Ted McCann from Five Star Bath Solutions introduced the Smart Choice system—engineered from layered PVC composite panels that mimic the look of real stone without the issues of tile. Seamless, grout-free walls resist moisture, stains, and mold, providing a low-maintenance finish. The selected Calacatta wall system, combined with chrome Delta fixtures, offered a clean modern upgrade that visually enlarged the space while keeping to the customer’s neutral design preferences. Although a barn-style frameless door was originally requested, a semi-frameless configuration with polished metal trim was installed instead.
Installation included a full demolition of the existing surround down to studs, with new drylock cement backer applied before fitting the custom pan and panel system. Plumbing remained in standard alignment, with chrome hardware and handheld shower installed. Corner-mounted shelving replaced the original wire racks, improving visual integration. The dry area (flooring, vanity, toilet) was prepped but not remodeled, allowing for separate handling by the customer. Installation was completed in three days and followed all local permit and safety protocols.
Five Star Bath Solutions extended their lifetime transferable warranty to cover labor, composite panels, silicone, plumbing, and glass elements. The customer was assured that no additional charges would apply for hidden issues, and any rot or structural corrections were included in the scope. Final pricing for the wet area remodel totaled approximately $17,680. Additional plumbing prep for the dry zone was also quoted but deferred for separate execution. The homeowner selected Five Star based on thorough planning, local reputation, and warranty terms.
