"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"
"This was my first experience with hiring a contractor to perform a number of projects to be done one after another (complete tear down and replacement in shower area (tile, shower door, shower pan, plumbing, etc.; removal of popcorn on multiple variable height ceilings, installation of ceramic floors in 2 bathrooms, etc) . Everything went real good and looks beautiful. So good I decided to have the tile and fixtures in the bathtub area in another bathroom totally redone and called Conway Construction again. Once again, everything turned out very nice."

Larger tiles can be difficult to install because they’re heavier and bulkier than their smaller counterparts, which makes them harder to haul around and put in place. Plus, if you don’t install the tiles correctly, they could crack or break. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a professional for large-format tile installation.
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.
Ceramic tile can be slightly less expensive than porcelain pavers. You can find outdoor ceramic tile for as little as $1 per square foot, but high-end options tend to cost the same as porcelain.
If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward.
Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls.
