The Shields Painting Difference: Perfection with Every Brush Stroke

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.

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.

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.

Flooded popular Clay County restaurant reopens for business after Nicole leaves surprising aftermath

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. – A popular Clay County restaurant has reopened after experiencing flooding from Tropical Storm Nicole.

Whitey’s Fish Camp -- a seafood restaurant in Fleming Island that sits right off Swimming Pen Creek -- is no stranger to flooding. The managers told News4JAX that although they did prepare for Nicole’s arrival, they didn’t prepare as much as they did for Hurricane Ian and learned that wasn’t the best choice.

According to Clay County emergency management officials, the county received about two-and-a-half inches of rain from the storm, which caused excessive flooding in various areas such as Green Cove Springs, Doctors Lake and Orange Park.

The tiki bar was flooded, and water covered the docks and pocking lot including the outside deck.

Along with many other residents, Whitey’s Fish Camp managers aren’t the only ones to underestimate Nicole’s impact.

“Definitely not as prepared as we were for Ian because it was just a tropical storm. But all of our docks were submerged. We experienced higher flooding with Nicole than we did in Ian, so it almost got to our upper dining deck as well. We’re very surprised,” Manager Danielle Lawley said.

Despite the surprising aftermath, the restaurant did not sustain major damage. The floodwaters receded in time for the restaurant to reopen on Saturday, which was a relief for customers and musicians who’ve been coming to Whitey’s for years.

“We grew up with this establishment, and we’re happy to have it back up and running. We love it,” said Mike Cook, a musician at Whitey’s.

Although Nicole caught the restaurant off guard, Lawley said they will be more precautious the next time a storm comes around.

“Even if it’s a storm, we’re going to be prepared,” Lawley said.

Other areas of Clay County were also returning back to normal as floodwaters started to recede. Clay County residents were out-and-about in Spring Park in Green Cove Springs on Saturday, which wasn’t the case Thursday because the area was entirely flooded.

A lot of residents were surprised by Nicole’s impact since it was a tropical storm. They said they did not expect a storm of that magnitude to cause so much havoc.

“River flooding is common, but many didn’t think a Nicole would pack this power,” Derrick Surrat said. “I thought we were just going to get rain and wind but that’s mother nature.”

News4JAX Insiders also sent in images of the flooding showing water pouring over sidewalks and flooding boat ramps.

On Friday night, things started to get back to normal as the community enjoyed food trucks in the park.

Five Takeaways: Florida State 38 Syracuse 3

Syracuse lost its fourth straight game on Saturday after falling to Florida State 38-3. Here are five takeaways from the game.

1. Shrader

Garrett Shrader started and saw his first action since the first half of the Notre Dame game. He looked no better than the hampered by injury version of himself he was against the Irish. The improvement from Shrader compared to last season has been tremendous. He was more accurate and in more command of the offense. However, since the injury, he has been nowhere near the same player. In fact, Shrader is not even last year's version of himself. If he is not healthy, Shrader cannot be effective as his ability to make plays with his legs is what makes him dynamic. Take that away and the offense cannot move with him at the helm. I do not believe this means Shrader is suddenly a bad player, rather the injury issues takes away his biggest weapon. I understand Carlos Del Rio-Wilson struggled against Pittsburgh, but it may be better to roll with him and let him gain invaluable experience for the remainder of the regular season. It is too bad Justin Lamson is out for the season because it feels like he was poised to be ready to contribute after his strong spring.

2. Run Defense

What everyone expected to happen did. The best run offense in the ACC ran all over a run defense that had given up 700 yards in the previous three games. Florida State accumulated 230 yards and averaged nearly six yards per carry Saturday night. That makes 930 yards in the last four games (232.5 per game). The defensive line was thin to start the season, but multiple injuries to the two-deep have made that even worse. Combine that with an injury to Stefon Thompson, who was very good against the run, and you have the situation Syracuse is in now. That said, the opponents for the next two games may help a bit. Wake Forest averages 128 yards rushing per game, but only 3.3 yards per carry as a team. In fact, Wake has eclipsed four yards per carry just once in the last four games. Boston College averages just 61 yards per game on the ground and only 2.1 yards per carry. The Eagles have not hit 100 yards on the ground in its last four games.

3. Offense

There are two games left in the regular season and Syracuse is sitting at 6-4. Both of those games are on the road. If the Orange wants to be competitive and potentially win at least one of them, the offense has to get going. To me, that starts with play calling. Where is the creativity from the first six games? Where is targeting Sean Tucker in the passing game? We saw a little more of that against Florida State but not nearly to the same level as early in the season. The offense has gotten more vanilla and predictable. Yes Syracuse is down an offensive lineman. Yes the quarterback is hurt. But opposing defenses do not care about that. Syracuse has to figure something out offensively to give itself a chance. It has been brutal offensively the last three and a half games.

4. November Swoon

Syracuse is now 0-2 in November this season. That is following 0-3 last season and 0-4 in 2020. Overall, Syracuse has lost nine straight post October games. The last win was a 39-30 overtime win over Wake Forest in the 2019 season finale. It has been a theme over the last six to seven seasons. A lot of that has to do with injuries, but that also points to depth issues. Either way, Syracuse has to figure out a way to stop the downward trend after Halloween. It is not just the losses, it is the nature of the losses. Syracuse is getting blown out in these games. This season, it was 19-9 against Pittsburgh with the offense non-competitive and a 38-3 blowout against Florida State. Last season, the Orange lost the last three games by an average score of 38-11. The 2020 campaign was better, losing to Boston College by just three and NC State by one touchdown, but there were also blowouts at the hands of Louisville and Notre Dame. Syracuse plays well and is competitive in September and October, and then the opposite after that. Something has to change to correct that.

5. What Now?

After four straight losses, it is fair to be extremely frustrated. Halfway through game seven, it appeared Syracuse was ready to go 7-0, jump into the top 10 and continue a special season. Then the fourth quarter at Clemson happened and it has been downhill since. There is still an opportunity to finish 8-4 or 7-5, but given the way this team has struggled, especially in the last two games, it is understandable if few have confidence in that outcome. From a football perspective, Syracuse has to pick itself up off the mat, lean on that veteran leadership, made adjustments and move forward. It is easier said than done, and the momentum is certainly not pointing that way. It is also fair to point out the brutality of this stretch of the schedule. Everyone knew it going into the season and it has played out that way. It does not mean the 6-0 start was a fluke (four of those teams are bowl eligible). It does mean, however, that losing out to finish 6-6 would be considered a disappointment by some measures. Even with the injuries.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Orange County suffered more than $200 million in damage because of Hurricane Ian, according to a final estimate released Wednesday by the county.

Orange County Property Appraiser Amy Mercado said the county saw $206.32 million in damage because of the storm.

The assessed estimate hit 1,727 properties, with 1,231 residential properties damaged to the tune of $46.338 million.

The county also saw 410 mobile homes damaged, a cost of $2.445 million, and 86 commercial properties damaged at a cost of $157.537 million.

James Carson’s home was damaged from Hurricane Ian. He said he wasn’t surprised by the county’s assessment.

“It’s just sad to see things like that because everybody lost so much,” Carson said. “It’s just a total loss all the way around.”

Carson said nearly 2 feet of water flooded his home after the storm and didn’t recede for more than a week.

“Water kind of damaged everything. My cabinets, everything was pretty much ruined inside the house,” Carson said. “It’s going to cost thousands of dollars because I’ve got to buy all new appliances, all new bedding, new furniture. It’s like starting all over again.”

Carson said he hopes repairs can be finished at his house by the beginning of next year.

“My plans now is to try to get back on track and just hope for the best,” he said.
