Default Tile on Diagonal Installer

OK I give up....I KNOW I have seen this mentioned many times, but searches of "diagonal" or "tile on diagonal" under Contractors and Services give me everything but what I am looking for.

Just purchased CYV in Tamarind Grove and want to change all living areas from carpet to 20" tile layed on diagonal. Who would you recommed? Will need this done at the end of October when I close, so want to go ahead and set it up now.

Any other suggestions as to grout, colors, textures are appreciated as well. I know that grout needs to be properly sealed or it becomes a cleaning issue. Appreciate all your help...

I can give you one name to call...Bill Smith, Tile Renovations, (321)205-3198. He just completed a big tile job for friends of ours and has done a couple small jobs for us, as well. Our friend's job involved tearing out tile and carpeting and redoing in tile, 1250+ sq. ft. He did a great job, taking dozens of measurements to get it all lined up perfectly with various door openings.

I used Eddie from E&G Tile he did mine when we took the Carpet out of the living room and hallway area. The Kitchen and entryway were already done on a diaginal. Was told by 1 guy it couldn't be done. He came did the job and you can't see old to new. Great job,good price and VERY neat.

A diagonal installer would do the same as a square installer. A good installer should be able to do either layout.
