The Five Star Bath Solutions representative introduced the Smart Choice composite system as a practical alternative to natural stone. The Everest panel style was selected for its clean, neutral tones and seamless slab look. This package replicated the appearance of high-end finishes while eliminating grout, lowering maintenance, and avoiding common tile-related issues. The representative explained how Shower Shield backing offers a mold-proof, closed-cell core reinforced with cement, making it stronger than traditional green board and highly water-resistant. Matte black Delta fixtures were reviewed but ultimately adjusted to chrome for alignment with the final result.
Installation took place over two days. The crew installed a new shower base, wall panels extending to the ceiling, a full-depth bench with a sloped front, and recessed niches. All fixtures, including a handheld showerhead, were plumbed to the customer’s preferred location. Though pony walls and a hinged door were initially discussed, the completed setup used a bypass glass system with polished chrome framing to accommodate the room layout and simplify function. The window remained protected by waterproof trim, allowing natural light while maintaining water integrity.
Five Star Bath Solutions backed the remodel with a lifetime transferable warranty on the full Smart Choice package, covering product, labor, and installation. The representative discussed transparent pricing, upgrade incentives, and the company’s reputation for detailed work and clear communication. With over 30,000 installations completed and a 4.9-star local rating, the customer felt confident the work would meet resale expectations while delivering a functional and visually cohesive bathroom upgrade.
