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. 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.

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 51-year-old Weirsdale man was arrested during Tuesday’s meeting of the Marion County Board of County Commissioners after making threats towards a commissioner regarding the prior confiscation of his shotgun.
On Tuesday, October 5, a deputy with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office responded to the McPherson Governmental Complex in reference to a disturbance during the regular meeting of the Board of Marion County Commissioners.
Upon arrival at the complex, which is located at 601 SE 25th Avenue in Ocala, a deputy made contact with James Thomas Otto. Officials and witnesses say Otto was allegedly making threats against an elected official and preventing the meeting from concluding, according to an MCSO report.
After being warned not to speak, Otto allegedly told Commissioner Kathy Bryant that he had gone to court and “got his gun back,” according to the report. Otto then allegedly pointed to Bryant and repeated the phrase, “You’re out of here,” a total of three times.
According to the report, Bryant felt threatened and left the meeting before Chairman Jeff Gold ordered Otto to leave.
The report states that Otto continued to disrupt the meeting until an off-duty officer that happened to be in attendance approached Otto and placed him into custody.
The off-duty officer noted Otto’s speech was slurred, and after he was questioned, Otto advised that he had consumed three beers.
Otto is currently on pre-trial release after he was arrested on April 7 for allegedly driving with a suspended license, possession of cannabis, and possession of a firearm by a felon.
As part of his arrest on April 7, Otto’s shotgun was seized and has remained in the custody of MCSO. He has allegedly approached numerous government officials, persons from the clerk of court, and sheriff’s office staff asking that his shotgun be returned to him.
According to the report, Otto has repeatedly blamed Commissioner Bryant on public record regarding the confiscation of his shotgun and it not being returned to him.
The MCSO report states that Otto appeared in court earlier in the day on October 5 and that he was disruptive during the appearance. The State Attorney’s office advised that his case has not been dismissed and that no order has been issued to return his shotgun.
Since Otto is on pre-trial release in another case, he is currently being held without bond until his first appearance hearing.
Due to his alleged threatening behavior, the sheriff’s office recommends that Otto has no further contact with Bryant, that he stays away from the McPherson Government Complex and the Board of County Commissioners, that he does not possess or attempt to possess any firearm or ammunition, that he does not possess or consume alcohol or controlled substances, and that he does not enter any bars, nightclubs, or other similar establishments that sell alcohol.
He faces a slew of additional misdemeanor charges as a result of the incident, including threatening to harm an elected official and breach of the peace.

Sumter students are aiming for the stars and a Weirsdale resident is quite serious about inspiring them to rise even higher.
Phil Rosenberg is donating telescopes for students to use through his “One Hundred Telescopes Project.” He donated two more telescopes this past week to Bushnell Elementary School and Webster Elementary School, bringing the number of donations to the school district to five. Each telescope is given a name, and the recently donated telescopes are in honor of Michele Uss and Pastor Drew Willard.
“The idea is to create an environment where every child gets to say ‘Wow,’” Rosenberg told Colleen Strickland, coordinator of 6-12 curriculum.
During the school presentations, Rosenberg demonstrated how to use the Celestron Nexstar 4SE Maksutov telescopes and showed the students the
photos he took with his telescope from his own observatory, which he invited teachers and their students to visit.
Superintendent Richard A. Shirley said the school district is thankful for the Rosenberg family’s donation and School Board member Sally Moss for helping coordinate the gift.
“The students will probably be forever interested in astronomy because of this donation,” he said.
To show appreciation, the students of from Bushnell Elementary and Webster Elementary wrote 100 thank-you cards and posted them to the wall
to share the excitement. Students also shared original pieces of poetry with an astronomy theme during the presentation. Every student received a book to add to their personal library provided by Title IV funds and Suncoast for Kids.
School Board Member Sally Moss, of The Villages, gave each child a laminated solar system bookmark to go with their book.
“These telescopes will help the students discover a whole new world that right now they only see as sparkling diamonds in the night sky,” Moss said. “Tomorrow, they could be using these stars to navigate through space.”
As the students and teachers learned what they can do with the new instruments, such as look at the sun with a special solar filter or look at the moon during daylight, Rosenberg encouraged them to utilize thetelescopes to inspire others. The telescopes are the first to be donated to the two schools and the science teachers will use them to teach lessons with their students.
Two books authored by Rosenberg also were donated to the school media centers.
“The main idea is to inspire kids to learn something we’re forgetting in our culture, which is how to dream and use your imagination,” Rosenberg said.

WEIRSDALE, Fla. (WCJB) - Stanton-Weirsdale Elementary School was built for the black community during segregation. Since then roads that lead up to the school haven’t been paved and flood a lot.
School board member Don Browning said he’s been fighting this problem for two decades.
“It’s a governmental survey and it covers the road that has already been existing for 50 years proper of the school suddenly.”
Many residents have lived in the area for generations and they’ve been asking for something to be done for more than 20 years.
“This road has been here for years, years and years. I walked this road my kids walked this road and it’s just been here and now nobody is coming trying to sit here and be a part of it cause it’s not there’s,” said Gloria Boger.
There are also no stop signs at the end of the road, causing safety concerns and residents are worried a kid could get hit.
Resident Hatty Hanks discusses a meeting her husband attended to get the roads fixed.
“They were in a meeting discussing the roads, but the county said we own the property so we have to pay for the roads to be fixed so it never gotten fixed.”
Residents said they had to raise money themselves to get limestone spread across the roads.
“Water in the roads when it rains and it’s been there for days and then they do other highways and not our highways,” said Sarah Gavin.
Although records said the school board owns the road no change has been done.
“Crosswalk, blinking light, 20 miles an hour sign at other schools but down here at this historic black school none of the above,” said Browning.
Browning added he is coming up with a plan to get this issue solved in all counties in Florida.

