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. This is often due to a lack of experience, qualified painters, and a drive to overachieve. At Shields Painting, we do things a little differently than other painting companies in Citrus County. 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.

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. As tempting as it might be to try a DIY paint job, without the proper skills and experience, there is a good chance that the results will turn out less than satisfactory.
High-quality painting requires skill, experience, and patience. If you're a homeowner who needs residential painting services but doesn't have the time, patience, or skills to handle the job, look no further than Shields Painting.

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.
If you're on the hunt for the very best exterior painting contractor in Belleview, FL, look no further than Shields Painting.
Some of our most popular exterior house painting services include:
- Vinyl Siding Painting
- Deck Painting and Staining

- Thorough Painting Prep

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? At Shield's Painting, our goal is to create a beautiful environment that your customers and employees will love inside and out. When you work with our business painters, you can rest easy knowing we treat your business like it were our own. We always clean up after ourselves and know that operations cannot come to a halt just because we're painting. As such, we'll work with your busy schedule to ensure the job gets done right the first time without disrupting your day-to-day commitments.
With decades of commercial painting experience, we know the demands of a commercial painting project necessitate a disciplined and focused approach from the start. Our team of business painters is committed to delivering quality, on-time results on every project, every time - no excuses

We offer professional business painting services to a variety of building types, including:

01
Industrial Painting
A high level of care and finesse are required to effectively paint an industrial property. At Shields Painting, we know that industrial paint jobs involve much more than aesthetics.

02
Retail Store Painting
Our commercial painters apply effective, yet appealing interior and exterior paint that stand up to the daily rigors of busy retail environments.


03
Small Business Painting
Do you own a restaurant franchise? Have a small "mom and pop" location that needs a fresh coat of paint? Shields Painting has the resources and reliability to efficiently get the job done the first time. That way, you can focus on serving your customers, not having your business repainted.
04

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - It’s been a while since we’ve had rain in North Central Florida.
But even on the driest of days in The Swamp, it wasn’t that long ago that former Gators’ running back Chris Rainey was making people miss left and right. He even took his speed to the National and Canadian Football League and now he’s bringing the need for speed to North Central Florida.
Just this month, he opened his speed camp in Belleview, and if you’ve seen Chris in the open field, you’d consider the camp to be aptly named.
Rainey says the idea and the name came easy to him because “since everybody knows I’m fast I can start my own training, so that’s why I called it the Chris Rainey Speed Factory.”
Chris and his family recently returned to North Central Florida, and after visiting the region he “just knew it was the perfect spot for the training center too because I was thinking about the future, not the present.”
Chris says speed is essential in every sport, and that his training involves “trying to stop them from thinking a lot. Just go through it. If you mess up, make sure you mess up 100 percent.”
On top of becoming as fast and agile as possible, he wants to emphasize to the athletes he trains that “it starts with school. You have to go to school, get good grades and all that kind of stuff. I know it’s boring but you have to do it. Force yourself.”
The camp runs three days a week at the Belleview Sportsplex. And he hopes to secure his own indoor facility nearby soon.
For more information on how to participate in the camp, you can visit the following:

BELLEVIEW, FLA – Teen TV shows give us a perception of the desired life for a high school kid.
On paper, Seth Griffin appears to live that lifestyle. The Belleview High senior's resume is distinguished.
“Obviously, as a kid, you’re always thinking, man how can I be the main character of the movie," Seth says? "That’s kind of how I feel sometimes.”
While maintaining a weighted 4.91 GPA, Seth is captain of the soccer team. His extracurriculars include FFA, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, ACE, and Key Club.
No stranger to the spotlight, he MC's the school's pep rallies and was named 2021 Homecoming King. A busy schedule for the stereotypical popular kid. Seth does not let it weigh him down.
“I always try and mix it up," he says while doing marine biology homework on the weekend. "I hate it being a repetitive day in, day out. So I’ll do something funny or goofy or something fun I can do that day.”
It's no secret Seth loves high school. He's embraced being a Rattler in every way from courses, athletics and supporting other Belleview teams and programs. Popularity does not define Seth Griffin.
“Couldn’t feel my knee. Couldn’t feel my leg," Seth says pointing to his left knee. "Didn’t know what was going on.”
Early in his junior season, Seth tore his ACL.
"My heart dropped to my toes," Seth said. We were all sobbing. It was like man I'm going to be taken away from the sport that had given me so much."
For the next nine months, Seth discovered his true self both physically and mentally.
“I think the biggest thing that I’ve seen is his perseverance," said Seth's father, Scott Griffin, "and his will to get better and make this not be a setback but something he can overcome.”
“For that time I did some poetry," Seth said. "I kind of wrote out my anger so kind of now I look back at it and it was a good experience because I was able to learn so much.”
One year later, Seth is back. He's focused, full of life and leaves others with a message.
“As long as you push hard enough, work hard enough and want it bad enough you’ll always end up getting it.”
Seth is still undecided on college. He is interested in both marine biology and sports management.
The Coupon Kid: Belleview business owner puts people before profits
Paul Giorgiohttps://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/05/12/the-coupon-kid-belleview-business-owner-puts-people-before-profits/

