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

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.

The Premier Commercial Painting Company in Pine Ridge, 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.

02
Retail Store Painting

Citrus County residents in failed golf course community concerned over development plans

PINE RIDGE, Fla. - Most of the Pine Ridge Golf Course community is opposed to a proposed plan by a developer to turn the green into a residential property of more than 80 new homes.
The golf club closed in 2022, and has been sitting empty ever since, but many residents living on the course, who are retirees, said they bought these homes for just that: Golf and greenery.
"We bought the house and decided to live on a golf course, because this was our dream. Shortly thereafter, things took a turn for the worst," Diane South, a resident of Pine Ridge, told FOX13.

"Like many of our neighbors, this was our final place to live, this is why we chose Pine Ridge; beautiful area, great neighbors, many acres… this was to be our final home, that’s it," South said. "It needs to remain recreational golf course and that is what we will be presenting."
She and other Pine Ridge residents plan to speak at a Citrus County Commission meeting next Tuesday, Jan. 9, where a decision will be made. The developer will also be presenting his plans to the committee.
Commissioner Rebecca Bays told FOX 13 that it’s a legal process, so although she can’t say much, she can say that she has heard both from residents for and against the development. That they need a plan soon for the failed golf club.
"The golf course is a failed golf course and went up for sale as a golf course that wasn’t making it viable," Bays said. "There are people that are ‘pro’ the change of use, they don’t mind the development and building more houses there, but the majority of folks are opposed."

Many residents who are concerned said that not only will they lose their retirement dream, but they fear another dump in their home values, that some said has already gone down by nearly 25%.
"They want to take away 221-acre golf course to put in homes… it defies logic. To me, it’s a five-minute conversation and we say, ‘no they’re not going to do this," said Ron Walser, the chairman of Save the Golf Course Property Committee. "I’m not against development, but I think it needs to be done responsibly."
The Citrus County Commission meeting to make a final decision on the project will be held Jan. 9 at 5 p.m.
Pine Ridge parts ways with Eric Poyner, to begin another search for football coach

Pine Ridge parted ways with football coach Eric Poyner late Tuesday afternoon, athletic director John New confirmed to The News-Journal in a phone interview.
Poyner, 47, guided Pine Ridge to its best start to a football season in 15 years as the team won its first three games of 2023. However, the Panthers ended the campaign on a six-game losing streak and endured its fair share of disappointing finishes along the way.
Week 11 game balls:Which Volusia-Flagler high school football players dominated in regular season finales?
Pine Ridge lost by one point to Lake Howell, two to Mount Dora and three to Seabreeze in a game in which it held a three-touchdown lead late in the third quarter. The Panthers also fell to then-winless rival Deltona, a victory which would have been its first in the Battle for the Boulevard series since 2012.
"I'm obviously disappointed I'm not going to be the head coach moving forward, but I know what I inherited a year-and-a-half ago," Poyner said. "I know the stability that I brought, which was sorely needed. It sucks, but I know the good I did and the turnaround at the school.
"I've been around long enough to know these things happen. It's just not the right fit anymore."
A first-time head coach, Poyner ends his tenure with a 3-16 overall record.
Pine Ridge has gone through nine full-time coaches since 2010; Poyner matched Bob Goebel, Matt Yancey and Kenny Pickens for the most wins of any coach during that stretch.
Yancey holds the best winning percentage (.333), stepping down two months after the conclusion of the 2016 season, his only one in charge.
In the last 14 seasons, the Panthers have lost 117 of 133 games, including five wins forfeited in 2011 for dressing an ineligible player.
New, in his second stint as the school's AD, leans toward finding a replacement with prior head coaching experience but is primarily seeking a candidate that embodies leadership.
"We're trying to right the ship and get back on track with football," New said. "We've had a lot of good coaches that have come in but, for whatever reason, we can't find the right fit for our program."
Pine Ridge has qualified for the Florida High School Athletic Association's football playoffs only once since the school opened in 1994. Eight teams from Volusia and Flagler counties made the field this season, including West Volusia counterparts DeLand and University.
Poyner plans to take time to "decompress" during the Thanksgiving break before potentially re-entering the coaching ranks. Prior to his stint at Pine Ridge, he spent five years as an assistant at Lake Howell.
"The right situation will find me, whenever that happens," Poyner added.
‘Retail Is Solid in Coral Springs:’ Few Retail Vacancies at Shopping Centers Across City, Study Finds

CORAL SPRINGS, FL – At the Pine Ridge Square shopping center in Coral Springs, there’s only a 2 percent retail vacancy rate.
And up the street at Magnolia Shoppes, the plaza has no retail space available for leasing.
A recent retail market study shows that Coral Springs continues to have relatively few retail openings at shopping centers across the city.

