Octopus Services Inc

Mark and his team were very responsive, good communicators and wonderful to work with. I will definitely use them again!

Did an excellent job -- very well pleased

They were a pleasure to work with; very easy process and the house looks great.

They did a very nice job, added a few small items I asked for at the last minute and got the job done quickly and professionally. I was very happy with the process as well as the results. I have used them before and will do so again.

Estimate was promptly provided by email. Friendly crew. Mark came with a big team (6 or 7 guys) and got the job done quickly at a very reasonable price. We will definitely have them back.

responsive, helpful, professional, accountable, trustworthy,

Very professional, excellent work.

Left message and he called back as a courtesy to let me know that his crew doesn't come to Marion even though he lives in Cardington. The reason I gave them a C is because I wonder who runs the company him or the crew?

I have used them for painting jobs inside as well. They did a good job. They cleaned up well. They were courteous and they are on time. They gave me three different options and they were all very reasonable. It allowed me to choose how much I wanted to invest on the doors.

Mark & his crew fixed everything. They were GREAT nice , nice people & the house looks great

The two young men did a fine job. The room's look great, exactly as we invisioned them.Although the price is a bit high, the quality is there!

It went perfectly. The crew cleaned up after themselves every day and did a great job. Mr. Spires made excellent recommendations for cedar board replacements, as well.

Their quality was very good. They are easy to work with. Our builder had recommended them and we have always been pleased with the work that they have done.

This is a great contractor. The painters showed up on time and continued until the job was completely finished. Contractor came back out to inspect the job when it was finished. I told them a couple of things that I wanted done and they did - right away. This contractor is extremely detail oriented and takes customer service seriously!

Well supervised and workers were very friendly and professional. Octopus paints for many of the neighbors in the area and do a great job.

They were knowledgeable and pleasant. The work was delayed a bit due to weather but that was understandable. The only glitch was that they forgot to do one side of the house (!) but when it was pointed out they quickly came back to do it.

Overall they did an excellent job. I received an estimate in a timely manner. They were easy to work with. Also they were accurate in their estimate.

They were fast and thorough. They got the job done well. I use them all the time.

This company does a lot of work for my builder, so he sent them. I received a quote, they started the work within about two weeks, they were always right on time (8 a.m.), were very polite and professional, and were easy to work with. Mark stopped by almost every day to check on the work, and to make sure that I was satisfied. I would definitely use them in the future, and recommend them to others.

They are reliable fair priced and their quality of work is very good. I will consider using them again in the future.

Overall the job was excellent. The skim-coating wasn't perfect. The most important things, the lines where the colors met, especially where the thin edges of the mouldings met the flat surfaces, were in fact perfect (or as close to it as I can tell). On one section of trim, in the most visible location, the new paint made the old paint buckle and bubble. Mark fixed this at no extra charge, which was more than his obligation. I needed excellence on this job and I got it. This is the third time I've used Octopus, and Mark's professionalism simply can't be overstated. He pays close attention to his projects, consults with me closely, is always easy to work with, and works hard to make each project go as smoothly as possible.

Two painters worked during two days to paint the wood trim around 16 windows, the roof line, vertical corners, fascia, and porch area of our two-story house. This was done in cooperation with a second contractor who had just installed roofing, windows, and siding. Two coats of paint were required to cover newly installed trim around the windows, when is was discovered that one coat was not enough. The painters were very good at adjusting their schedule to accommodate the removal of the gutters by the other contractor to expose the fascia for complete coverage. A few minor issues were resolved very quickly after inspection.

OCTOPUS SERVICES WAS $600 HIGHER THAN TWO OTHER BIDS WE RECEIVED. WE HAD OCTOPUS PAINT OUR HOUSE EIGHT YEARS AGO AND LIKED THE QUALITY OF WORK BACK THEN. WHAT IS IMPRESSIVE ABOUT OCTOPUS IS THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE. BOTH TIMES WE HAD TO HAVE A FOLLOW UP CALL. NOT DUE TO LACK OF SKILL, BUT JUST BECAUSE ''THINGS HAPPEN''. THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED INSTANTLY. WE ARE AGAIN VERY PLEASED WITH THEIR SERVICE, AND WE ARE GLAD WE PAID THE HIGHER PRICE. SOUNDS WEIRD IN A DAY WHERE BARGAINS ARE IMPORTANT. BUT, WE BELIEVE YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR IN THE END.

WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND OCTOPUS SERVICES. HAD USED HIM YEARS AGO. MARK SPIRES, OWNER, CONTINUES TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT SERVICE AND WAS PRICED COMPETITIVELY. NOW HAS SEVERAL CREWS, BUT HE WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AND RETURNED CALLS QUICKLY. SENT A WONDERFUL GENTLEMAN OUT BEFORE THE JOB STARTED TO GET THE STAIN COLOR RIGHT. STAINING WAS DONE BY BRUSH, SO HAD EXCELLENT RESULTS. MARK ALSO PERSONALLY INSPECTED THE JOB, AND HAD CREW BACK TO FINISH JOB TO HIS AND OUR SATISFACTION. MARK PERSONALLY REFINISHED OUR OAK FRONT DOOR, WHICH WAS IN SERIOUS NEED OF HELP! LOOKS WONDERFUL.

I RECEIVED FOUR QUOTES FROM PAINTERS I RESEARCHED ON ANGIE'S LIST. ALL FOUR SEEMED EXCELLENT AND WE WENT W/ OCTOPUS BECAUSE THEY COULD GET HER AND PAINT BEFORE COLD WEATHER SET IN AND MARK SPIRES, THE OWNER, SEEMED VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HELPFUL. OVERALL, WE WERE VERY VERY PLEASED. THEY WERE MORE EXPENSIVE BUT I FEEL YOU OFTEN GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. THEY CREW WAS ON-TIME, PROFESSIONAL, FRIENDLY AND HARD-WORKING. I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED TO GET ASSISTANCE IN PICKING THE COLORS OF THE HOUSE WHICH TURNED OUT GREAT. THEY ALWAYS ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS AND PHONE CALLS PROMPTLY. I FELT AS IF I RECEIVED SEVERAL TIPS THAT ULTIMATELY SAVED ME MONEY NOW AND MORE WORK IN THE FUTURE. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR GUTTERS ARE ABOUT 8 YEARS OLD. MARK RECOMMENDED AGAINST PAINTING THEM BECAUSE THEY REALLY DIDN'T NEED IT AND ONCE YOU PAINT THEM, THEY TEND TO NEED MORE FREQUENT PAINTING THAN THE WOOD AND STUCCO. THE HOUSE LOOKS VERY NICE! WE RECOMMEND OCTOPUS SERVICES TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR PAINTERS.
