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.

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

Your Go-To House Painting Company in Brookridge, FL
Your home is a haven of relaxation and solitude. It is uniquely you - a place where you can express who you are through style and design. Whether you need interior touch-ups for your crown molding or a new exterior coat of paint, hiring a reliable painting contractor is the best way to get quality results.
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. We offer accuracy, precision, and longevity with each paint job we perform. Our customers choose Shields Painting for their home because they receive:
- Free Quotes with Detailed Project Breakdowns
- Affordable Pricing

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 Brookridge, FL, look no further than Shields Painting.

- Vinyl Siding Painting

The Premier Commercial Painting Company in Brookridge, 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

02
Retail Store Painting

As the water level continued to rise Sunday afternoon, Shirley Chai's nervousness turned to fear.
At first, Chai figured she would wait out the storm in the manufactured home she shares with a friend in Brookridge, a retirement community off State Road 50 west of Brooksville.
Then the lake that had formed over a portion of Brookridge Boulevard started lapping at her home's foundation. Soon water started pushing up through the air vents in the floor.
"I had to go," Chai said.
She called a neighbor for help, and three strangers came to the door. The man put Chai on her back, and a woman grabbed Shadow, Chai's miniature schnauzer, and carried them to safety.
She never got the people's names.
"I cried for half an hour," she said Monday afternoon as she waited at a neighbor's house for the water to recede enough to assess the damage at her own place.
Chai was one of dozens of Hernando County residents who had to be toted, trucked and even airboated away from homes flooded or threatened by rising water after Tropical Storm Debby hammered the county Sunday and Monday. With parts of the county receiving at least 10 inches of rain, the storm left high water that closed major roadways, flooded homes, washed out roads and opened up sinkholes.
The Brookridge area was particularly hard hit, recording the highest rainfall total in the Tampa Bay area — about 14 1/2 inches — according to measurements provided by Bay News 9. There was flooding in several locations throughout the Brookridge community, and residents had to be evacuated Sunday evening from about a half dozen homes near the intersection of Brookridge Boulevard and Fitzpatrick Avenue.
Several submerged vehicles sat abandoned, one of them nearly underwater.
"I've never, ever seen it like this," said Paul Petrowsky, a landscape company owner who has worked in the neighborhood for 32 years.
Elsewhere in Hernando, about a dozen homes were flooded in the Imperial Estates mobile home park off Powell Road, south of Brooksville.
"This is the first time I've ever gone down my lane in a rowboat," Imperial Estates resident Robert Bryda, 84, said.
Bryda woke up at 5 a.m. Monday with water surrounding his mobile home, just 6 inches shy of the door. His phone line was down, and Bryda, who lives alone, does not own a cell phone. After a neighbor helped him to dry land, Bryda said he was leaving Imperial Estates to stay with his daughter in Pasco County.
Nearby, off U.S. 41 north of Powell Road, brothers 16-year-old Josh Navarro and 20-year-old Luis Santana saw Troy Fielder, 84, struggling to get from his flooded house and yard to his car. The young men stopped and were able to reach Fielder, who had cut his foot, and rescue him.
On the north side of Brooksville, significant flooding was reported in the Clover Leaf Farms retirement community, the adjacent Clover Leaf Forest and nearby Lakeside Mobile Manor. Several residents lost power Sunday night, and service had yet to be restored by late Monday morning.
Water flooded some homes, threatened many more and covered numerous streets. All morning, residents on golf carts drove around, surveying the water and wind damage, remarking about how it was the worst flooding they had seen.
"We've never seen it quite this bad," said Tom Kriner, who has lived in the area for more than 12 years.
Beverly Morgan, 55, was forced to evacuate about 6:30 p.m. Sunday as water began creeping up the side of her mobile home, flooding her car, lifting up her propane tank and scattering her lawn ornaments.
The water was thigh-high by the time she left her house with her dog, Luci, and a change of clothes.
"I was worried all night last night because I didn't know what I was going to wake to," she said.
