Wallpaper Removal Services in Boise, Idaho

Our Wallpaper Removal and Painting Services

We provide a full range of removal and painting services to accommodate different surfaces, wallpaper types, and property needs.

Residential Wallpaper Removal

Your home deserves clean walls that reflect your vision. We carefully remove wallpaper in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and more—without damaging your drywall or plaster. If the wallpaper has been painted over, we take extra steps by scoring the surface and using steam or specialized removers to break through the paint and loosen the adhesive. Our team adapts to textured or layered materials, using safe and effective methods that protect delicate surfaces and minimize mess. After removal, we inspect and prep the walls for painting, and we’re happy to advise you on paint options that match your updated style.

Commercial Wallpaper Removal

Businesses in Boise rely on us to refresh office spaces, lobbies, and retail areas. We schedule projects at times that won’t disrupt your business operations. Our crew is equipped to handle large walls, high ceilings, and specialty finishes. If you have an outdated wallpaper design or bubbling seams, we remove it efficiently so your walls are ready for repainting or new installations.

Multi-Layered or Old Wallpaper

Removing multiple layers of wallpaper that were installed decades ago requires experience. These walls often hide glue residue, paint mistakes, or uneven surface damage. We assess each section before removal to avoid tearing or gouging the surface. In tough cases, we use steam or specialty solutions to loosen the adhesive. This provides a smooth removal process and a cleaner wall.

Preparation for Painting or Reapplication

After the wallpaper is stripped, your walls may need more than just a coat of paint. Our team thoroughly cleans off any leftover adhesive, patches holes, and sands the surface to smooth out imperfections. If needed, we apply a high-quality primer to seal the wall and ensure the new paint adheres evenly. This extra care helps create a flawless finish that lasts.

Wall Painting and Repair After Removal

After prepping the walls, we use high-quality primers and paint to give your walls a fresh, modern look that lasts a long time. If you want a neutral palette or bold colors, our team can make sure the final result matches your expectations.

Our Wallpaper Removal and Painting Process

When you hire Boise Commercial and Residential Painting for wallpaper removal and painting, we follow a transparent process that gives you high-quality results with minimal disruption to your space.

Step 1 On-Site Assessment & Quote

Our process begins with a walk-through of your home or building. Our technicians examine the wallpaper type, wall surface, adhesive strength, and any visible damage. This process helps us choose the safest and most effective removal method and determine the scope of work. We then send you a detailed quote with clear and transparent pricing.

Step 2 Protect Furniture and Flooring

Before we start, we move or cover your furniture and floors to protect them from moisture or debris. We seal off baseboards, electrical outlets, and trim to prevent water or stripping solution from reaching unwanted areas. Our team aims to focus on cleanliness while working in your space.

Step 3 Moistening and Peeling

We gently moisten wallpaper to loosen the adhesive. Depending on the type of wallpaper and the condition of the wall, we may use steam or an eco-friendly solution. Once it is softened, we carefully peel off the wallpaper in sections to avoid pulling off any drywall or plaster underneath.

Step 4 Adhesive Removal

After the wallpaper is off, we remove any remaining glue. This step is crucial to avoid bubbling paint or uneven finishes later on. We use scrapers and residue-dissolving agents to achieve a clean and smooth surface.

Step 5 Final Cleanup and Surface Repair

Once the wallpaper and glue are entirely removed, we clean the walls and begin patching any surface imperfections. This includes filling holes, smoothing seams, and sanding down rough spots. Your wall will now be prepped and ready for painting, re-wallpapering, or leaving bare with a natural finish.

