The Shields Painting Difference: Perfection with Every Brush Stroke

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

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 Belleview, 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?

BELLEVIEW, Fla. — A driver inquired about whether a Marion County stop sign is up to code after he says he got a ticket for not seeing the sign.
Tommy Shapard says it’s too short.
What You Need To Know
To get home to Jacksonville from a family vacation in St. Petersburg, Shapard’s navigation app directed him to cut through the state and make his way through Belleview.
“Instead of veering to the left, I went straight and ended up on some back road,” he said.
Between looking at his phone to get back on the right road and following behind two vehicles, Shapard went through the stop sign on Southeast Magnolia Road at Southeast Agnew Road.
“I admitted to the officers that I just didn’t see it,” he said. “It looks very short there.”
Shapard got back on track and made it home, but the stop sign’s small stature bothered him.
“Let me message Jerry and see if he knows anything about this,” Shapard said.
So I took my tape measure out to the Southeast Magnolia Road and Southeast Agnew Road intersection.
The Federal Highway Administration’s Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices states the minimum height of a stop sign, measured from the top of the curb or ground to the bottom of the sign, shall be 7 feet.
Based on my measurement, the stop sign in question was about 5 inches short.
I measured the other stop signs at this intersection, and all but one was below 7 feet.
“I would like to see if the stop sign is up to code,” Shapard said.
I asked Bob Titterington, the public works director for Belleview, about the stop sign’s height.
That 7-foot height rule is for urban areas where parking or pedestrian movements are likely to occur, or where the view of the sign might be obstructed.
“I reviewed the intersection referenced and determined that the roadway does not have any sidewalks for pedestrians or parked cars that may prevent visibility of the stop sign,” Titterington said. “Therefore, in my opinion, the height of the sign measured by you is adequate and visible.”
Titterington, who started a year ago, admits if he were to install new stop signs, he’d make sure they’re at least 7 feet high.
“Being higher up (in an SUV) and being on the left, the driver’s side, I missed it,” Shapard said.
He still thinks the stop sign’s height isn’t adequate, especially for taller vehicles.
But he’ll pay the $170 ticket and take a class to avoid points on his license.
“I ran through it; I’m going to take care of that, but I’d like to prevent perhaps others from missing it, and who knows, maybe an accident,” he said.

Belleview man jailed after fleeing from Marion County deputy who attempted traffic stop

A 37-year-old Belleview man was arrested after he fled from a Marion County Sheriff’s Office deputy who had attempted to conduct a traffic stop on S U.S. Highway 441.
On Wednesday, the MCSO deputy was in the area of Sunset Harbor Road and S U.S. Highway 441 in Summerfield when a red two-door sedan was observed driving westbound on Sunset Harbor Road at approximately 100 miles per hour in a posted 45-mph zone. The driver was later identified as Jason Elliott Brown, according to the arrest report.
The deputy noted in the report that Brown’s vehicle proceeded to pass another motorist while crossing the double yellow line, and he then continued heading westbound to S U.S. Highway 441. After activating the patrol car’s emergency lights and siren, the deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop, but a pursuit was initiated when Brown refused to slow down.
The MCSO report stated that Brown’s vehicle made multiple dangerous maneuvers during the pursuit, which displayed a “blatant disregard for the safety of others in the area.” The deputy noted that Brown made a rapid U-turn, drove in circles around the deputy’s patrol car, and drove onto a field in an attempt to evade the deputy.
The pursuit came to an end when the deputy successfully performed a pursuit intervention technique (PIT) maneuver against Brown’s vehicle near the 13900 block of S Highway 301. Brown was detained in handcuffs.
After being read his Miranda rights, Brown admitted that he fled from the traffic stop because he believed that the deputy had been “sent to find him” regarding an alleged false accusation that had been made against him. When Brown saw the deputy’s patrol car, he stated that he “got spooked” and fled, according to the MCSO report.
While speaking with the deputy, Brown advised that he made a mistake and he apologized to the sheriff’s office for “putting y’all through that.”
Brown was arrested and transported to Marion County Jail where he is currently being held on $1,000 bond. He is facing a felony charge for fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer with disregard of safety to persons or property.
A court date has been scheduled at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, May 2, according to jail records.

A 26-year-old Belleview man was arrested after a woman claimed that he threw her to the floor, attacked her, and used his hands to restrict her breathing during an argument that turned physical.
On Saturday, a Marion County Sheriff’s Office deputy responded to a local residence in reference to a physical altercation. Upon arrival, the deputy made contact with the female victim who advised that the incident involved Dylan Lee Tucker, according to the arrest report.
The victim told the deputy that the incident occurred in the evening hours on February 18, and it began as a verbal argument. When the victim attempted to leave the residence during the argument, she advised that Tucker grabbed her and threw her to the floor, according to the MCSO report.
The victim further advised that Tucker struck her several times in the face and head before allegedly grabbing her by the neck. She stated that Tucker then used his hands to “block her mouth and nose,” and she was unable to breathe.
In the MCSO report, the deputy noted that the victim provided photographs and a video on her cellphone from the day after the incident, which showed bruising on the side of her neck and on her face under her right eye. According to the report, the glare from the sun made the photos difficult to see on the deputy’s body camera footage, and the deputy requested for the victim to send a copy of those photos.
While the victim initially agreed to send a copy of the photos showing the injuries she sustained during the alleged incident, the MCSO report stated that the victim later refused the deputy’s request because she did not want Tucker to be arrested and sent to jail.
On Sunday, March 26, the deputy contacted the victim and was informed that Tucker was at the residence, and she gave the deputy permission to stop by the home to speak with him. The deputy noted in the report that contact was then made with Tucker at the incident location.
In a post-Miranda interview, Tucker initially denied the victim’s allegations. He then admitted that an argument with the victim had occurred on the day of the incident and they both “shoved each other,” though he claimed it never became more physical than that, according to the MCSO report.
The deputy noted in the report that Tucker was asked about the victim’s injuries, and he claimed that he “did not know” how those injuries were sustained on the day of the incident.
Tucker was arrested and transported to Marion County Jail where he is currently being held without bond. He is facing a felony charge for committing domestic battery by strangulation.
A court date has been scheduled at 9 a.m. on Sunday, April 23, according to jail records.

Tillman arranged for the cheerleaders to work concession stands at the University of Florida in order to earn a portion of the revenue, according to officials, who said he routed the money to his own bank account instead of the team’s.
Marion County Public Schools said Tillman was a volunteer coach who was in the process of becoming a paid coach at Belleview High.
School district officials said an accusation was lodged against Tillman and he was prohibited from being on campus or participating in cheerleading activities.
