properties. Panels were backed by waterproof Hydro Block cement-foam board to eliminate grout lines and hidden moisture issues. Five Star’s East Bay office, boasting an A+ BBB rating and over 28 years of experience, provides fully licensed, bonded, and insured in-house installers.
Installation included full demolition to the studs, inspection and remediation of any moisture, PEX plumbing upgrades, and fitting of a two-inch slip-resistant shower pan. Composite wall panels were precision-cut around a recessed niche with dual integrated shelves. A new alcove tub was installed flush with the surround and tied into upgraded Rainhead fixtures in a brushed-brass finish. Work was completed in two days, including site protection, demo, installation, and thorough cleanup.
Smart Choice carries a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering all materials, parts, labor, and plumbing—no prorated reductions or hidden fees for mold or plumbing remediation. A senior discount and review incentive reduced the final price to $14,777 from $16,000, backed by Five Star’s price-match guarantee and pressure-free consultation.