Kristy A.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Boise commercial paint and I couldn't be happier with the overall experience. I was looking to have the exterior of my house painted and I had shopped around and all bids seemed so high, until I met Toby and Collin. They came to check out the house...asked questions on what we wanted and were very thorough with their inspection. When we got the quote I was shocked and delighted at how reasonable they were!When Elmer and his crew arrived the day of, they were all very professional and so kind...and always happy to chat. They really did go above and beyond and paid close attention to details...such an amazing crew!Toby oversaw the job and was always checking in..or on site...I had a hard time picking colors and he was very patient with me, so much so he let me use his new car to go look at more colors! Outstanding customer service!!Overall I am extremely happy with our choice to go with Boise commercial paint. I will absolutely be recommending them to clients and friends, and will be hiring them again in the future for interior projects.Thank to all the crew, and everyone involved in our project for all your hard work! You truly are appreciated.

Brooke C.

We just had the exterior of our house painted by Paint Boise, and we couldn’t be happier! From start to finish, their communication was great, and they really paid attention to every little detail. The team was professional, friendly, and clearly cared about doing the job right.We were so impressed that we were already recommending them to friends before the job was even finished. Truly a 5-star experience!

Molly H

I am a person who will do small projects on my own but I knew painting the edges would get the best of me in the guest bathroom. So. Many. Edges.When I saw other great reviews and the satisfaction guarantee, I was instantly comfortable with my choice of painters. They kindly worked with my budget, which I greatly appreciated.Toby and Collin did a beautiful job on our guest bathroom! The vibrant peach color sure stands out and they applied it expertly, made sure the touch ups were clean, and let me look over their work before they finished.They took care to keep our home protected and clean with protective draping over the floors and appliances as well as carpet protection just outside the bathroom door. One of them even used a coaster for his coffee thermos without even needing me to ask. True professionalism! They also wore booties over their shoes to keep our carpets free from debris.I felt comfortable with Toby and Collin and really appreciated their friendly demeanors, their joviality, their hard work, their willingness to allow me to point out little spots during the touch-up review (that peach does kind of blind you after a while) and their dedication to their work.If I need help with painting in the future, I’ll be giving them another call! And I’ll be telling all my friends about the wonderful work they did!

Cynthia H.

Definitely recommend, great communication, they were quick to come and give a quote. Always showed up on time and finished the job sooner than expected. We were very pleased with the results.

Ashlee D.

Great company—extremely professional from start to finish. Their pricing was very competitive compared to other quotes I received. I would definitely recommend them and will be using their services again in the future!

Johnny C.

Amazing painting service with professional results. The team was on time, respectful, and very detail-oriented. The walls look smooth, fresh, and beautifully finished. They protected the furniture and cleaned up thoroughly after completing the work. I’m extremely satisfied with the quality and would gladly recommend them.

Angie L.

Had an amazing experience with Boise Commercial & Residential Painting. From the first meeting with Collin, I knew I had made the right choice. Communication was excellent, the team was punctual and polite, and the finished product looks amazing! Collin even helped facilitate communication with an additional vendor, after a small issue was discovered during the prep process. I highly recommend you give them a call - you won’t be disappointed!

Leah B.

I cannot say enough good things about Collin and his team. We wanted to repaint our cabinets but could not find anything within budget. He worked with us to keep the service within our desired price range (the cheapest we could find in the Treasure Valley by far.) His team was respectful and efficient, and did a great job on our cabinets, trim, and a tricky wall that required painting around a fireplace.They even replaced the cabinet hinges and hardware for us, and when they noticed that the new hinges I ordered had created a small gap between the cabinet doors, they went out of their way to adjust the placement, patch the holes, etc. Then they came back a few weeks later to touch up a couple spots that needed to be sanded down.They have gone above and beyond for an extremely reasonable price and we will be calling them for all future paint projects!

Shawn S.

I had an excellent experience with Boise Paint! From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They took the time to answer all my questions, offered great recommendations on colors and finishes, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. The quality of their work is top-notch, and you can tell they truly care about customer satisfaction.If you’re looking for a reliable, detail-oriented, and friendly painting company in Boise, I highly recommend Boise Paint. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and will definitely use them again for future projects!
