The Shields Painting Difference: Perfection with Every Brush Stroke

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.

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.

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

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?

A 31-year-old Reddick man is behind bars after voices in his head allegedly instructed him to rob a Dollar General store in Ocala.
On Monday, Marion County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the Dollar General store located at 13200 W Highway 326 in Ocala after an employee called 911 to report a robbery. Upon arrival, deputies established a perimeter and located a man matching the description of the suspect less than a mile from the store on Highway 326, according to the arrest report.
The man was identified in the report as Matthew Mark Pringle.
An MCSO corporal arrived on scene to assume the role of lead investigator. The report stated that the corporal interviewed witnesses at the scene and reviewed video surveillance footage from the store.
A store employee told the corporal that they recognized Pringle from a similar robbery that had occurred at the store the day before, and the employee immediately called 911. According to the report, the employee was then “jumped” by Pringle, and he snatched the phone from the employee’s hand.
After being attacked by Pringle, the employee complied by opening the cash register, and Pringle took an “unknown amount of U.S. currency” from the cash till. Pringle then fled from the store on foot, heading westbound on Highway 326, according to the report.
The corporal noted in the report that two additional witnesses were interviewed and provided similar details of the robbery incident. In addition, the corporal noted that Pringle was observed on the store’s video surveillance footage, and his face was “plainly visible.”
Shortly after the corporal reviewed the store’s surveillance footage, which showed the attack and robbery at the counter, the corporal made contact with Pringle and noted that he was “wearing the same clothing from the video.” Pringle was placed under arrest and transported to the MCSO Major Crimes Unit for an interview.
After being read his Miranda rights, Pringle admitted to robbing the Dollar General store, and he further admitted to a robbery that had occurred the previous day (November 12) at the same location. He claimed that he was “hearing voices” that were “directing him to conduct the robberies,” according to the report.
The corporal noted that Pringle did not elaborate on his motivations for the robberies, and he refused to provide any further details during the post-Miranda interview.
Pringle was transported to Marion County Jail where he is currently being held without bond. He is facing felony charges for unarmed robbery and hindering, delaying, or preventing the communication to a law enforcement officer of information relating to the commission of an offense.
A court date has not been scheduled yet, according to jail records.

A 31-year-old mother was arrested after she was accused of intentionally crashing her SUV into another parent’s vehicle in a road rage incident that occurred at an elementary school in Marion County.
On Monday morning, a Marion County Sheriff’s Office deputy responded to Reddick-Collier Elementary School (4595 W Highway 316 in Reddick) to assist the Florida Highway Patrol with a two-vehicle collision. Upon arrival at the school, an FHP trooper informed the deputy that the crash was intentional, according to the MCSO report.
The deputy made contact with the female victim who advised that she was traveling westbound on W Highway 316 in an SUV, and she was heading to the elementary school to drop off her son. The report stated that when she approached the four-way intersection on W Highway 316, another SUV traveling on NW Gainesville Road attempted to cut her off.
The victim advised that she had reached the stop sign first, and she continued traveling across the street. She stated that this upset the driver of the second SUV, identified in the report as Jennifer Perez.
When the victim reached the car line for the elementary school, she stated that Perez’s SUV pulled alongside her in the grass shoulder. Perez then began yelling at the victim, and the victim yelled back. Following the verbal exchange, Perez proceeded to drive her SUV into the victim’s vehicle with her son sitting in the front passenger seat, according to the MCSO report.
After the collision, the victim advised that Perez told her, “Yeah, I just did that.” Perez then continued into the car line for the school while the victim exited her vehicle to assess the damage. The deputy noted in the report that an independent eyewitness saw the collision and corroborated the victim’s statement.
The deputy made contact with Perez. After being read her Miranda rights, Perez advised that it was her turn at the intersection of W Highway 316 and NW Gainesville Road. She admitted that she drove onto the grass shoulder and yelled at the victim, though Perez claimed that the victim drove her off the road and hit her, according to the MCSO report.
In the report, the deputy noted that the damage on both vehicles was consistent with the statements from the victim and eyewitness.
A computer check of Perez revealed that she does not have any prior convictions for battery, and a citation was issued to her for unknowingly driving with a suspended or revoked license.
Perez was arrested, transported to Marion County Jail, and she was released the same day on $10,000 bond. She is facing a felony charge for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
A court date has not been scheduled yet, according to jail records.

