Representative Carlson Reissiger introduced Five Star Bath Solutions’ Smart Choice Centrale wall system, recommending it for its antimicrobial surface, grout-free design, and stone-like durability. While rain-textured sliding doors were initially preferred, the final installation used an open-entry configuration with no doors to accommodate the close toilet placement. Carlson reviewed several wall system materials, helping the customer compare fiberglass and composite packages based on safety, value, and long-term maintenance.
The remodel used Five Star’s proprietary Smart Choice walls backed with non-organic double-thick sheathing, sealed edge-to-edge without grout or caulk. An integrated acrylic bench and three chrome grab bars were installed with solid blocking, including both vertical and angled supports. A corner-mounted shelf matched the wall finish and provided accessible storage. Fixtures included a handheld shower with adjustable positioning and matching hardware.
Installation followed a full demolition process down to the studs, ensuring any hidden moisture was identified and addressed. Updated plumbing was installed behind new waterproof backing. The remodel was completed by licensed in-house crews over two days, with scheduling staggered to maintain bathroom access during the project. Accessory placement was finalized during the walkthrough and executed per plan. Family-installed grab bars were retained where possible.
Warranty coverage includes Five Star’s transferable lifetime protection on walls, fixtures, and base, along with the Certified Craftsman Guarantee and No Surprise commitment. Final pricing included 77% off installation and additional promotional savings of 20%, bringing total project cost within the expected $18,300 to $23,500 range, depending on materials selected for both bathrooms. The customer prioritized the higher-end finish for this space and planned to finalize the second bathroom after consultation.
