Our Story

Oscar painted his first house when he was 17 years old and worked in the painting industry ever since. Oscar began his professional career through completing a four-year union apprenticeship program and went on to work for a union company out of Miami. In 2007, Oscar decided he would like to share his expertise and commitment to service as a business owner and established O.R. Painting Inc. Starting a painting business in the height of a recession brought its challenges but, Oscar was able to make it work because of his skill, knowledge of painting, and commitment to integrity in the industry. Oscar and his wife Alexis have two boys, ages 8 and 5, who keep him very busy.

Alexis was born in Philadelphia, PA and grew up as a child by the shore in South Jersey. She moved to Miami when she was 13 and has been a part of the South Florida community ever since. Alexis began her career in customer service 20 years ago while still in high school as a hostess and waitress in a local restaurant. She continued this work throughout college as it was a flexible job as well as fun. After graduating from Barry University in Miami Shores, FL with a B.S. in Biology in 2007, she went down a different career path. Alexis had a passion for makeup artistry and enrolled in Cosmix School of Makeup Artistry in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Upon graduation, Alexis was hired by M.A.C. Cosmetics where during her tenure, was eventually promoted to Retail Manager. Here, Alexis found a passion for running a business and leading a team. From 2008 to 2014, Alexis had assisted her husband Oscar with running O.R. Painting where she performed most of the office tasks and some tasks in the field. In 2014, Oscar and Alexis found out they were expecting their first child so, she left her job for a new career in painting and running the family business. In 2014, Alexis became President of O.R. Painting Inc., and is greatful for the opportunity she has in running this company. Alexis completed her M.B.A. from Western Governors University in 2019 and has dedicated her career to operating a business that intends to raise the bar in her community. She intends to grow a company where the art and techniques of painting are nurtured by a staff of professionally trained painters and leaders in the industry. She hopes that someday O.R. Painting will not only be local leaders in the painting industry but, also for training apprentices to become skilled professionals with a career path they can be proud of and with a wage they can adequatly raise their families on. Alexis and Oscar now have two lovely boys, a dog, and two cats who they spend all of their spare time with.

I became a painter because at first I just needed a full-time job but, then I liked it and kept doing it. My favorite painting technique is staining wood because it is a beautiful process. I enjoy working for O.R. Painting because everyone on the crew has a good friendship and best of all we get to work at some beautiful properties by the sea. When I am not working, I enjoy passing time with my baby boy, wife, and older son. My favorite hobby is to play soccer and I am from Nicaragua.

I became a painter out of necessity but quickly found that I enjoyed it. My favorite painting techniques are caulking, spraying, and cut/roll. I favor these because I am good at them. My favorite thing about working for O.R. Painting is the vibes of the crew. When I’m not working I enjoy barbequing with my family at the beach.
