"Dan and his team were excellent. They were very communicative and had good ideas for various floors. The tile and new wood staining came out great. I would definitely use them again. Dan was sure to make sure everything came out right - even redid a good portion of the stain when we thought they might be finished. He definitely expects the absolute best."
"From quote process to finished product everything went really smooth and quick. They did a great job on our backsplash in a short amount of time and it looks fantastic! If we’re ever in need of tile work again, they’ll be our first choice! Highly recommended!"

"Hiring Prowess Tile was hands down the greatest experience with a contracted tile installation.
About 2 years ago I had a horrible experience with a contractor who I had hired to lay tile in a small space in the basement entry way. This previous contractor kept pushing back my project due to larger projects that took longer than expected, so he said. Worst thing was I paid for materials quoted prior to the start of the project. Job was rushed and quality did not meet expectations.
Brad from Prowess Tile came over to consult and quote for a bathroom renovation project. During the consult, he first heard what our vision was for the project and heard our concerns. He then provided his expert opinions and advice to better make final decisions, along with suggestions for alternative layouts that ultimately turned out better than what we envisioned. Brad was honest on timing of project and pricing of the quote, which in my book is admirable in this day of age.
Highly recommend Prowess"

Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.
