Ocala and Marion County wear the title Horse Capital of the World with quiet pride.
Ocala doesn't sit still. For two years running it has been the fastest-growing metro area in the country, and yet it has kept hold of its center. Ocala Downtown Square, an octagonal plaza with a historic gazebo, fills with free live music on Friday and Saturday nights from September through May, and the First Friday Art Walk brings the square to life once a month. Come November, Light Up Ocala draws over 100,000 people downtown for the holidays — one of the more than two hundred events promoted across the year. Behind all that stands real history: Ocala's Historic District is among the largest residential historic districts in Florida, with roughly 340 homes and buildings raised between the 1880s and 1930.
Bing's Painting Plus opened in Ocala in 2021 as a Marion County family company, set up to give homeowners a painter who's honest on price, thorough with prep, and ready to return if anything falls short. The work here spans the whole city, from the plaster-walled homes of the older streets to the newer houses going up as Ocala keeps growing. Every home in Ocala is an investment, and the price goes on paper before the first drop cover comes out. We like a town that still gathers downtown on a Friday night, and we're grateful to the families who let us look after their homes.
Interior painting in Ocala ranges from the living rooms of On Top of the World, the city's large 55+ community, to the original plaster walls in its oldest homes. Color changes a room faster than almost anything, but the walls get read and readied first. Bing's Painting Plus paints interiors across Ocala, in its oldest homes and its newest alike.
Exterior painting in Ocala covers ground as varied as the homes themselves. Along East Fort King Street you'll find well-preserved Victorian architecture that rewards careful color and clean lines, while Marion Oaks, southwest of town, has grown with houses built from the 1980s right up to today. Different eras call for different approaches, and matching the finish to each surface is what keeps it looking right.
Cabinet painting in Ocala homes comes down to daily wear: cabinets take a lot of it, so the finish has to cure hard: clean, degreased doors, light sanding and an even sprayed coat make the difference between a fresh kitchen and a sticky one. It's the quickest way to update a kitchen short of a full remodel.
Deck staining in Ocala is about protection as much as good looks. Exposed wood outdoors takes a beating from sun and rain, so a stain that soaks into the grain and sheds water keeps a deck sound through the seasons.
Fence staining fits a place like Ocala, a town built around horse country and close to the 500-acre Florida Horse Park, an official U.S. Equestrian Team training site south of Ocala, inside Marion County. A fence takes sun and rain from every side, so a stain that penetrates the grain protects it better than a film that can crack and peel. The result is a fence that keeps its color instead of graying out.
Commercial painting in Ocala means fitting the finish to the building. Downtown carries landmarks like the Art Deco Marion Theatre, open since 1941, and Ocala Union Station from 1917, a Mediterranean Revival hall with a red tile roof and arched windows. Out at the World Equestrian Center, a large modern venue that hosts world-class competitions, the scale is another matter entirely. Bing's Painting Plus takes on commercial work across Ocala, from historic downtown fronts to modern venues.
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 Ocala homeowners ask us before a painting project.
The drier, milder stretch of the year is the most reliable time to paint outside in Ocala. Florida heat and afternoon humidity can slow drying and affect how a finish cures, so exterior work goes best when the air is calmer and rain is less likely. Interior painting can happen any time of year, since the indoor climate stays steady. The main thing is the surface itself: it has to be clean and dry before the first coat, no matter what the calendar says.
In Ocala, the paint you'll admire in a year is decided by everything that happens before it goes on. The coats you can see only hold up because of the work underneath them: a clean surface, sound caulking and the right primer for each room and material. Indoor work leans on the same groundwork before a roller ever touches a wall. Good materials help, but they can't rescue a wall that wasn't ready for them.
Yes, Bing's Painting Plus backs its interior and exterior painting in Ocala with a three-year warranty, and its cabinet, fence and commercial painting with a one-year warranty. The company is licensed and insured. A job isn't done until you've been through each room and you're happy with it, and if anything needs another look later, they return to make it right. That's the standard the Bing family holds itself to across Marion County.
Older Ocala homes need prep matched to how they were built. In the Historic District you'll find Queen Anne Revival and Victorian houses alongside Craftsman bungalows, many with plaster interiors that behave nothing like modern drywall. Plaster interiors reward moisture-aware prep and patching rather than replacement, and bare or long-painted wood generally holds a fresh finish better over a primer that grips it. Rushing the prep on a home like this is the quickest route to a finish that won't hold.
Painting commercial spaces in Ocala usually comes down to timing the work around how the space is used. Ocala stays active year-round; the World Equestrian Center hosts competitions all through the calendar, and downtown keeps a steady flow of visitors, so storefronts, offices and venues can't simply close for a repaint. The practical answer is sequencing: a repaint goes best in phases, with the areas still in use kept clean and clear and the coating matched to how quickly the space needs to be ready again.
