The Shields Painting Difference: Perfection with Every Brush Stroke
Many painting companies in Florida rely on flashy marketing and big promises to try and attract new clients. But when it comes time to work, they fall short of their promises.

Our goal is to leave you 100% satisfied, whether we're touching up an old residential paint job or performing a complex commercial project.

At Shields Painting, we know how important it is to have a home that highlights your tastes and personality. That's why we offer an extensive array of residential painting services in Citrus County.

The majority of our house painting services come in two forms: interior and exterior.
Interior Residential Painting
As an interior painting contractor with decades of experience, our expert technicians have developed an interior painting process that maximizes quality and emphasizes customer satisfaction. We understand that interior painting goes beyond aesthetics. It protects your ceilings and walls and helps you sustain a healthier place to live for your family. When only the finest craftsmanship will do inside your home, Shields Painting is here for you.
Our seasoned team of painting experts and craftsmen is dedicated to respecting your space and providing you with the look and feel you're craving inside your home. Whether you bought a new house and want to make it your own or need minor touch-ups but have no time, Shields Painting is ready to tackle the job, no matter how small or large.
Unlike some painting companies, our interior house painters take the time to get the details right, every time. For instance, color is only one aspect of your interior paint job. The paint sheen or finish is just as important. Certain finishes are better for living rooms and bedrooms than in kitchens and bathrooms. We'll help you find the right finish and paint colors for your home, so you don't have to worry about touch-ups or repainting.
Some of our most popular interior house painting services include:
- Ceiling Painting
- Popcorn Ceiling Removal
- Living Room Painting
- Bathroom Painting
- Basement Painting
- Color Consultations
- More
Cabinet Painting
Citrus County cabinet painting deserves its own section on this page because it requires more time, skill, and quality paint than most sections of your home. If your home's cabinets are built into its woodwork, replacing them can be obnoxiously expensive. Compared to the cost of installing new cabinets, painting your kitchen cabinets is much more affordable.
At Shields Painting, we specialize in transforming old cabinets into new, gorgeous features that are just as usable as they are beautiful. Each step of our cabinet painting process is meticulous and thorough. And we'll take care of the entire job, from cleaning, prep, and sanding to priming, painting, and reassembly. This unique service lets you enjoy a brand-new look in your kitchen without having to go into debt by replacing your cabinets.
Whether your cabinets are new, but you want to change their color or you'd like to transition wood cabinets to a painted finish, Shields Painting has the expertise and experience to give you a new look you'll love.
Exterior Residential Painting
Your home - it's a place that not only keeps your belongings safe. It protects your family and loved ones, too. It's one of your largest investments, and like anything else of value, it should be protected. However, Florida weather can take a toll on your home's structure and paint, lowering your home's value and even putting your family at risk.
While it's true that a beautiful exterior affects your house's value, it shouldn't take thousands of remodeling dollars to make a positive change to your home. There's a fine line between reasonable pricing and top-quality painting, and that sweet spot is what Shields Painting aims for. If you want to transform how your friends and neighbors see your home, never underestimate the power of a professional paint job.
Our exterior residential painting services are designed to boost curb appeal, give your home a fresh look, and help it stand up to Florida's unique weather. But we provide more than that. When you hire Shields Painting for your outdoor painting project, you will enjoy peace of mind in knowing that your home is in truly capable hands. Our goal is to exceed your expectations and help bring out the best in your property, whether you need to re-stain your deck or remove old, peeling paint from your siding.

The Premier Commercial Painting Company in Bayport, FL
When it comes to first impressions, your businesses' appearance plays an important role. Your commercial property's paint job factors into its overall aesthetics. A great-looking, well-maintained paint job can mean the difference between a customer walking in your storefront and passing by. Conversely, an old, worn-out commercial paint job can send the wrong message to prospective customers. If you can't take the time to keep up your property's appearance, why would a customer spend their hard-earned money on your products?
The same goes for your businesses' interior paint. Would you want to do business with a company that has peeling paint or unsightly crown molding? At Shield's Painting, our goal is to create a beautiful environment that your customers and employees will love inside and out.

