Five Star Bath Solutions recommended their Smart Choice composite wall system, emphasizing its antimicrobial, grout-free surface and full waterproof backing. Koren Goettler explained that the system's matte finish and realistic stone design provided aesthetic appeal without maintenance burdens. The proprietary Shower Shield backer board and locking wall panel system ensured long-term leak prevention, which was critical for a space used by a resident with specific care requirements. Basic chrome Delta fixtures and corner shelving were suggested for a clean, functional, and cost-effective setup, with customization focused on usability and safety.
The existing tub was removed down to the studs and subfloor before the new low-threshold base and full-height composite panels were installed. Grab bars were securely positioned both vertically and horizontally to allow safe entry and stability. The final result included a fixed glass sliding door system, not initially specified, but likely added to support moisture control and extended use. All visible updates, including the chrome hardware and shelving, matched the original design requests. Despite the original request for a white finish, the final wall selection featured a Calacatta-style marble pattern, consistent with the Smart Choice aesthetic but visually distinct from plain white.
Five Star Bath Solutions backed the remodel with a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering product and labor. Ryan, the care manager, received assurances of no hidden charges through the No Surprise Guarantee and the Best Value pledge for competitive bids. The company’s certified, insured installers ensured a protected jobsite, and the accelerated schedule supported the required move-in timeline. All documentation was provided for DDA program submission, enabling reimbursement approval under accessibility funding requirements.
