Julie Stroud of Five Star Bath Solutions explained the Smart Choice panel system’s antimicrobial, scratch-resistant surface, sealed with a clear coat for lasting durability. She detailed the multilayer PVC construction printed in 8K stone imagery, the cement-fiberglass backer board, and industrial-grade waterproof adhesives that eliminate mold and moisture behind the walls. Five Star’s exclusively in-house, background-checked installers—personally trained by owner Jared Bashirian—ensure consistent quality. Julie noted that Five Star specializes solely in bathroom remodeling, with no subcontractors and owner-overseen measure appointments.
Installation included full demolition to studs and subfloor, moisture inspection and correction of any leaks or damage at no extra charge, installation of backer board and adhesives, custom composite pan set, panel and trim installation, plumbing connections for fixed and handheld heads, and door mounting. The two-day project was scheduled within a six-to-eight-week window to align with move-in timing.
Five Star Bath Solutions provides a fully transferable, lifetime, non-prorated warranty covering all wall panels, caulking, adhesives, Delta fixtures, and labor, with a no-surprise guarantee for any required subfloor or plumbing repairs. MSRP of $13,995 was reduced to a final price of $13,495 after a 75% installation discount and cash incentive. A one-third deposit is due at measure, with the balance due upon final walkthrough and approval.
