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.

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.

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 Hernando, FL, look no further than Shields Painting.

The Premier Commercial Painting Company in Hernando, 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.

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?

A suicide threat in Hernando County was resolved recently, and Sheriff’s Office officials say it was thanks to a drone. They say that is just one example of how the drones are being used in law enforcement.
What You Need To Know
Hernando County's Unmanned Aerial Systems Unit was launched about two years ago, and so far, officials say the drones have been deployed more than 200 times.
Technology has evolved quite a bit since Cpl. Michael Woodward joined the Sheriff’s Office 10 years ago, when the department did not have a drone unit.
The 47-year-old jokes that he entered the academy later than most usually do, but that didn't affect his desire to serve.
“It’s the old cliché," he told Bay News 9's Katya Guillaume. "I wanted to help people and when I got in, I wanted to do it for a long time.”
He started off as a patrol officer and climbed his way up to corporal when he joined the Unmanned Aerial Systems Unit.
“Days are great," he said "You really get out there and really get to help the good people.”
Woodward said a lot has changed since his academy days, but one of the biggest changes he's seen was introducing the idea of using drones in the department two years ago.
“I like to keep our agency on the cutting edge and do new things," he said, adding that his current job is something he never thought he’d be doing.
“When I go to thinking about what the future would bring, I knew that this was an up and coming thing, so it was just something that I tried, and I grew interested in it from there," Woodward said.
He started the program with just five drones, but now has 11 total and a handful of deputies operating them throughout the county.
“There are restrictions like our Brooksville airport and stuff, but we have waivers that allow us to fly within that jurisdiction if need be," he said, noting that the unit is always ready to go at a moment’s notice.
“All of our vehicles, the majority of them are set up with command cabinets," he said. "We can be on scene and set up this whole command cabinet with the screens and everything within a matter of minutes.”
“As quick as we can get this deployed, could be the difference between saving somebody’s life and not,” he added.
Woodward said while that’s always been the goal, this new technology goes even further to help law enforcement officers protect themselves and others on dangerous calls.
Right now the officials with the Hernando County Sheriff's Office say the drones are deployed about 10 times a month to help out on calls.

Commencement speakers were two immigrants, the first in their families to receive degrees.
PASCO COUNTY, FL — In its first in-person commencement since the pandemic began, Pasco-Hernando State College handed out 309 degrees and certificates to 797 at two graduation ceremonies last week.
Commencement speakers were two first-generation college graduates who immigrated from other countries.
Saiyid Ibtehaj Shariq received his associate's degree in biology.
"Imagine moving to a different country, Pakistan, completely different culture, language, norms and people? Sounds quite intimidating, doesn't it?" Shariq asked, who moved to the United State three years ago. "That is exactly how it was for me."
He said Pasco-Hernando State College gave him the tools and guidance he needed to take a step toward success.
"Looking back these last three years was quite interesting for me in all sorts of ways," he said. "There were many questions in my head, and the biggest one of them was how would I pursue my goals and how would I pave my path to success in America? This is where Pasco-Hernando State College comes in."
Shariq said he's not the same person who started college three years ago.
"I would say when I started at PHSC three years ago, I was a very shy and confused kid with no communication skills and a language barrier that did not do good for me. The odds were against me," he said. "However, the students, faculty and staff accepted me and welcomed me with open arms. That was the moment I realized this is where I belong, this is family and this is where I will set my foundation for a successful life ahead."
Sara Abdelmagead received her associate of science degree in radiography.
"Originally from Egypt, my family and I moved to the USA eight years ago. I started my journey at PHSC back in 2017. I had the radiography program on my mind because I was always fascinated by the human body, and I always thought of X-rays as a work of art," she said. "I had to take extra classes to improve my English before I was able to work on my prerequisites for the program. After 2 1/2 years, I am excited to graduate from the PHSC radiography program."

Hernando County Sheriff's Office Care Line program saves elderly man from house fire

BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — A special Hernando County phone line providing support to senior citizens who live alone or are struggling with their health may have just saved a man's life.
Once a day after registering with the sheriff's office's Care Line program, seniors check in at a designated time and verify with a clerk that they're doing OK.
“That’s what the program is all about — trying to provide intervention before something tragic happens,” said sheriff's office spokesperson Denise Moloney, who adds there are about 95 people who call every day.
On Friday, an elderly man who lives alone missed his designated call time. The clerk tried to contact him and didn’t have any luck. The clerk then followed additional protocols to make sure the man was safe but still wasn’t able to get in contact with anyone.
Deputy Bob Cloversettle was then sent over to the man’s home in Ridge Manor to check on him and make sure he was alright. When Cloversettle showed up, he says he immediately noticed smoke coming from inside the home.
The elderly man inside yelled to Cloversettle for help. The man was sitting on the floor and had fallen out of his wheelchair.
“Right next to him there were boxes that were literally on fire and smoking and he was very much in a bad situation,” Cloversettle said.
Cloversettle was able to pull the man near the front door as smoke continued to spread throughout the home.
“It became very difficult to breathe within a matter of seconds,” he explained.
Another deputy quickly arrived and helped Cloversettle get the man back in his wheelchair and to a safe location outside. Fire crews and EMS officials then arrived on the scene.
“I didn’t just show up out of nowhere I was dispatched there because of the program that was set up many years ago,” Cloversettle said.
The Care Line program is free to join. You can register for the program online or call 352-797-3690.
Springs Coast Environmental Center teaches kids the importance of nature

When it comes to nature, seeing bugs, our ecosystems, and how it all works together there's one very special place in Hernando County to make sure kids see it all.
The Springs Coast Environmental Center is a partnership between Hernando County Schools and the Southwest Florida Water Management District.
"It's a way to get them started and exploring nature on their own. It's a catalyst, it's a beginning for them," Cheryl Paradis, Director of Springs Coast Environmental Education Center said. "Here at the Environmental Center, I take that very seriously that we're not going to do things that are technology-based. We're going to get outside we're going to explore outside, and that's what this place does."
The center is located right on the Weeki Wachee River. Think of this place as a big hands-on science experiment for every second, fourth, fifth and sixth grader in Hernando County Schools.
"So each grade level has different activities, but they're all geared to engage students in nature. So it might be a nature walk, it might be a hike with a second-grader, it could be kayaking in the river with a sixth-grader, it could be making an animal footprint out of Plaster of Paris and finding out how to study and read an animal footprint," explained Paradis. "It's all the different ways to get a child engaged in nature. This is a complete immersion and get outside and find out what's around you. So we play games, mostly about noticing nature, and being respectful of it, and realizing that we're visitors to nature."
Paradis is adamant about leaving the technology out of this classroom. It's more about exploring and getting to feel and see all that nature has to offer.
"Of course, we have 23 acres on the Weeki Wachee River, which is spectacular first magnitude spring right up the river. And so our students get to see manatee, alligators, turtles, fish, I mean, we've had students see otters. It's pretty exciting to actually be in nature. We had a group of students watch turtles hatch out of eggs, and come down, fall down this walkway and get all the way in the river. We saw a turtle two weeks ago lay her eggs upland. I mean, and they were here to watch all of that. So this place provides that kind of opportunity," said Paradis.
