Antigone McKenna, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, explained that the company provides extensive design autonomy, allowing customers to select and independently purchase items such as vanities, cabinets, and lighting, which Five Star then installs. She strongly recommended composite materials for shower walls, highlighting their significant advantages over fiberglass or natural stone, including durability, resistance to moisture, ease of maintenance, and embedded antimicrobial silver protection.
The completed bathroom, consistent with these recommendations, now features sleek white composite walls with an elegant marble-like appearance, entirely eliminating grout issues. The composite system includes the mentioned quad lock and silicone-sealed construction, ensuring superior water resistance. Complementing this sophisticated look is a modern sliding glass shower door with clear frameless glass panels and polished chrome fixtures, including a sturdy chrome handle bar and a handheld showerhead, aligning seamlessly with customer preferences.
The meticulous 10-step installation protocol by Five Star was strictly adhered to, beginning with comprehensive space protection and inspection. Existing plumbing was upgraded using reliable PEX lines paired with premium Delta hardware. Structural reinforcement was achieved using backer board behind the composite walls, further enhancing durability. Additionally, the installation involved optional services such as painting and drywall repair according to customer preference.
Communication, punctuality, and budget adherence were key concerns addressed effectively during the project, which was efficiently completed within just 1-2 days, precisely meeting the family’s timeline.
Antigone further detailed warranty advantages, noting the lifetime transferable coverage offered by the composite wall system, covering products, parts, and workmanship comprehensively, and providing added value for potential resale.
Financial flexibility was also provided through available financing, including no down payment options, manageable monthly payments as low as $159, and no penalties for early repayment. The final project investment was quoted at $13,931 but reduced through promotional pricing and a veteran discount to $10,586, effectively balancing quality and affordability for the family.
