Dave Fosmire, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, presented the company’s four-tier system lineup, recommending the Smart Choice composite panel series for its realistic stone patterning, domestic production, and long-term durability. Dave highlighted the product’s quarter-inch solid core construction and non-absorbent surface, which eliminates grout and inhibits mold growth. He reinforced that the panels are supported by an inorganic, foam-and-cement waterproof backer—stronger and more resilient than standard drywall. The project was structured to accommodate the customer’s layout preferences, including a framed partition return and a custom-fit base with high-traction surfacing that exceeds ADA friction standards.
The installation involved a full demolition of the existing tiled enclosure, removal of the framed glass door system, and cleanup without customer-supplied disposal. New plumbing valves were installed along with Smart Choice wall panels in a soft marbled finish. The new layout includes dual corner shelves and a handheld shower wand with a chrome fixture set. Although the original request included a recessed niche and corner bench, the final configuration includes shelving only—no bench or niche was installed. Floor protection and dust mitigation were applied throughout, and all work was performed by in-house, background-checked team members.
Five Star Bath Solutions offers a transferable lifetime warranty on the Smart Choice system, covering both materials and labor. The company also provides a no-surprise guarantee that eliminates mid-project cost increases, a best-value guarantee that refunds price differences plus $100, and a property protection pledge to address accidental damage during install. A family discount was applied to the final estimate due to the customer’s retired educator status, and flexible scheduling incentives further improved project value.
