Rest Area on Interstate 40 – New Mexico

Interstate 40 in New Mexico is a major highway that passes east and west through the state into Arizona and Texas. This major interstate highway passes through the major city Albuquerque and continues to Santa Rosa to the east.

Interstate 40 leads to Amarillo, Texas and eventually to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Albuquerque is the biggest city in New Mexico and is the high desert. There are many attractions in this area including the Albuquerque Museum, Sandia Peak Tramway, Petroglyph National Monument, and the ABQ BioPark Zoo.

In between these two locations along I-40 between Albuquerque and Santa Rosa, New Mexico sits this adobe themed rest area. There are many reasons why a specific “look” is needed for a building, but it is not always easy to get an affordable building with the necessary aesthetic options. With Romtec, matching themes and architectural aesthetics is our specialty.

Romtec designed this New Mexico Department of Transportation restroom with red stucco that matched nearby adobe structures and stone wainscoting that matched planters and path walls.

The stucco exterior is a terrific option for restrooms and other buildings because it is easy to maintain, adds style, the material resists severe weather and moisture incursion, and it also resists large temperature changes.

This public restroom also included tile floors that looked like paving stones to maintain the Southwestern motif. This regional restroom building provides tourists with continued exposure to the charm of the American Southwest.

The high desert in New Mexico can create some extreme heat and therefore stucco was a great option for this rest area restroom building. Romtec worked to create a restroom that would fit into the aesthetic of this location and match other similar buildings but also showcased the southwest features of this New Mexico rest stop.

Creating an inviting restroom building that highlights the area and is easily maintainable are features of a Romtec restroom building. If you have a need for a new rest area restroom, contact us today!

We had an awesome experience with Romtec and were very pleased (especially) about the communication that was given to us. The project went by very smoothly and we are now off to our next adventures. The finished product was everything and more that was promised by Romtec.

That Memorial Park Project is one of our favorites too – it truly made a positive impact for our visitors, and we will continue to keep Romtec in mind as opportunities to collaborate come up!

I have to mention that aside from the products Romtec supplies and the workmanship of the subcontractors (Ken and crew), I’m also very impressed with your responsiveness to issues – you’re a far cry from the usual taillight warranty.

You get what you pay for. Romtec provided the most perfect, seamless, flawless project I could have imagined. I would use Romtec 100 times over and will not consider any other options moving forward. You were able to beat my original budget and expectations. Everyone involved was great from sales to construction management, to the construction team themselves.

I was actually out today looking at the baseball park and your building is absolutely awesome.  Our buddy and all star baseball families are going to love it!

We were very impressed with Romtec on this project. The entire team was professional, forward thinking, wiling to collaborate and compromise, and the structure turned out beautiful. We definitely got what we paid for (and then some!).

Ken Perry’s crew who installed it did a fantastic job, very organized and professional, and efficient install.

If I were to do this again, I would no doubt hire Romtec and its subcontractors to do the installation. Hindsight is always 20/20 and I learned a valuable lesson that I will hire Romtec’s certified installers to do the construction.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Dan Keagy (Romtec’s assistant construction manager). He in my opinion went above and beyond to solve our problems and problems that were not necessarily his or Romtec’s to solve. He is a great guy and great resource for Romtec. Overall, the biggest thing to me was the service after the sale. Romtec didn’t just make the sale and move on, but they supported us through a very long and arduous construction process.

Romtec was phenomenal when it came to service after the sale. They were available anytime there were questions. In addition, there were some issues with missing materials. Even though it was not Romtec’s fault for the missing materials, the were more than willing to send us the missing materials to get the project done. Romtec even sent out a representative to tour the site to give firsthand recommendations on how to proceed.