MARION COUNTY, Fla. – James Brandl always knew he wanted to be in the grocery business. He also knew he liked helping people. As a kid he’d cut coupons and pass his savings on to others.
Today, Brandl runs a small grocery liquidation store in Belleview, near Ocala, called The Coupon Kid, where he’s earned a reputation for selling discount items and helping those who need it.
[TRENDING: LISTEN: Audio shows how Florida air traffic controller helped passenger land plane safely | WATCH: Good Samaritans take action to help Florida driver suffering medical episode | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)]
The Coupon Kid Sales and Liquidation isn’t the type of store where you bring a shopping list.
“I never know what we’re getting,” said Brandl, as he walked the isles, pointing out some of the unique items. “The staff asks me, ‘What’s coming?’ I have no idea. When we open those truck doors it could be potato chips or it could be cookies. It could be anything in the world. Hopefully it’s not too heavy.”
The shelves are stocked with everything from common dish soap to specialty foods such as Fire Cracker Red Hot Pickled Sausage. Everything is sold at a discount.
Katha Phillips Hagood shops there when she can. She’s on a budget and said she appreciates the prices.
“I live 20 miles out and with gas being what it is I haven’t been here in a while,” she said. “Every time you check out you’re like wow that’s all.”
Brandl walks by boxes of unopened products stacked above his head.
“We’re actually growing out of this building,” he said. Eventually we’re going to have to get a bigger building.”
The business is a contrast from where he started, cutting coupons in his living room as a kid. In a way, it’s also an extension of his charitable beginnings.
He was introduced to couponing at age 15 by a friend’s mom.
“I was like, ‘Let’s see if I can do it,’” Brandl remembered. “I came home with 200 boxes of noodles and 96 things of cinnamon rolls. We paid 14 bucks for everything and I went to the neighbors and said, ‘You’re not going to believe what I just did.’”
He gave most of it away, and at that point, he was hooked.
Brandl said his neighbors and others in need would often benefit from his deals. He would donate school supplies and toiletries to the nearby elementary school.
“It’s not a big deal. I said, ‘You’re not going to believe how I’m getting this stuff,’” Brandl recalled. “You can really save money doing this.”
He became known as “The Coupon Kid.”
Always on the lookout for a deal, Brandl then began buying overstock and close out items from large retailers.
He opened his first store in 2017.
“I don’t know what it is about the grocery business. It’s weird. You can see I love to eat. That’s one thing,” Brandl said with a laugh. “It’s just crazy. I fell in love with the grocery business as a kid.”
Today, Brandl continues to give back to his community. He’s developed a reputation for helping people in need. The store’s Facebook page is full of examples of people thanking him for his generosity.
“I’ve never really been a person to sit back and say someone else will take care of it,” Brandl said. “I’m the person to stand the line and say, ‘Hey, we got to do something.’”
Brandl was nominated for the News 6 Getting Results Award by customer Patti Wilkinson.
“I have witnessed James listening to a mom as she was cashing out say that she was limited on funds and barely had the necessities,” Wilkinson wrote in an email. “James quickly reacted and their needs were taken care of. He never let her feel ashamed in any way. He simply told her that it was what he wanted to do(:) help.”
Brandl has helped families after car crashes, when they’ve lost a loved one or just had trouble making ends meet. He has helped the local little league and has a giveaway at Christmastime.
Ann Baylis shops at The Coupon Kid about twice a week. She remembered a family who had an apartment fire. Brandl helped them too, giving them free groceries.
“I’m getting goose bumps,” Baylis said, recalling the story. “That means a lot. He’ll do whatever he can.”
Brandl said he loves what he does and hopes to open more stores in other locations. But it’s not about making more profits, he said; it has more to do with helping more people.
“The Coupon Kid is not just a way of making money,” Brandl said. “To me, it’s never been that way. It’s always been to help people out.”
Wilkinson hopes “The Coupon Kid” and his team get the recognition they deserve.
“Please show James, his mom and his hard working staff that they are seen, heard and recognized for all they have done and will continue to do in this community,” Wilkinson wrote.

BELLEVIEW, Fla. (WCJB) - It’s the first of it’s kind for one north central Florida city.
Thursday morning AdventHealth Ocala unveiled it’s newest emergency care facility in Belleview.
This is AdventHealth’s second off site emergency room in Marion County. The hospital network also operates AdventHealth TimberRidge ER in Ocala.
The full service ER has 12 beds and gives both adult and pediatric patients access to x-ray, ultrasound, CT scans, onsite laboratory services and more.
“We are going to provide the exact same level of care at this facility as we do in our main emergency department and that’s the point of it to be able to provide the highest level of care to the City of Belleview,” Director of Emergency Services, and Chief of Emergency Medicine, at AdventHealth Ocala, Ken Barrick said.
It’s the first of it’s kind for this community, Director of Imaging Services at AdventHealth Ocala, Matthew Grosse said.
“Belleview has never had something like this. Being someone that’s from Belleview, it’s a 100 percent game changer. I basically means that someone to get the same level of care would have to travel outside of city limits,”Grosse said.
AdventHealth officials said that facilities in the West Florida Division are currently caring for roughly 300 COVID-19 patients.
“The hope is to decompress. The hope is to enable patients to get in and not have to wait exorbitant lengths of time to be seen quickly and diagnose accurately. We have to be able to have a safe, an environment where people can come in and have the highest level of care possible,” Barrick added.
A hope for a better, healthier community. This new facility will officially open on Oct. 12.
The ER is located at 6006 SE Abshier Blvd in Belleview, Florida.
