Seeking excellent tile installer

Our bathroom renovation has been delayed, and now my contractor’s highly recommended tile guy is unavailable.  We are using Subway Ceramics 3×6 tile which are installed with 1/32″ grout lines so that it forms a flat, uniform surface — with no room for error.
Does anyone know an excellent installer — someone neat, exact, careful — they can recommend?  I’m pretty picky when it comes to tile and I don’t want to look at mistakes for the next 20 years with regret.
Thanks!

Mentor Frangu is not only an excellent tile installer, he is a really good guy. Did a beautiful job on our mess of a kitchen floor… so much so that it survived Sandy. Now he is renovating our bathroom. I cannot speak highly enough of him. We have had some shameless cowboys work for us so finding Mentor was a real blessing.

You can see a picture of my work two posts above.  Would my clients describe me as an excellent tile setter?  You can contact me through the directory here, show me the job, and ask me for references. – Green Mountain