Shelter plans
Hernando County Emergency Management is opening a shelter beginning at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 8.
Residents living west of U.S. 19, in coastal and low-lying areas, as well as manufactured homes county-wide, are strongly encouraged to make arrangements for life safety. Residents are advised to seek shelter with family or friends who reside in a safe structure.
The Challenger K-8 shelter is for special needs clients, the general population and is pet friendly.
If you need the Special Needs Shelter and have a pet, transportation from either your house or shelter location for your pet is done through Animal Control with the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office. Call the Hernando County Public Information Center at 352-754-4083 to arrange a pickup.
The PIC is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, 7 a.m. on Tuesday and then open 24/7 until further notice.
Pet-friendly shelter tips
• Citizens and their animals are housed in separate sections of the designated shelter(s). If you need to seek shelter with your pet during a declared emergency the following list will help you be prepared:
• Bring your own appropriately sized crate (County resources are limited)
• Bring all your dog’s required medications
• Bring several days’ worth of your animals’ food
• Ensure your dog is current on all vaccinations
• Bring your own leash and collar. Ensure your dog is trained to walk on a leash
• Bring any toys and/or bedding that will make your animal comfortable
• If your animal is fearful or shy, bring sheets to cover the crate while still allowing airflow
• If you bring a crate place something unique on it to distinguish it from others
• Understand that your animal will not be housed in the same section as you; however, you will have access to your animal and are still responsible for their care
• Do not buy different snacks or food for the animal that they are not accustomed to, this will often cause the animals to have digestive issues; particularly when they are already stressed
• If your animal has any propensity to bite animals or humans, please obtain and utilize a muzzle
• Bring spray cleaner, paper towels etc., to be able to clean your animal’s crate
Storm status
The county could start feeling the wind effects of Hurricane Milton as early as Tuesday night and likely Wednesday morning. It could drop five to eight inches of rain, depending on where the center makes landfall. The landfall sites range from Sarasota to the Big Bend area.

On September 16, the Hernando County Fine Arts Council (HCFAC) announced the launch of its 2024 Community Arts Grants (CAG) Program. According to a press release from the HCFAC’s Jessica Knutila, the organization invites any and all Hernando County art, education, or cultural coalitions that are recognized as non-profits or charitable groups to apply for the initiative.
“This grant program aims to empower nonprofits to involve county residents in creating, appreciating, supporting, participating in, or learning about the creative arts in Hernando County by providing them with financial support to fuel their artistic endeavors,” the release continued.
The grants provided by the HCFAC look to give these organizations a “transformative” opportunity to carry out artistic endeavors and initiatives that are in the interest of their local communities. The nonprofits that are looking to enact projects such as sculptures, murals, performances, art-focused events, or art instruction should consider applying.
“The Hernando County Fine Arts Council recognizes the invaluable role that nonprofits play in fostering artistic expression and cultural growth,” said Allisa Babor, Chair of the Hernando Arts Council. “We hope to support nonprofits in bringing their artistic visions to life and create meaningful experiences for the Hernando County community with this program.”

On the back end of the intense summer heat, the council brought back one such of their other initiatives – the Hernando Beach Front Porch Art Walk. This is a monthly gathering, which takes place on the first Saturday of every month, that sees local artists showing off their work and plying their trade to interested passersby. Unfortunately, due to Hurricane Helene, the art walk has been postponed indefinitely.
The council’s mission is to encourage and aid in the development of the creative arts across the county and subsequently provide a means of showcasing these endeavors. They accomplish this through engagement, education, advocacy, and artistic programs such as CAG. The group is “dedicated to providing accessible opportunities that invite art into the lives of Hernando County residents and visitors,” Knutila’s notice stated.
While the application process for the CAG program is now open, the deadline is fast approaching. Submissions are due by October 6, 2024, a 9:00 p.m. The HCFAC encourages interested nonprofits to visit their website at www.hernandoarts.org/cag to access the online application form. To stay up to date on all the latest information regarding events and opportunities, citizens can visit their social media accounts (@hernandoarts) or sign up for their newsletter at www.hernandoarts.org/newsletter.
Dock worker strike to have minimal impacts in Central Florida – for now

The decision to strike at midnight at many of the Eastern United States’ biggest ports will not be felt by consumers unless the strike drags on for weeks or months, economists predict.
? WATCH CHANNEL 9 EYEWITNESS NEWS
The strike – the first of its kind since the 1970′s – was anticipated by retail giants and industry analysts well in advance, allowing the supply chain to brace itself in addition to practices implemented after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Port Canaveral is not included in the strike because it’s non-union, but Miami, Jacksonville and Tampa are. Tampa is Central Florida’s biggest concern because fuel flows from the port to a pipeline in Orange County.
However, Kinder Morgan executives said their operations aren’t being impacted.

“We do not expect any impacts,” a spokeswoman wrote in response to questioning Tuesday.
Retail chains said they already have some consumer goods in their warehouses in anticipation of the upcoming holiday season.
UCF economist Sean Snaith said perishable items – particularly bananas, which are shipped instead of flown – could be the first item to become scarce, but it would take weeks before consumers would notice.

“The longer the strike lasts, and the more of an impact that we’re going to see over time,” Snaith said, before referencing the shortages seen in the wake of the pandemic. “I don’t think that this is going to be as severe as that, because there were other factors.”
Snaith said the upcoming election in November could play into consumers’ favor, since a crashing economy would be something politicians want to avoid.
“Ending the strike would benefit politicians, so we just get a pleasant side effect from the politicians doing what’s best for them,” he said.

President Biden said he does not plan to invoke his power to order an 80-day “cooling off” period for the strike, framing the argument as a collective bargaining issue.
The sticking points, according to reports from picketing members, is the threat of automation to many of their jobs and demands for higher pay.
Some politicians have taken to social media to point out longshoremen make well above the industry average and say they’re holding the economy “hostage” and unable to modernize if demands to avoid automation are met.
