We offer leading solutions for bath and shower remodeling, including custom bath-wall systems, new bathtubs, or tub to shower conversion, walk-in bathtubs and much more. We provide quality bath and shower remodeling at an affordable price.
"Five Star Bath Solutions doesn't deserve even 1 star. Five Star Bath Solutions contacted me after I listed on Angi's List I wanted to remodel a bathroom. The employees are personable and pictures of completed showers look nice. I was tempted to use them because they could schedule the job within 3 to 6 weeks and told me it would take 2 to 3 days. I explained what I wanted to the salesman. She had Bo, her project mgr come to the house to ck the job before scheduling. The salesman told me Five Star used high quality materials. Bo told me they would move the vent, complete the drywall, set the new toilet supplied by me, fix a hole in the floor that opened to the basement and do flooring. While Bo stayed in the bathroom looking it over - the salesman and I sat at a table while she went over the prices. I am ashamed to admit I agreed to $13,316. I paid a $6,000 deposit. I didn't realize Bo made some changes to my plan. The Five Star installer showed up by himself. I asked if he would fix the hole in the floor first as it was dangerous. He replied: I don't do that. I asked if he would repair a few drywall holes when he put up the new drywall. He replied: I don't put up or patch drywall. I asked where the vent would be moved. He replied: I don't move the vent. Perplexed, I called Kristen the office mgr. I told her the installer was not prepared to do the items Bo said he would do. Also, I told her the materials looked cheap. Kristen told me I couldn't tell if the materials were cheap just by looking at them. She said they only installed showers and I must have misunderstood. I told her I would pay $1,000 for the small amount of demolition that had been done and to stop the job. I asked for my deposit back. She said she would get back to me. Later the owner of Five Star Bath Solutions called me. He said there was a misunderstanding. He wanted to keep $3,000 for materials ordered to stop the job. In retrospect I should have taken the loss and learned a lesson. He offered to deduct $3,816 from the shower price if I let the installer put the shower in. I caved and let them continue the job. The installer asked me where I wanted the seat installed. Bo had changed the shower to a smaller size. No one would have been able to stand comfortably if the seat had been installed. The shower cost me $9,500. The workmanship is poor. You can see where seams are poorly joined and caulk showing in spaces rather than finely and evenly seamed. The materials do look cheap especially a piece of trim they put up where there is a seam on the shower wall. When I interviewed a contractor to finish the bathroom. He asked if I wanted the shower replaced. I told him what happened and that I couldn't afford to replace it now but maybe next year. He said it was unfortunate I paid so much because one wall is bowed and the shower wall material didn't look like it could take a lot of use. I won't depend on Angi's List for referrels in the future."

Your galley kitchen needs adequate clearance around any island installation to maintain functionality. Most galley kitchens lack sufficient width for traditional islands, as these layouts prioritize efficiency in smaller spaces.
If your kitchen has an unusual width, consult with a kitchen designer who can evaluate your specific dimensions and recommend appropriate solutions. For narrower spaces, consider alternatives like rolling carts or narrow work tables that provide additional surface area without permanently restricting movement.
Kitchen remodels require six to 10 weeks for completion, though timelines vary based on project scope and material availability. Simple updates like cabinet refinishing and countertop replacement might finish within a few weeks, while comprehensive renovations involving structural changes often extend beyond two months.
Planning stages add approximately four weeks before construction begins. Maintaining clear communication with your contractor and ordering materials early helps prevent unnecessary delays.
Common errors include insufficient clearance between opposing countertops, inadequate lighting that creates shadowy work areas, and poor storage planning that leaves countertops cluttered. Some homeowners select oversized appliances that overwhelm the space or invest in expensive features that don't address fundamental workflow issues.
Careful planning, accurate measurements, and consultation with experienced professionals help avoid these pitfalls and ensure your renovation successfully addresses your kitchen's specific challenges.
Whether expansion makes sense depends on your home's layout, your budget, and your long-term plans. Combining a galley kitchen with neighboring spaces creates more open, flexible layouts that many buyers prefer. However, removing walls involves substantial costs, particularly if they contain plumbing, electrical systems, or structural elements.
Sometimes, optimizing your existing galley layout through better storage solutions and lighting proves more cost-effective than expansion. Consult with a contractor to evaluate specific costs for your situation.
Effective galley kitchen lighting combines multiple sources to eliminate shadows and create visual spaciousness. Overhead fixtures provide general illumination, while under-cabinet lighting illuminates work surfaces directly. Consider recessed ceiling fixtures that don't protrude into limited headspace.
Lighting with dimming capabilities allows adjustment for different activities. Reflective surfaces like glass tile backsplashes or glossy cabinet finishes help bounce light throughout the space, reducing the corridor effect common in galley layouts.
