Interior Residential Painting

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.

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

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.

Some schools in Florida and Wisconsin are banning a Japanese sci-fi comic book over concerns that it promotes violence against teachers.
The manga, called "Assassination Classroom," features a large tentacled monster that destroys the moon and threatens to destroy Earth. The monster starts working as a homeroom teacher in a junior high school, where it tells its class that it will give them the opportunity to kill it before it destroys the planet.
The comic was first released in Japan in 2012. It was also turned into television series in 2013 and a live-action film in 2015.
Gifford Middle School in Gifford, Florida was the first to remove the book from its library in March. It removed three volumes, according to Anime News Network. In Wisconsin, the Elmbrook School District also removed the book from its digital library system, the outlet reported.
Moms for Liberty — a conservative group that pushes for the removal of books from classrooms that they deem inappropriate and which has campaigned to get members elected to local school boards — fought for the comic book's removal from Gifford Middle School.
The group also successfully advocated for the removal of a version of Anne Frank's diary that it deemed "sexually explicit" from a high school in Vero Beach, Florida on April 5.
Jennifer Pippin, chair of the Indian River County chapter of Moms for Liberty, said that the group considered the book inappropriate because it features pictures of kids with guns inside a classroom, noting a recent spate of school shootings in the United States.
"We don't want students to think it's OK to kill their teachers," Pippin told USA Today.
The Elmbrook School District in Wisconsin also removed the book from its digital library after parents complained that it was violent and sexual, Fox News reported.
The Elmbrook School District and School District of Indian River County did not immediately return Insider's request for comment on Sunday.
The Elmbrook School District told Fox News in a statement that it decided to remove the series from its library after "applying our current book acquisition guidelines."
Manga declared the problem instead of guns as Wisconsin and Florida schools remove books from libraries

If you’ve ever wondered what is the reason behind all of the school shootings happening all across school grounds in the U.S., it appears that Wisconsin and Florida might just have the answer to all of these inquisitive questions. Surprisingly enough, it all lies in the Assassination Classroom manga.
According to the Gifford Middle School in eastern Florida, as well as Elmbrook School District in southeastern Wisconsin, the octopus-like teacher from Assassination Classroom is the main culprit for all the violent actions taking place on school grounds. Because, of course, it can’t possibly be lenient gun laws’ fault. In a short span of time, the last two months were marked by both schools having taken matters into their own hands by removing the fictional manga by Yusei Matsui from their library, as reported by AnimeNewsNetwork.
Unlike what the school boards might be thinking, Assassination Classroom is hardly a story that incites gun violence within the classroom. In reality, the story pursues the life of a few “misfits” tasked with assassinating their homeroom teacher after Earth is left in jeopardy because of their powerful tentacled “Koro-sensei.” Upon destroying 70% of the moon, the creature offers mankind a chance to avert the same fate for their beloved Earth, leaving them with the task of assassinating him. Not only does this alleged assassination prove to be downright impossible, but it also doesn’t help that he is the best teacher these kids have ever had.
Despite being a more than-tame-story, neither school boards nor parents seem to be able to agree regarding the manga’s alleged role in school shootings. Gifford Middle School recently removed three books from the series from its library, while Elmbrook School District in southeastern Wisconsin removed five books from their e-library just last month after a parent raised concerns that the district might be promoting gun violence. According to some board members and parents, the books were not appropriate given the recent events propelled by the recent school shootings.
“We should all be able to agree that violence toward teachers and explicit sexual content is not something that schools should be glorifying or promoting, especially on taxpayer dollars.”
While it is, undeniably, a story with school elements — as most Shounen manga are — the story could hardly inspire anyone to provoke violent acts upon their aliens — that is, teachers. It is also hardly the reason for the increase in gun violence, but it will not be the first or last time anyone will blame fictional media for violence enabled by their own governmental laws.

The Badgers offered Byron Louis, a four-star running back from Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Thursday. The 5-foot-10, 180 pound athlete still has two more seasons of football at American Heritage before he’d potentially join a collegiate program as a member of their class of 2025.
Louis has now received 24 Division 1 offers, including programs like Georgia, Ohio State and USC. That being said, Wisconsin is known for producing star running backs like Jonathan Taylor, Melvin Gordon, Montee Ball and Ron Dayne amongst others.
Head coach Luke Fickell and offensive coordinator Phil Longo will look to improve upon the early success of current halfback Braelon Allen in 2023 and Louis could potentially be next up to be a star in the Badgers’ backfield.

Yusei Matsui's sci-fi comedy manga, Assassination Classroom, is now banned from schools in Florida and Wisconsin.
As reported by Anime News Network, Gifford Middle School in Florida removed three volumes from its library back in March. Southeastern Wisconsin's Elmbrook School District also removed the series from its electronic library. In both states, the bans took place after concerned parents and advocacy groups accused the manga of promoting violent acts against teachers.

Schools' Objections to Assassination Classroom
These bans appear to be motivated, in part, by concerns about rising instances of school shootings. The volumes of Assassination Classroom that Gifford Middle School removed from its library each featured images of students wielding guns. Jennifer Pippin, chair of the Indian River County chapter of Moms for Liberty, deemed the books inappropriate, stating, "We don't want students to think it's OK to kill their teachers." They cited the recent history of school shootings in the U.S. as another related factor. A Florida-based organization, called Citizens Defending Freedom, also announced that it would take action against the manga for both its explicit sexual content and its alleged promotion of gun violence against teachers.
Wisconsin took action against the series for similar reasons. Elmbrook School District removed five volumes from its electronic library after a parent complained that the manga was blatantly promoting gun violence. Another parent also raised concerns about violence and the sexualization of minors in the series. North Carolina's Pender Country is also contesting the manga's presence in its libraries, due to fears that it actually instructs students on how to kill their teachers.
Additionally, Yusei Matsui's manga is being cited as evidence of the need for further action in school libraries. Virginia Delegate, Tim Anderson mentioned Assassination Classroom while arguing in favor of House Bill 1379, which would require all school principals to keep track of works containing sexually explicit content and make that information available to parents. In his statement, Anderson denounced the fact that the manga is still available in some school libraries. The aforementioned bill passed the House of Delegates back in February.
First published in July 2012, Assassination Classroom revolves around a group of students that must figure out a way to take down their school teacher, who is actually an ultra-powerful octopus-like creature that has pledged to destroy Earth in one year. Since the creature is impervious to all military weaponry, it is up to the students of Kunugigaoka Middle School to devise a plan to destroy it and save the world. Studio Lerche later adapted the manga into an anime series, which premiered in January 2015.