A 35-year-old Reddick man was arrested by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office after a female neighbor accused him of attacking her and holding a knife against her throat.
On Tuesday, an MCSO deputy responded to a residence located on N U.S. 441 in Reddick in reference to a physical disturbance. Upon arrival, the deputy made contact with the female victim who stated that a neighbor, identified as Joseph Lee Stengline, had attacked her while she was walking her dog.
According to the victim, she was walking her dog on 190th Street when Stengline allegedly grabbed her, pulled her hair, held a knife to her throat, and told her that she was “too pretty not to play with.”
The victim told the deputy that she felt a cut on her throat when she attempted to push away from Stengline. She advised that she was able to get away from Stengline and she ran to another neighbor’s home to contact law enforcement.
In the MCSO report, the deputy noted that the victim’s throat had a minor cut that was not bleeding.
The deputy located Stengline on 190th Street and made contact with him. Stengline claimed that nothing had happened with the victim. According to Stengline, the victim’s boyfriend had confronted him about an issue, and everything was “handled” after they smoked a cigarette.
After being read his Miranda rights, Stengline stated that he had also contacted 911 to report the incident with the victim because he “knew this was a set up.” He claimed that he never touched the victim, and he added that the victim’s story was “made up.”
The deputy conducted a pat-down search of Stengline and was unable to locate a knife.
The victim’s boyfriend was interviewed by the deputy and advised that there have been issues with Stengline over money that was owed and “drug deals that went bad.” He told the deputy that he had spoken with Stengline prior to the arrival of law enforcement, and he initially ran when MCSO arrived on scene because he “didn’t want any trouble.”
The deputy interviewed a male witness who stated that the victim had pounded on his door and was crying for help. The witness advised that the victim was claiming that she had been attacked, and the witness let the victim use a phone to contact law enforcement and her boyfriend.
When the deputy conducted another interview with Stengline, he confirmed that he had issues with the victim’s boyfriend. According to Stengline, the victim’s boyfriend had previously shorted him on drugs and had attempted to steal his money.
Stengline admitted that he had previously threatened the victim’s boyfriend with a knife several months prior to the incident involving the victim, but he stated that he had never pulled a knife on the victim.
Stengline was arrested and transported to Marion County Jail where he is currently being held on $5,000 bond. He is facing a felony charge for aggravated battery.
A court date has not been scheduled yet, according to jail records.
Reddick mayor, entire town council have resigned; Form 6 financial disclosure form blamed