A 31-year-old Weirsdale man was arrested by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office after he was accused of striking and choking a woman during an argument over laundry.
On Friday, December 9, two MCSO deputies responded to a local residence in reference to a domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, one of the deputies made contact with the female victim who advised that she had been in a physical altercation with Ryan Michael Slyke.
According to the victim, Slyke woke her up and began accusing her of bleaching his clothes. The victim advised that she did not bleach any of Slyke’s clothes and she was unsure what had happened to his clothing.
The victim told the deputy that Slyke began pouring bleach onto clothes that belonged to the victim and one of her children. She then alleged that Slyke began to punch and slap her, according to the MCSO report.
When the victim attempted to go around Slyke, he grabbed her by the neck in the living room, and her ability to breathe was briefly restricted, according to the victim. She told the deputy that she was suffering from headaches and light dizziness from the incident.
The victim advised that Slyke ordered her and her children to stay on the couch in the living room. She alleged that Slyke continued to slap her while she was next to her children on the couch. When the opportunity arose, the victim stated that she left the residence, screamed for help, and a neighbor contacted law enforcement.
The deputy noted in the MCSO report that the victim’s voice appeared to be raspy and she had a laceration on her neck.
One of the victim’s children was interviewed by the deputy and claimed to have observed Slyke grabbing the victim’s neck, pushing her onto the couch, and slapping her every time she tried to speak. The child advised that the victim was eventually able to get up from the couch and leave the residence, according to the MCSO report.
The deputy made contact with Slyke. After being read his Miranda rights, Slyke stated that he was questioning the victim about his bleached clothing when she began arguing with him. He claimed that the victim began to shove him “in the neck area,” which caused scratches around his neck.
Slyke advised that he pushed the victim in order to get her away from him, and he denied that any other physical contact had occurred between himself and the victim. He claimed that the victim was “lying” and “just wants him arrested.”
The deputy noted in the MCSO report that Slyke had scratch marks near his neck.
Slyke was arrested, transported to Marion County Jail, and he was later released on $10,000 bond. He is facing a felony charge for committing domestic battery by strangulation.
A court date has been scheduled at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, January 10, 2023, according to jail records.
Man arrested for punching teen during road rage incident in Marion County

A road rage incident in Marion County led to the arrest of a 39-year-old man after he was accused of reaching into a vehicle and punching a teenager in the face.
On Saturday, October 28, shortly before 1:45 p.m., a Marion County Sheriff’s Office deputy responded to the 17700 block of SE 155th Avenue in Weirsdale in reference to a verbal altercation and traffic accident.
Upon arrival, the deputy made contact with the 17-year-old victim who stated that he was driving his car in the area while “searching for an address.” He stated that he then noticed a vehicle approaching his car from behind, and the driver of the vehicle – identified as Christopher Lee Gallagher – began following him closely and honking the horn, according to the arrest report.
According to the victim, Gallagher began “driving reckless” and used the shoulder of the roadway in an attempt to pass the victim’s car. The victim told the deputy that he then accelerated, which prevented Gallagher from passing him.
The victim advised that Gallagher proceeded to enter the oncoming lane and passed the victim’s car while traveling at a high rate of speed. Gallagher then moved in front of the victim’s car and “slammed on his brakes,” which nearly caused a collision, according to the report.
After both vehicles stopped in the middle of the roadway, the victim advised that Gallagher exited his vehicle and approached the victim who was still sitting in the driver’s seat of his car. The victim stated that Gallagher then reached through the driver’s side window while yelling obscenities and struck him twice, according to the report.
The deputy noted that the first punch allegedly struck the victim on the left side of his head, near his temple, and the second punch struck his left forearm. After being punched, the victim stated that he accidentally released his foot from the brake pedal, which caused his car to roll into the rear of Gallagher’s vehicle.
The deputy spoke with two witnesses who were passengers in the victim’s vehicle. The report stated that they both provided statements that were consistent with the victim’s statement.
Another witness, Gallagher’s spouse, was also interviewed by the deputy. She was traveling with Gallagher at the time of the incident, and she advised that she saw her spouse get out of their vehicle and approach the victim’s car.
Gallagher’s spouse told the deputy that she did not see the alleged punches that were thrown by her spouse because she was “putting her shoes on.” When she looked over at the victim’s car, she stated that she observed her spouse and the victim “moving their arms around,” according to the report.
The deputy made contact with Gallagher who claimed that the victim “kept accelerating and abruptly slowing down for no apparent reason.” Gallagher stated that the victim “flipped him off” when he honked the horn, and he admitted to approaching the victim’s vehicle after they were both stopped in the middle of the roadway.
Gallagher further admitted to leaning in through the victim’s open window, and he stated he got “nose-to-nose” with the victim while yelling. After being read his Miranda rights, Gallagher denied punching the victim and stated that the incident was just a “verbal argument,” according to the report.
Gallagher was arrested, transported to Marion County Jail, and he was released the same day on $25,000 bond. He is facing a felony charge for burglary with assault or battery.
A court date has not been scheduled yet, according to jail records.
