Out where Lake Kerr's long shoreline meets the pines, Fort McCoy keeps its small-town feel.
Fort McCoy took its name from a frontier fort of the early 1800s, back in the Seminole War years, and it still feels like a town that knows its own history. Lake Kerr anchors the area, a freshwater lake of more than 2,830 acres with close to 19 miles of shoreline, and much of local life turns toward the water. Kids fill the halls of Fort McCoy School from Pre-K through eighth grade, and the old brick schoolhouse now serves as the Fort McCoy Public Library, converted back in 1996. When the Marion County Fair rolls around each year, families head out for the rides, the food, the live music and the exhibits. It's the kind of place where the seasons are marked by things everyone shows up for.
Bing's Painting Plus is a Marion County family company, started in 2021 by Donald Bing, and Fort McCoy is exactly the kind of town we like working in. We paint the full range here, from the older homes that have stood for decades to the new houses going up on open land, inside and out. Interior and exterior painting is backed by a three-year warranty, cabinet, fence, and commercial work by a one-year warranty, and we're licensed and insured. The full price goes on paper before we start, and we leave your home cleaner than we found it. We're grateful to look after homes for Fort McCoy families.
Fort McCoy interiors include homes around the Lake Kerr area that go back to the early 1960s. We paint interiors throughout Fort McCoy, from lakeside rooms to freshly finished spaces. Done right, the finish holds and reads true in the light.
Plenty of Fort McCoy homes are manufactured houses from the 1970s through the 1990s, set on private lots tucked into the woods. A coating meant for constant sun and damp air holds its color far longer.
Kitchen and bathroom cabinets take more daily wear than any wall in a Fort McCoy home, and the humidity down here is hard on a finish. Cabinets need thorough cleaning and a hard, durable coat that can handle hands, steam and heat, so they look sharp for years.
Much of the newer building in Fort McCoy is individual homes out on acreage or lakefront lots. Florida sun and rain wear bare wood fast, so a good stain has to seal and shield it. We stain decks across Fort McCoy, where prepping the boards and using a weather-ready finish keeps them standing up to sun and foot traffic while the grain shows.
Out east of Fort McCoy, the Eureka area takes in Eureka Heights, South Eureka Sites and Eureka Forest Campsites. A wood fence lives in full weather year-round, so a stain that repels water and blocks the sun keeps it from graying and splitting.
Southeast of Fort McCoy along SR 19, Salt Springs takes in a community known as Salt Springs Resort. Commercial surfaces see heavy use and hard sun, so they call for durable coatings and a plan that keeps a business running.
The Bing's Painting Plus Process
Every job runs the same seven steps, in the same order — from the written estimate to your final walkthrough. No steps skipped.
We walk the job, note what prep it genuinely calls for, and hand you a written quote with scope, materials, and price all on the page. The number you agree to is the number on the invoice. No rounding up at the end.
We confirm the schedule, nail down your color or stain choices, and answer any site-specific questions before we arrive. No one should be surprised on day one. Not you, not us.
Before anything opens, everything that needs to stay clean is covered. Floors and furniture inside. Plants and pavers outside. Careful setup is how we avoid callbacks, and how we treat your home with the respect it deserves.
We clean, patch, caulk, sand, and prime before a drop of color goes on. In Marion County's humidity, prep is where the finish is decided, so we never rush it. Mildew-resistant primer in bathrooms and laundry rooms. Moisture-aware products on older plaster. The right base for the surface.
The right product for the surface: premium washable paint on walls and trim, UV-rated stain on decks and fences. Applied in the number of coats and dry times the job calls for. No one-coat shortcuts, no rushed cure times.
Drop cloths out, hardware reinstalled, debris gone. We tidy the worksite before we leave each day and clear out completely at the end. The only thing that changed is the finish.
We walk every surface with you before the job closes. If anything needs attention, we address it then, not later. That's what the 100% fix-it-free promise actually means.

Questions Fort McCoy homeowners ask us before a painting project.
The best stretch for exterior painting in Fort McCoy is when the weather is warm and dry enough for paint to cure without fighting rain or heavy humidity. Central Florida runs hot and wet through much of the summer, so mild, drier days give a coating the time it needs to bond and harden. Interior work can happen any time of year, since it's out of the weather. The real key isn't just the calendar, though — it's making sure surfaces are clean, dry and properly prepped before the first coat, because paint applied over damp or dusty walls won't last no matter how nice the day is.
Interior painting in Fort McCoy has to account for humidity, since central Florida's damp air can slow drying and, in kitchens and baths, invite mildew on a poorly prepped surface. Rooms that see steam and moisture do best with a washable, moisture-resistant finish, and any bare or patched spots should be primed before color goes down. Good ventilation while the paint cures helps too. Checking that a surface is dry with a moisture meter before priming is the surest way to know a wall is ready for color.
Absolutely. Both are right in our wheelhouse across the Fort McCoy area. An aged surface and freshly built walls each ask for their own prep and primer, and knowing the difference is what makes a coat hold. Commercial buildings get the same care we give a family's home. Old or new, the aim is a Fort McCoy finish that looks right and holds up.
Fort McCoy has deep roots — its Kerr City Historic District, on the north shore of Lake Kerr about three miles west of SR 19, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 and covers 41 acres with 17 buildings. That privately owned, fenced site is a ghost town rather than a residential neighborhood, but it's a reminder of how far the area's history reaches. Aged wood and plaster take a primer chosen for the surface, so a fresh coat grips instead of lifting.
Yes — standing behind our work is a promise we take seriously in Fort McCoy. We won't wrap up until you've gone through every room and told us you're satisfied. If something isn't right, we'll return and make it right. That's the standard we bring to every home and business in Fort McCoy.
