Your Local Experts in Architectural Design, Installation & Finishing
FoamTec is the premier provider of architectural foam solutions in Reno and Northern Nevada. We bring custom design, professional installation, and artisanal finishing to every project, helping you capture the distinctive spirit of the region. From the modern mountain aesthetic of Montrêux to the rustic charm of Galena Forest and the classic ranch homes of Washoe Valley, we understand the local architectural language.
More importantly, we understand the Reno climate. Our products are engineered to perform flawlessly through four distinct seasons—from the intense high-desert sun and summer heat to freezing winter temperatures and heavy snow loads. We create lightweight, durable architectural elements that provide the stunning look of heavy timber and stone without the risk of warping, cracking, or fading. Whether you're building a new custom home, renovating a commercial space, or enhancing a casino resort, FoamTec delivers unparalleled quality and durability.
Our Core Services in Reno
We offer a complete, end-to-end service, guiding your project from a simple idea to a perfectly finished installation. We are your partners in design and construction.
Architectural Design & Fabrication
It all starts with a vision. Our design team collaborates with architects, builders, and homeowners to craft custom architectural foam elements tailored to your project's style and scale. Using state-of-the-art technology, we fabricate precise foam cores coated in a robust, weather-resistant finish.
- Custom Profiles: Trusses, corbels, moldings, and decorative accents.
- Faux Wood: Hyper-realistic beams and rafter tails that mimic aged cedar and pine.
- Local Focus: Designs that complement natural stone, wood siding, and stucco..
Professional Installation
A perfect product requires a perfect installation. Our expert crews are trained to install every element securely and seamlessly, ensuring it withstands Northern Nevada’s wind and weather. We manage the logistics of working on challenging mountain sites and complex structures, all while maintaining a clean and efficient job site.
- Secure Mounting: Engineered for safety in high-wind and snow-load areas.
- Seamless Integration: Masterful concealment of joints and fasteners.
- Climate-Ready: Techniques that accommodate temperature fluctuations.
Color Complimenting
The finish is what brings the design to life. Our color complimenting service ensures your new architectural features blend harmoniously with your property's existing elements. We go beyond "matching" by creating custom stains and finishes that enhance the natural beauty of your home’s wood, stone, and color palette.
- Custom Staining: Authentic wood-look finishes for faux beams and trusses.
- UV Protection: Premium coatings to prevent fading in the high-altitude sun.
- Artistic Blending: Finishes that harmonize with existing architectural tones.
