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 If you have an outdated wallpaper design or bubbling seams, we remove it efficiently so your walls are ready for repainting or new installations.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.

Every exterior surface (front door, garage door, patio door, body, eaves, soffits, planter boxes, window casings, window aprons, corbels, fascia, chimney cap, and house numbers) of my home was in need of repainting. I submitted Requests for Proposals inclusive of a detailed Scope of Work to nine (9) painting contractors.After my initial contact with and subsequent on-site meeting with Collin Millis of Paint Boise to discuss my home exterior repaint project, I knew Colling Millis and Paint Boise would deliver a finished project which met their and my high standards.Two characteristics of Paint Boise which places their organization above their competition are the fact that there is no deposit required and there is no request for payment until you are completely satisfied with their results. How confident in their work can you get as a homeowner?!From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The commitment to craftsmanship, professionalism and clear communication was evident every single day leading up to the commencement of the project and every day throughout the project. The transformation is incredible! My home looks brand new with clean lines, smooth finishes, and perfectly even color across every surface.Collin was on-site every day, personally checked in with me throughout the job, ensured everything stayed on schedule, and made sure the final result met his and my extremely high standards.Collin's team:--was punctual, worked efficiently, and treated my property with real care--power‑washed, scraped, sanded, repaired, caulked, and primed with precision. The foundation of the job was done right, and it shows.--protected landscaping, walkways, windows, and fixtures up to and including the same elements of my neighbors property.

Janet J.

I used 16 colors on my inside walls — all clean lines where colors meet, painted switch plates/socket covers to match background (even painted covers for all-house vacumn system)Well managed, professional, quality checks and emphasis on complete customer satisfaction.Recommended without reservation. Hard to imagine there is a better choice.

Howard F.

I obtained bids from 6 painting contractors last fall (2025) to paint our stucco home including fascia, garage doors, and stain the wood pergola over the double garage door. It was a big project and I sweated all winter giving the go ahead to Collin at Boise Commercial and Residential Painting to begin in May '26. NO down payment, no cancelation penalty, and no payment until satisfied. Incredible! A man of his word, Collin met every expectation. His crew were excellent, motivated, polite and responsive. My wife and I could not have been more pleased with the end product and great service and communication Collin provided throughout the project. Why did I sweat this contract all winter when Collin made the whole project painless. My recommendation...if you are looking for a painting contractor...speak to Collin. 100% thumbs up. H

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!
