Treasure Valley's intense summers and dry winters break down door finishes faster than most homeowners expect, leaving entry doors chalky, patio doors faded, and garage doors prone to cracking within a handful of seasons. Five Star Painting of Boise handles door staining, painting, and refinishing for wood, steel, and fiberglass doors. As trusted Boise painters, our team strips failing finish down to bare wood, treats sun-damaged panels, and rebuilds a smooth, factory-like finish built for real Idaho weather. Whether one entry door needs a color change or a full set of French doors needs stripping and restaining, both start with an honest read of what's under the old coat.

Why Boise Homeowners Choose Five Star Painting
Five Star Painting of Boise has served the Treasure Valley since 2017, and our crews average 25 years of combined painting and staining experience. That background matters on a door refinishing job, where a rushed sanding pass or the wrong primer on a steel door can peel within a season. We bring that same attention to cabinet painting and cabinet refinishing for homeowners updating a kitchen alongside their front entry.
Crews cover Eagle, Meridian, and Star, including custom communities like The Preserve. Ready for a door that looks new again? Schedule an appointment with Five Star Painting of Boise.

Expert Door Staining and Door Refinishing: Boise, ID
Door refinishing starts with removing hardware and locking mechanisms, taping off glass lites, and protecting any obscure or tinted glass before a single tool touches the wood. Doors that still hold their shape get chemical stripping or careful sanding to remove old paint and expose the natural wood underneath, while doors with rot or split trim get flagged for repair before refinishing continues. A wood cleanser removes years of grime, sun-baked wax, and mildew from entry doors, Dutch doors, and gliding patio doors alike, opening the wood's pores so new stain or primer actually bonds. South- and west-facing doors fade fastest under Idaho's harsh sun, especially dark stains and factory paint that wasn't built for this much UV.
For wood doors staying natural, we match the wood profile and grain to a stain, from a dark wiping stain to a lighter tone, then seal it with a UV-stable clear finish that resists the fading Boise's direct sun causes on unprotected doors. Steel doors get sanded, primed against rust, and finished in a satin finish that hides brush marks and holds color longer than a flat sheen. Hinged doors, gliding doors, and Dutch doors with split top and bottom panels all get the same attention to door components like panels, rails, and stiles, so the finish reads as one continuous surface instead of a patchwork.
French doors, patio doors, and standard entry doors from most door manufacturers respond well to this process regardless of style, and we extend the same prep and UV-protective topcoat to surrounding wood trim, fiber cement siding, and door frames so the entryway doesn't look patched. Interior doors get the same masking care around hardware and glass, plus drywall repair around hinges and strike plates where an old door has worn down the jamb.

Would give more stars if possible! Five Star completed full exterior and interior painting of our home. Fair pricing, timely in every aspect... communication and arrival times, color expert to help choose your perfect colors, meticulous neatness, extremely respectful of home, amazing work, and everyone was a pleasure to work with. I have pictures but they just don't do the work justice. Highly recommend without reservation.

Used them for the first time, very happy! The person who gave us a quote was very thorough. They painted our deck in September and did a perfect job plus showed respect for our property. I like the way a project manager came the day before, we met with him and the painting team and then he came back after the job was done to inspect it and make sure we were fully satisfied before paying. In January they came and did interior painting and I was also great! There was a few areas in the bathroom we needed touched up and the project manager came the next day and took care of it for us. I’ve been very happy with the whole process and recommend them highly!

Five star painting did two colors on the entire exterior of my house. Not only Did they do an exemplary job of painting, but they were very careful with our sidewalks plants and borders. They showed up on Time every day, and worked diligently, efficiently, and quietly. My wife and I would recommend them for any of your painting needs.

Picking Harmonious Wall Color and Floor Combinations

Ultimately, selecting the right wall color to compliment your floor will depend on the style of the room, its purpose and function, and your existing furniture and décor.

Can You Paint Pressure-Treated Wood?
Although you can paint pressure-treated wood, stain will usually adhere better than paint does. The primary reason is that the preservatives in pressure-treated wood make it harder for the paint to bond to the wooden surface. But don’t worry, it’s still possible to paint your deck or fence if you take the proper precautions.
Keep in mind that wood that has been pressure-treated needs to be completely dry so it can absorb the paint or stain.
For a long-lasting and great-looking finish, first evaluate the wood’s moisture content, then apply the correct stain or primer and paint.