REDDICK — The introduction of the Form 6 requirement has led to a long list of resignations from the governing bodies of Florida's small municipalities.
The latest example is the Town of Reddick, where the entire town council and the mayor have turned in their resignation letters.
Randy Klein, of the Klein & Klein law firm, serves as the town's attorney. He told a Star-Banner reporter on Wednesday that he had the resignation letters from the five council members and the mayor. Klein said the letters were dated between Dec. 29 and Dec. 30.
Klein said one letter indicated the reason for resignation was the Form 6 requirement. He said if he had to guess, he would say they all left because of Form 6.
"No one wants to see it disappears," Klein said, making mention of the Town of Reddick.
Form 6
The six who have decided to leave early are: Mayor John Vetter; council President Steven K. Rogers; and council members Martha Cromwell, Shirley Youmans, Nadine Stokes and Myra Sherman.
Neither the mayor nor council members could be reached for comment on Wednesday.
The lawyer said the only person who has not resigned is Town Clerk Marjorie Stroup. Though she's elected, she doesn't have to fill out the controversial form, Klein said.
As of Jan. 1, council members are required to fill out Form 6, which lists their assets and liabilities. The form can be accessed by the public.
Other office holders who have resigned have called the form an invasion of their privacy and have signaled their strong opposition.
Last week, four of the five McIntosh town council members submitted their resignation letters. And, in the city of Dunnellon, the mayor and a council member walked away from their positions, citing Form 6.
So far, no other Marion County elected officials have left office because of Form 6. Anyone who wanted to vacate their positions had to do so before Jan. 1.
What happens now?Will DeSantis replace dozens of local officials who resigned ahead of a new disclosure law?
A brief history of the Town of Reddick
Klein said although there are no longer any elected officials in the town, it continues to operate because the clerk has authorization to sign checks so the town can pay its bills. Klein said the town currently cannot enter into new contracts.
According to its website, Reddick was founded in 1882 and is located in northwest Marion County. The website notes the council meets the first Thursday of every month at 7:30 p.m. at the Reddick Community Center.
"Reddick is proud that it has no municipal taxes and is one of only three municipalities in the State of Florida that is debt free. The Town is a community of people living and working together and caring for one another. And we hope it will always be," according to the website.
The website also states: "There will be an informational meeting Thursday, January 4th, at 7:00 pm for residents of the Town of Reddick. Meeting will take place at the Community Center, 4345 NW 152nd St., Reddick, FL, for the purpose of updating everyone of the current status of the Town of Reddick."
Resignations:Form 6 strikes again: Four of the five McIntosh Town Council members have resigned
For now, Klein said he hopes residents will be willing to serve the town. He said council members are not paid and the elections are staggered. He also said that the seats of three council members are up for election in April.

A 56-year-old man was arrested by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office after he was accused of robbing a local gas station at gunpoint and stealing approximately $165 worth of cigars.
On Wednesday, an MCSO corporal and multiple deputies responded to the Circle K gas station located at 17980 N Highway 441 in Reddick in reference to an armed robbery that had just occurred.
Upon arrival, the corporal interviewed two convenience store employees/victims who provided corroborating statements, and the deputies viewed the store’s video surveillance footage, according to the MCSO report.
Both victims told the corporal that they were outside the convenience store when they observed the male suspect, later identified as David Wayne Navarro, approaching the gas station shortly before 5 a.m. The report stated that one of the victims entered the convenience store and walked out of sight to the back of the store, and Navarro and the second victim entered the store moments later.
The second victim began interacting with Navarro as a potential customer. When the second victim approached the counter, Navarro allegedly displayed a revolver in his right hand, and he demanded “all of the cigars,” according to the MCSO report.
According to the second victim, Navarro was calm during the incident and advised that he “did not want to hurt anyone.” The second victim proceeded to hand Navarro approximately eight cartons of Cigarillo cigars in two plastic grocery bags. The MCSO report stated that the first victim emerged from the back of the store at this time, and Navarro fled from the store on foot.
An MCSO deputy was canvassing the area when Navarro was observed walking northbound on N Highway 441, just north of Highway 318 and the gas station. The MCSO report stated that Navarro matched the suspect that was viewed on the convenience store’s surveillance footage, and he also matched the description that was provided by both victims.
The MCSO report stated that after being read his Miranda rights, Navarro admitted that he had committed the robbery. He claimed that he was “struggling to breathe” due to a medical condition, and he had gone to the convenience store to take the cigars because they “help him breathe.”
During the post-Miranda interview, Navarro stated that the revolver was not loaded, and this was confirmed by the deputies when they retrieved the firearm. Navarro stated that he was “partially hoping he would get arrested” so he could go to jail for medical treatment, since the hospital discharged him on numerous prior occasions without helping him feel better, according to the MCSO report.
Navarro was arrested and transported to Marion County Jail where he is currently being held on $50,000 bond. He is facing a felony charge for robbery with a firearm.
A court date has been scheduled at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, October 10, according to jail records.
