Omar Rivera founded Dr. Paint in January 2014 after transitioning from Active Duty in the U.S. Air Force to the Reserve Component. Based at their Bunnell office, Omar handles estimates and project consultations while his wife Katherine manages business operations. Office manager Ashley coordinates scheduling, color selection, and client communication. Crew leaders Daniel, Francisco, and Anthony each run dedicated painting teams on residential and commercial projects throughout the region.
The company handles interior and exterior residential painting, commercial projects including multi-unit condominium complexes, epoxy garage floor installations, pressure washing, drywall repair, and deck and fence painting. They use Benjamin Moore, PPG, and Sherwin-Williams products and offer low and no VOC paint options for all interior work.
The fully insured veteran-owned team offers a five-year labor and materials warranty with a Make-It-Right Guarantee on all projects. Dr. Paint serves Flagler County, Volusia County, St. Johns County, and Putnam County, covering Palm Coast, Daytona Beach, St. Augustine, Ormond Beach, and surrounding communities.
When Corey noticed paint peeling and fading about a year after his interior and exterior project, Omar personally came out, contacted the manufacturer representative, and then sent a crew to pressure wash and repaint two full sides of the house. Corey confirms this was done "all at no charge" and says if he could give "10 stars I would but the scale only allows five." He also offered to let prospective customers tour his home to see the results.

David Freeland received three or four estimates before choosing Dr. Paint, selecting them because of "the level of detail and discussions prior to receiving the quote." Vanessa Rivera acknowledges they are "not the cheapest on the block, but their work is incredible." Alma Galinski calls the price "absolutely fair" while Jeri Fisher praises their "very competitive prices." One reviewer (Chad Jolley) felt a $2,500+ garage quote was too high.

Frances Kharuf provides detailed insight into the prep process. She describes how they "move dirt and any other obstacles from the foundation of the house to ensure every inch is painted" and "remove them before painting, and install them again when the paint is dry" for exterior lights. Daniel and his crew "scraped away old chipped paint, pressure washed our entire house exterior, and cleaned up everything after they were done."
