Julie Stroud, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, presented the Smart Choice package’s antimicrobial, scratch‑resistant PVC panels that mimic natural marble but install easily and repel moisture. She emphasized proprietary multi‑layer construction and industrial‑grade adhesives unavailable at retail stores, backed by a small local team with the support of a 28‑year national franchise. Franchise owner Jared’s hands‑on involvement at measure and walkthrough stages reinforced trust in their in‑house installers.
Installation was completed in two days. The crew demoed to the studs, verified plumbing and leaks, and installed solid backer board, waterproof membrane, composite panels, a seamless pan, a built‑in bench, and a two‑tier recessed niche sized for tall pump bottles. Delta commercial‑grade handheld fixtures were mounted at bench level, with provisions made for two future brushed‑nickel grab bars and a glass enclosure. Cleanup and debris removal occurred same day without a dumpster.
Five Star Bath Solutions provides a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering the waterproof space, panels, caulk, and adhesives. Financing options include 10 % down with monthly payments or half‑upfront/half‑on‑completion at zero interest. Senior and cash discounts apply, with preferred pricing of $14,611 valid through month’s end. A third of the total is due at final measurement, scheduled six weeks out.
