The Flying Painter
Prep work that gets flaking ceilings and rusted carports properly fixed before any paint goes on.
The thing everyone keeps bringing up is the prep. Flaking ceilings sanded back and sealed, cracks repaired, rust ground off carports and primed with metal paint before the topcoat. That points to painters who don't just roll colour over problems. Marshall and Chris both get named repeatedly, with Tim and Keith appearing on bigger interior jobs. One clear booking tip from a few reviews: Chris quotes and starts fast, sometimes within a week, so have your dates ready. One customer had a rough time with a revised quote, but 49 others in this sample describe exactly the opposite. For a full render or tricky ceiling, ask whether Marshall will be on the tools.

About The Flying Painter
Chris runs a crew that handles whole-house repaints, roof repairs, plaster fixes and even rusty metal carports. Marshall gets named constantly for interior work and large patios. Tim and Keith pop up too, so you often know who will turn up. Reviews keep mentioning prep work other painters skip, like levelling flaking ceilings back to gyprock and sealing them properly. They take on small jobs like a single ceiling patch that needed three days of drying between coats. One homeowner organised the whole job from overseas without a drama. Chris has been quoted as an actual painter and decorator by trade, which shows in the neat edges and taped-up vents reviewers describe. They do commercial end-of-lease work as well as family homes, often squeezing jobs in at short notice. The only sore point is one customer who said their quote jumped twice while waiting on finance approval, so lock your price in writing before you book.
Best for: whole house repaints with proper prep, small patch-up jobs other painters knock back, and fast turnaround work when you need walls sorted quickly.

Does The Flying Painter take on small jobs?+
Yes. A few reviewers mention small jobs like patching one roof hole or painting a single room. Chris came out for a three-day plaster and paint repair that many painters wouldn't bother with.
Who will be doing the work at my place?+
Chris usually runs the job and works alongside Marshall on many projects. Tim and Keith show up on larger interior jobs. If you want a specific person, ask at quote time rather than assuming.
How quickly can The Flying Painter start?+
Very quickly, going by reviews. Multiple customers said Chris responded within a day, quoted fast, and began within a week. One said the whole interior was finished two weeks from first contact.
Do they do commercial work?+
Yes. Reviews mention end-of-lease office repaints and a small commercial office with bathroom. One customer said The Flying Painter was one of the only businesses that actually responded to their commercial enquiry.
Are their quotes competitive?+
Several customers said Chris's price came in lower than other quotes they received. That said, one customer reported revised pricing while waiting on bank finance, so confirm your quote in writing before booking.
