The Shields Painting Difference: Perfection with Every Brush Stroke

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.

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

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.

When it comes to first impressions, your businesses' appearance plays an important role. Your commercial property's paint job factors into its overall aesthetics.

MARION COUNTY, Fla. —
People in Marion County are preparing for Idalia before the storm’s expected arrival.
The county is now under a local state of emergency.
Frank Canova is a parks crew leader for the city of Ocala and says when he and his crew members got to the sandbag location at the Ed Croskey Recreation Facility on Monday morning, people were lined up an hour early waiting to get sandbags.
"It's been pretty much like this all day nonstop," he said.
As of Monday, Marion County is under a tornado threat and a hurricane watch. The Sheriff’s Office Division of Emergency Management is recommending evacuation for people who live west of Interstate 75 and live in mobile homes, RVs and substandard housing.
Canova recommends people in Ocala take advantage of the sandbag locations.
"If you’re a resident of Ocala and you know you are in a low-lying area and you also own a block home, then you probably get sandbags," he said.

Jaden and Anthony Roberts say the sandbags help their family during and after the storm.
"So the water doesn’t get inside the house. Sometimes on the property when the flooding is over we can throw it in those spots," Anthony said.
Marion County closed down schools on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Sandbag locations will open up again on Tuesday at 7:00 a.m., and they will stay open while the weather permits.
Sandbag locations are:
- Belleview Sports Complex, 6501 SE 107th Street, Belleview FL

