Wallpaper, millwork, lime wash, micro cement. One family-owned studio, twenty years in the trades, working across Phoenix, Paradise Valley, and Scottsdale.
One wall or the whole house. We help you decide on the finish, do the prep nobody sees, and leave the room cleaner than we found it.
You designed the space. We are the part of the handoff that does not turn into a phone call on Friday afternoon.
Whether you drew the room or simply know how you want it to feel, the same thing decides how it turns out: whether the person on the ladder understood what you were after.
Seams that telegraph. Plaster that reads patchy. Millwork that's a sixteenth off and somehow you can feel it. Crews who show up dusty, leave dustier, and answer texts on Tuesday.
An install you don't trust becomes a phone call you have to make, a Friday you have to give back, a room that never quite settles into finished. The work that should be the best part of the project quietly takes a piece of it instead.
Wallwright Studio is Josh Sheppard and Amber Gastelum, a family-owned installation studio working with the homeowners, designers, and builders shaping the high-design homes of Phoenix, Paradise Valley, and Scottsdale.
We came up on jobsites. Twenty years will teach you what separates a good install from a great one, and that the details nobody photographs, the prep, the primer, the follow-through, are the ones people notice every time they walk past that wall.
We built the studio we would want to hire ourselves.
Most installs require coordinating three or four trades. We do all four ourselves, which means a single point of accountability, a single schedule, and a finish that reads as one continuous piece of work.
Pattern-matched, seam-tight, dustless removal. From hand-blocked grasscloths to wide-width murals, handled like the artwork it is.
Built-ins, trim, paneling, casework. The pieces that read as architecture, installed to the tolerances the architect drew.
A centuries-old mineral finish, matte and layered with depth. It turns a wall into something that feels as intentional as the room around it.
Seamless cementitious finish for walls, floors, vanities, showers. Calibrated for daily use and decade-long beauty.
The last thing anyone needs is a sub who makes the process harder than the project. You will know what is happening, what it costs, and when it will be done, before a single tool comes out.
Reach out by text or phone. We'll get the basics (project, scope, timeline) without a fifty-question intake form.
A thoughtful conversation about the vision, the spec, the substrate, the schedule. Site visit and samples when the project warrants it.
Job walk on the front end if needed. Then we schedule, install, and leave the space ready for the next trade, or for the reveal.
"Wallwright Studio cares about the details, because in our work, the details are the work."
Something shifts when the install stops being the risky part. You stop noticing the wall and start living with it. The room does what you pictured it doing in the first place.
A short call to understand the scope, the timeline, and whether we're the right fit. No intake forms, no pressure, just a conversation between professionals.
