Carlson Reissiger of Five Star Bath Solutions reviewed system choices ranging from fiberglass to acrylic and Smart Choice Centrale. He recommended the Centrale system for its grout-free antimicrobial surface, stone-pattern finish, and durability. Carlson explained that their double-thick, non-organic backer board provides long-term resistance to mold, and each project is gutted to the studs to inspect for hidden damage. The clean top-entry nano-grip pan was presented as a safer upgrade to prevent slips without requiring coatings or add-ons. Carlson also noted the client’s bathroom configuration allowed for a doorless layout to maximize access without obstructing adjacent cabinetry.
Installation would occur over two days following final material order. Carlson noted that the compact layout and plumbing position made this shower ideal for full-height wall panels and one fixed corner shelf alongside a three-tier recessed niche for product storage. The project required adjustments to the framing near the vanity and closet wall, and the crew would complete these refinements within the original quote. Carlson ensured that finishes remained cohesive with surrounding decor using chrome trim and fixtures.
Five Star Bath Solutions includes a lifetime transferable warranty covering plumbing, product, labor, and backer materials when installed as a complete system. The customer qualified for 20% promotional pricing, and same-day bonus incentives. Though the original scope included two bathrooms, the current installation focused on one shower, with the second to follow pending discussion with a shared household member. Carlson’s recommendations and clarity made the process simple, and the customer was satisfied with the proposed design.