By Monday morning, she had learned that the water had gotten within 3 inches of entering her home, but it didn't flood her out. Her Lincoln Continental, while flooded, still started.
A few miles away, neighbors and deputies used john boats and an airboat Monday morning to retrieve fellow residents stuck in several homes beyond a flooded portion of Quarterhorse Lane, a dead-end road near Brooksville Regional Hospital lined with split-rail fences and horse pastures.
Quarterhorse resident Linda Tucker paced nervously as she waited for her elderly sister, a family friend and an in-home nurse to be brought to safety.
"I have more respect for people who have catastrophes than I did before," Tucker said.
Animals needed rescuing, too. Quarterhorse property owner Samantha Vitalone used an inflatable raft to lead her geldings, Usa and Max, as they swam to safety. The water eventually rose to the top of the pasture fence.
"They would have drowned by now," Vitalone said.
Later, the airboat delivered her and her family and their suitcases to dry land.
In Spring Hill, Mariner Boulevard near Claymore Street was closed Monday morning because several large sinkholes opened up in the area.
Sue Tomason, who lives on Captain Drive, off Mariner, said she woke up Monday to find several inches of water in her garage. Her neighbors also reported minor flooding.
"We've had some flooding before from thunderstorms, but I've never seen anything like this," Tomason said. "It's like a river overflowed."
A few blocks away, 15-year-old Anthony Steele and his friend, Jason Pikes, 14, rode their bikes around a 10-foot-wide sinkhole that had opened up on Claymore, near Lake Forest Drive. Celinda Jones, who has lived in the neighborhood for more than 20 years, said she had seen several sinkholes in neighbors' yards.
"I'm worried," she said. "What do you do if one opens up next to your house? Pray, I guess."
Sinkholes were also reported at the Hernando County Airport on Taxiway A, the taxi strip that parallels the main runway, but the airport remained open.
Spring Hill Drive was closed from California Street to U.S. 41, and cars could be seen submerged in the flooded area.
In the same vicinity, "It's made our jail an Alcatraz,'' said Lt. Michael Burzumato, spokesman for the Hernando Sheriff's Office. "The jail is staying above water, but Spring Hill Drive is not.''
Northcliffe Boulevard near Central Park Drive in Spring Hill also was covered with water, and flooding in low-lying areas of Masaryktown caused deputies to mobilize to help with evacuations in the areas of Roosevelt Avenue, Hodza Street and Wilson Boulevard.
Joe Dwyer, 58, just moved into his Masaryktown home a month ago and made his first mortgage payment. He shared his modest white-paneled home with a friend and a small Maltipoo dog, Cookie, until Monday morning, when they were evacuated.
Dwyer's house, the first home he's ever owned, was filled with a foot of water and may have to be condemned because of water damage and related health risks.
"I've spent the whole morning crying," Dwyer said. "At first I didn't think we were going to have a lot of rain, but then between 2 and 4 p.m. on Sunday, it just tore it up."
Officials at the Sand Hill Scout Reservation, near Weeki Wachee, evacuated about 350 Scouts late Sunday to Challenger K-8 School of Science and Mathematics in Spring Hill. While there were no dangerous conditions at the camp, the evacuation was ordered due to the threat of tornadoes.
The Florida Highway Patrol urged caution on several roads that were flooded, including Fort Dade Avenue at Citrus Way, U.S. 98 at the Suncoast Parkway and U.S. 98 at Cobb Road.
Numerous roads were reported to be washed out or impassable, including Sweet Gum Road, Ash Street and Harris Hawk Road.
County officials also noted several roads underwater and closed, including Old Crystal River Road, portions of Powell Road, Croom Road, Clinton Drive and Rosewood Drive.
Trees and power lines were reported down at Campground Road and McCloy Circle, north of Brooksville. And across the county, power company officials were still dealing with several outages Monday.
Peck Sink, south of Brooksville, where the county has spent $1.3 million to build a series of stormwater filtering structures, was submerged. Emergency Management asked for an updated damage estimate for purposes of reporting to the state.
Crews were mobilizing to assess damage throughout the county.
Late Monday, the American Red Cross opened an emergency shelter at the Ridge Manor Community Center on Cortez Boulevard. County officials were monitoring the nearby Withlacoochee River in anticipation of flooding in the coming days.

