Sherando Lake Recreation Area – Lyndhurst, VA

Romtec has had a long relationship with the United States Forest Service (USFS), having supplied numerous buildings across the nation for many parks and recreation areas. Therefore, the USFS came to Romtec again with the desire for a combination restroom and shower building for Sherando Lake.

Located in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests in Virginia, the Sherando Lake Recreation area is a lakeside camping site with numerous activities for visitors to enjoy. The Lake features hiking trails and fishing for active outdoor activities, and picnicking in shaded areas or even on the sandy beaches. On hot days, visitors can take a dip in the lake and enjoy the refreshing cool water.

For this project, the USFS purchased a combination bathroom/shower house, divided into a side for men, a side for women, and a mechanical room in between. Mechanical rooms are often used for storage and for easy access to the utilities for maintenance, but in this case the mechanical room also houses a water heater for warm showers and a mop sink to easily clean up messes. Each restroom features multiple restroom stalls and two shower stalls, one of which follows the American Disability Act (ADA) guidelines, allowing for maneuvering space in the shower stall for those with disabilities.

The building itself is composed of smooth-face gray block with a Cedar Board and Batten siding and a stone veneer wainscot. All of the doors, door frames, kick proof wall vents, and gable vents are a powder-coat finish for a sleek look and durability. Inside the restroom are high-efficiency china toilets separated into individual stalls by phenolic partitions.

The Sherando Lake Recreation Area is full of natural beauty and wonder, and is truly an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the city. With the addition of this restroom, visitors can experience the great outdoors while still enjoying the convenience of a functioning restroom and shower. The United States Forest Service has further enabled visitors of all types and abilities to enjoy Sherando Lake with the installment of a Romtec restroom/shower building.

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.