Three local Scouts were recognized during an Eagle Scout Court of Honor on Sunday, June 25, Dunnellon Methodist Church. The trio, Max Chastek, Luke Chastek and Matthew Rapp, join only four percent of the nation’s Scouts to achieve the Scout’s highest rank, Eagle Scout.
After the presenting of the colors, the ceremony was called to order and Pastor Eddie Fulford of Dunnellon Methodist Church offered the invocation.
Family, friends and local community leaders joined the Scouts during the ceremony and luncheon afterward. Each Eagle Scout was presented with certificates and commendations from many of the community leaders, including an Eagle Scout neckerchief, presented by Alan May and John Renyhart of the Ocala Lions Club. May and Michael Miller, representing the Ocala Elks Lodge, presented each with a flag. Bob Schlegel, chairman of the local Scout council, presented each with a Challenge Coin on behalf of the Masonic Scouters and a patch on behalf of the Military Order of the World Wars.
In addition to achieving Eagle Scout, each young man also excelled in their school studies. Rapp earned his Associate of Arts degree at College of Central Florida and also was valedictorian of Dunnellon High School’s Class of 2023. He is bound for Vanderbilt University in August and will study mathematics.
Max was a graduate of Lecanto High School’s Class of 2022, graduating near the very top of his class, and a member of Lecanto’s International Baccalaureate (IB) program. He’s currently a college sophomore, studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Florida.
Luke recently graduated from Lecanto’s IB program as well, also near the top of his class. He’s joining his brother to also study mechanical engineering in the fall at the UF.
All three spent more than 10 years working towards the goal of becoming Eagle Scouts. A culminating project is one of several requirements to earn the rank as well as earning at least 21 badges and serving in leadership roles in their group. The projects generally require a scout to lead a group to perform a laborious task.
In Max’s and Luke’s case, their projects focused on improving the grounds at the Citrus Springs Library. Max led a group who cleaned up the grounds. The library itself only takes up a small portion, about 15 percent, of the property it’s located on, which is approximately six acres in size. The Citrus Springs Library is run by community volunteers, and the upkeep of the property hadn’t been prioritized for some time, so it was a big undertaking for Max and his crew of volunteers to clean up the wooded area and trim the growth. The project took 180 man hours to complete.
Luke’s project focused on the Citrus Springs Library Parking lot and flagpole area. Taking more than 200 man hours to complete, he led a group of volunteers who cemented the walkway, which in turn provided handicapped access to the flagpole.
Rapp’s project was also about accessibility. Rapp saw a need at Dunnellon Methodist Church for some of the grassy areas between the buildings to be paved, allowing easier access between the front and rear of the church for those in wheelchairs and members of the choir, who often wear dressy shoes that make traveling through grass difficult. Rapp’s project took 128 man hours to complete.
Continuing to pursue an Eagle Scout rank while attacking the demands of high school is no easy task, and Rapp said that when he reached high school, he had to make a decision to cut something out of his schedule to continue to fit scouting into his schedule. Of the 33 badges Rapp earned, he said his favorites were the chess and photography badges.
Max earned his favorite badge, shotgun shooting, during a camping trip to Camp La-No-Che in Paisley, Florida.
Luke said his favorite badge was the wilderness survival badge, which he earned on a camping trip to Hidden Pond in the Ocala National Forest. The trip was also the subject of conversation of Scoutmaster Sam Rankin, who described the challenging hike it took to get there and the beauty of the pond once they discovered it.
Troop Coordinator Ingrid Ellis also spoke of the three young men’s commitment and leadership.
In closing, Rankin urged the trio to “help to build America’s future by continuing to set an example of clean living, honest work, unselfish citizenship and reverence for God, whatever others may do.” Then, all of the Eagle Scouts in attendance stood and recited their oath.
Troop 574 meets at the Dunnellon Methodist Church. Their next meeting is at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 23. For more information about joining the Scouts, please contact Katey Fontaine fuzzyfontaine@yahoo.com 352-615-6856 or Sam Rankin strankin6267@gmail.com 352-256-5794.
Florida woman strikes intruder with hammer while husband holds him at gunpoint: affidavit
Dani Medinahttps://www.fox35orlando.com/news/florida-woman-strikes-intruder-with-hammer-while-husband-holds-him-at-gunpoint-affidavit
DUNNELLON, Fla. - UPDATE: ...
DUNNELLON, Fla. - UPDATE: The woman spoke exclusively with the FOX 35 News Team about the incident.
A Florida woman repeatedly struck an alleged intruder with a hammer while her husband held him at gunpoint, according to an affidavit from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
Robin Rivera, who was "highly intoxicated" at the time, was reportedly trying to get into his mother-in-law’s house, who didn’t live there, officials said. The 41-year-old Ocala man was arrested and booked on charges including burglary with assault or battery.
The alleged incident happened shortly after 11:30 p.m. on Sunday at a residence in Dunnellon. A couple inside the home was asleep when the wife said she heard a "banging" noise that kept getting louder and louder. That loud noise was reportedly coming from Rivera, who was knocking so hard on the door, he knocked it off its hinges, the affidavit states. That’s when Rivera allegedly made his way inside the home.

According to the affidavit, the husband grabbed his shotgun, loaded it, and told Rivera to get out, or he would shoot him. "Go ahead and shoot me," Rivera reportedly told the husband. The two then got into a "tussle" over the gun, which caused the alleged intruder to fall down after unsuccessfully trying to grab it.
The wife then reportedly grabbed a hammer and struck Rivera in the head, deputies said. Rivera went down, but then got up and allegedly charged the couple again. The affidavit states that the wife hit him a few more times with the hammer just as deputies arrived at the scene.
Upon arrival, deputies noticed the couple’s front door was "completely removed from the wall" and there were multiple small puddles of blood, which officials believe came from Rivera.
RELATED STORIES:
After Rivera was taken into custody and read his Miranda Rights, he agreed to speak to deputies. He said he was trying to get back into his mother-in-law’s house but the responding deputy explained that he wasn’t at his mother-in-law’s house.
"I’m not?" a seemingly confused Rivera replied, according to the arrest report. The deputy stated that at that point, Rivera appeared to realize he had done something wrong and started crying. Rivera also denied knocking the front door down and entering the couple’s home.
Rivera is being held at the Marion County Jail on a $25,000 bond.
