The final installation features a frameless open-entry layout with a low-threshold base and full-height wall panels finished in a multitone stone-look composite. The Smart Choice wall system includes smooth composite surfaces with dynamic gray veining in a matte finish. A brushed Delta rain showerhead was installed overhead, and a pair of integrated corner shelves provide functional storage. A liner and curtain were added to complete the open look and keep water contained.
Scot Kemmer, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, recommended the Smart Choice wall series due to its waterproof construction, grout-free design, and layered imaging for a natural stone look. The PVC composite is antimicrobial and non-porous, requiring only minimal upkeep. Scot emphasized that all installations are performed by certified, background-checked professionals, and that the local franchise has maintained an A+ Better Business Bureau rating for over 30 years. The customer selected the white pearl finish to reflect light and modernize the small enclosure.
Scot outlined the full process, beginning with floor protection, complete demo to studs, and inspection of subfloor and framing. He detailed the installation of a thermal-insulated non-slip base and proprietary Shower Shield backing made from cement-coated closed-cell foam. Quad-lock corners and antimicrobial silicone sealant were used to prevent moisture intrusion and maintain long-term durability. PEX plumbing was upgraded and brought to code before final wall panel and fixture placement.
Five Star Bath Solutions provides a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering the product, installation, and parts. The quote included all labor, tear-out, repairs, and waterproofing, with transparent pricing. A one-year quote of $23,313 was presented, alongside a promotional 30-day price of $17,850, which included a 77% discount on labor. Additional savings options were discussed, but the customer, with a background in contracting, expressed interest in completing future remodels independently.
