Scot Kemmer presented Five Star Bath Solutions’ Smart Choice composite system as a grout-free alternative to the previous tiled interior. The customer dismissed fiberglass and acrylic options in favor of a more durable panel that offered antimicrobial protection, non-porous surface, and a realistic stone look without grout maintenance. A custom thermal-insulated base was selected to provide non-slip texture and eliminate subfloor flex. Oil-rubbed bronze fixtures were included to match the updated aesthetic, and the panel system was color-matched to blend with existing decor.
Scot detailed the installation process, which included full demolition to the studs, repair of any damaged substrate, and replacement of all PEX plumbing. Installation was completed in two days and included waterproofing with Shower Shield cement-coated closed-cell foam backer board. The remodel preserved the existing shower footprint but elevated function and finish through modernized components and precise workmanship.
Five Star Bath Solutions provided a full lifetime warranty covering product, parts, and labor, including transferability. Scot emphasized the local service model and background-checked team, distinguishing their offering from national competitors with short-term labor guarantees. The total remodel, originally quoted at $18,169, included a 77% labor discount, a $500 social promo, and a Same Day Upgrade to the Smart Choice system, bringing the final cost to $12,727. Financing through Foundation included zero down and long-term payment flexibility.