“Retail is solid in Coral Springs, and Florida as a whole,” said Lindsey Swart, a leasing associate at Forefront Commercial, who did the market study.
“A lot of national tenants are targeting Coral Springs for expansion due to population density and higher than average incomes,” she added.
In studying vacancy rates at 20 shopping centers in Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, and Margate, Swart found the majority of them had less than 5 percent vacancies -- with four of them having no vacancies at all, including Magnolia Shoppes at 9549-9569 Westview Drive.
Swart had done a similar study earlier this year and found similar results, indicating the ongoing resilience of the local retail market as businesses continue recovering from numerous challenges of the pandemic, including rising rental costs and soaring inflation.
Overall, Coral Springs has a 4.2 percent retail vacancy rate, according to the city of Coral Springs.
That compares to an 8.5 percent vacancy rate for offices in Coral Springs, and a 3.5 percent vacancy rate for manufacturing in the city, said Kristi Bartlett, the city’s economic development director.
And considerable new retail space is coming to downtown Coral Springs.
Close to 215,000-square-feet of new commercial space is planned for construction at three new developments at the corners of Sample Road and University Drive, according to city documents.
Here are other findings in Swart’s study:
- Brookside Plaza at 10633-10701 Wiles Road has 1 percent vacancy (1,166 square feet)
- Coral Creek Plaza at 4631 State Road 7 has 5 percent vacancy (3,126 square feet)
- Pine Ridge Square at 4601-4695 N. University Drive has 2 percent vacancy (1,565 square feet)
- Turtle Run Shoppes at 6221-6273 W. Sample Road has 2 percent vacancy (3,560 square feet)

Pine Ridge High School senior beats the odds with a stellar final football season

Student athletes are often seen as some of the hardest working ones in a room, especially if they feel they have something to prove, like Pine Ridge High School senior Jordan Buchanan. After what could have been the end of the road for him in football, he turned it into an opportunity.
What You Need To Know
“Summer going into my junior year was probably one of the hardest times I’ve faced in my life,” Buchanan said after he broke his arm during tackle drills at spring practice. “Doctors told me that a couple of days later that I was most likely going to miss my entire junior season, if not, more than that.”
At the time, Jordan had only played four games his sophomore year because of the pandemic and was looking forward to playing his Junior year, but wound up sitting out the whole season.
“I did what I could for my team, I’d be at practice, cheer them on the field, I was there in whatever way I could be,” he said.
It was that push, that responsibility of being a team leader that not only showed the team who he was, but to himself.
“Seeing that those guys looked up to me, even when I wasn’t on the team, that motivated me a lot because it showed me how much they cared for me and that they relied on me and I needed to do everything I could for them,” he said.
Since being a part of the team, there have been five coaches in total for Pine Ridge football, giving him a leader mentality.
“I had to really rely on myself, because a lot of the time I didn’t have a coach, a lot of it was pushing myself and teaching myself what to do,” he said. “Especially during my year off I really had to remind myself of all the hard work I had done years prior and one year in the grand scheme of things wasn’t so bad, but I had to work even harder.”
Jordan says the minute he was cleared to play, he went to work. Drills, the weight room, you name it.
“I really self-assessed myself and knew what I needed to work on having a successful senior year,” he said.
Jordan led the team in tackles on offense and was the second leading receiver as a tight end. While he balled out his senior year, Buchanan has been a stellar student, with a 4.26 GPA. He had multiple scholarship offers, but the young man loves to work and challenge himself.
“I’m going to be a walk on at UCF,” he said.
While it can seem scary, Buchanan says he’s a person that never gives up nor backs down from a challenge.
“With all that I’ve been through, I can get through anything, since I broke my arm, it’s only been up,” he said. “I know the expectations I’m going to have to meet going into that and I’m not nervous about it, I’m just ready for it."
Golf course owner plans new homes, townhouses and recreation center

Golf courses nationwide have hit on hard times because the outdoor sport has fallen out of favor with many who would rather get the same thrills from a computer screen.
The popularity decline has forced golf course owners to think out of the box and the new owner of the Pine Ridge Golf Club in Beverly Hills believes he has a way not only to keep his course viable but also bring needed housing to the entire county.
Neil Surati, president/owner of Shanti Golf LLC, pitched a plan to Pine Ridge Property Owners Association members at a special presentation last week.
The idea is to close the 9-hole executive/par course and build the following on the 40-plus acres:
• 25-30 upscale townhomes, from $250,000 to $375,000.
• A recreation center with an office; walking trails, fitness center, indoor pool, tennis and pickleball court.
• Three- to four-story apartments for 55-and-older seniors who would pay rent from $900 to $1,200. There would be four buildings in all.
The ambitious plan still must clear the Pine Ridge Property Owners Association. Nothing has been submitted to the county.
One part of his project has already hit a snag.
Amy Bidwell, senior planner for county land development, said the affordable senior housing component would not fit on the property because it is designated as a golf course.
Bidwell, in a memo to Surati, said he would need to go through the comprehensive plan amendment and also needs an amendment to the Pine Ridge master plan.
Surati is so confident his idea will score a hole-in-one that he already plans to use the proceeds from the housing/recreation investment to improve the remaining 18-hole course.
“That is my goal,” said Surati.
Surati said he is well aware of golf courses closing around this area and he doesn’t want Pine Ridge added to the list. Surati bought the 126-acre Pine Ridge Golf Club in October for $600,000-plus.
“I see a need for housing (in Citrus County),” he said.