During Irma, most in Hernando came through relatively unscathed

After Hurricane Irma's visit to Florida, the Tampa Bay Times checked in with people and agencies across Hernando County to see how they endured. While the area saw many downed trees and some flooding, most residents and officials reported no major damage. Megan Reeves, Times staff writer
Weeki Wachee State Park
Other than several downed trees and a lot of scattered plant debris, Weeki Wachee Springs State Park sustained no damage, said spokesman John Athanason.
The park closed Friday, Sept. 8, ahead of the storm and reopened Saturday, after the grounds were back to normal.
"It took a good week of our staff and volunteers working to clean it up, but we are up and running again," Athanason said.
Mobile homes
Overall, mobile homes in Hernando County fared well through the storm. The outlier was Clover Leaf Forest RV Park off Broad Street in Brooksville. Much of the community saw major flooding, with some residents' homes taking on several inches of water. Other homes were damaged by fallen trees and debris.
Larger mobile home communities in the county — including High Point and Brookridge, both off State Road 50 — only saw minimal damage, like displaced lawn ornaments, bent awnings and shifted carports.
Boyett's Grove and Citrus Attraction
Irma damaged citrus crops across the state, but Hernando's quintessential Florida orange crop was largely spared. Kathy Oleson, owner of Boyett's Grove in Spring Lake, said that while the property lost power and water, there was no major damage to structures or plants.
"We planned for a whole week in advance because we know that we have so much vulnerability," Oleson said.
No animals at the attraction were injured either. Oleson said smaller animals, like birds, ferrets and bunnies, rode out the storm inside the gift shop. Windbreaks were made out of large, circular hay bales for larger animals that had to stay outside.
The grove will reopen once fallen trees are removed and debris cleanup is complete.
Hernando Beach
Residents in Hernando Beach woke up grateful on Sept. 11 after Hurricane Irma passed over the Tampa Bay region. Besides a few sunken boats, the community saw little damage compared to past storms, said waterfront resident and county port authority vice chairman Frank Santo.
Santo said even the lowest areas of Hernando Beach, like Eagles Nest, experienced almost no flooding, likely because the storm surge and high tide did not come at the same time.
Chinsegut Hill
Chinsegut Hill's 1850s-era manor house and seven lodging cottages — the latter rented to evacuees during Hurricane Irma — braved the storm unharmed, said Brooksville Mayor Natalie Kahler, who also serves as manager for the historic property.
But the winding, wooded driveway to the house was a different story. Irma left it so littered with fallen trees and debris that it was blocked to traffic for days.
"We think a little tornado came through there," she said, adding that many trees had been snapped in half.
Kahler said the house reopened to the public this week, once power and water had been restored. Volunteers will continue cleanup while county workers remove larger downed trees.
Kahler said while the storm didn't do any severe damage to the house on the hill, more than five canceled events before and after the storm will cost the nonprofit organization that operates the property money that will be difficult to recoup.
Health services
Nina Mattei, emergency planner for the Hernando County Health Department, said no major health-related issues arose during Hurricane Irma. Only one health care facility, Atria Evergreen Woods assisted living facility in Spring Hill, evacuated residents in what was called "an abundance of caution."
Many other facilities in the county, Mattei said, opened as shelters to a few hundred special-needs evacuees from partner facilities in South Florida. Mattei said that before, during and after the storm, Health Department representatives kept in touch with medical agencies countywide to "support their efforts to prepare, respond and recover from the storm."
