Painting Company in Belleview, FL

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.

We believe that a professional paint job should be as close to perfect as possible. Our goal is to leave you 100% satisfied, whether we're touching up an old residential paint job or performing a complex commercial project.

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

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.

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 High School student arrested after allegedly threatening school shooting on Snapchat

On Thursday, at approximately 7 p.m., multiple concerned residents contacted the sheriff’s office after locating a video on the Snapchat app. MCSO reviewed the video, which showed a teenager, later identified as Jesse Jacob Vargas, standing in a room.

In the video, Vargas stated, “I’m not going to lie, I’m tired of being stereotyped as a school shooter. I mean, if that’s what everybody wants…” As he finished speaking, he raised his hand to show a firearm.

According to MCSO, some of the residents who had viewed the video were able to identify Vargas and informed the sheriff’s office that he is a student at Belleview High School.

Deputies responded to Vargas’ residence and made contact with Vargas and his parents. After deputies showed the Snapchat video to his parents, they advised that Vargas only had access to an Airsoft gun that looked like an assault rifle.

During an interview with deputies, Vargas claimed that he had made the video as a skit, and he told the deputies that it “wasn’t serious.” He confirmed that the firearm he was holding in the video was an Airsoft gun, and deputies collected it for evidence.

Vargas was arrested, transported to Marion County Jail, and then brought to the Department of Juvenile Justice. He is being charged with making an electronic threat to conduct a mass shooting.

“Over 30 of my citizens called in after seeing this video that caused fear for the safety of children at Belleview High,” stated Sheriff Billy Woods. “We thank you, because when you saw something, you said something, and with your help we were able to quickly locate Vargas and take him into custody.”

Sheriff Woods added, “To my young citizens, you need to know that the law is clear: If you make a social media post that people reasonably interpret as a threat to commit a mass shooting, or to kill or harm another person, you have broken the law. And if you break the law like this, you should expect to be arrested.”

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.
