Freestone Custom Decks
Freestone Custom Decks
Built to Last. Built to Impress.
Why Most Decks Fail Early
Cheap decks hide expensive problems
Most homeowners discover structural problems only after the damage is done. By then, repairs cost more than building it right the first time.
Green or low-grade lumber warps, twists, and rots within a few years
Improper fasteners corrode and lose grip, creating safety hazards
No joist tape means water pools and destroys the substructure
Deck boards that look great at install fail within a season
The low bid often becomes the most expensive decision a homeowner makes.
The Freestone Structural Advantage
KDAT ProFrame lumber and hand-picked materials
Freestone starts every build with KDAT (Kiln-Dried After Treatment) ProFrame lumber, the highest-grade pressure-treated framing available.
KDAT lumber is dried after chemical treatment, so it arrives straight and stable
Every piece of framing lumber is hand-selected on delivery, warped or twisted boards are rejected
Straighter framing means a level deck surface and a better-looking finished product
Superior structure is the foundation everything else is built on
Fastened for Decades, Not Years
Structural fasteners and proper hardware connections
Freestone uses FastenMaster or Simpson structural fasteners and code-compliant hangers throughout every build. These aren't cosmetic choices. They are structural safeguards.
Structural screws replace standard nails, eliminating pull-out and shear failure
Proper joist hangers and post bases are installed at every connection point
Corrosion-resistant hardware rated for outdoor exposure and treated lumber
Every connection engineered to meet or exceed local building codes
A deck is only as strong as its weakest connection. Freestone doesn't have weak connections.
Waterproofing From the Inside Out
Joist tape and TrexPro decking standards
Water is the number-one enemy of a deck's substructure. Freestone applies joist tape to every framing member before decking, and installs composite boards to TrexPro standards.
Joist tape seals the top edge of every joist, preventing water infiltration and rot
Composite decking is installed to Trex's certified contractor (TrexPro) specifications
Correct spacing, gapping, and fastening ensures long-term performance and warranty coverage
Hidden fasteners and Cortex plugs deliver a clean, nail-free surface finish
Freestone vs. the Average Builder
The details that separate a great deck from a costly one
KDAT ProFrame framing vs. standard wet PT lumber
Hand-selected boards vs. whatever arrives on the truck
Structural screws and certified hangers vs. basic nails
Joist tape on every member vs. no water protection
TrexPro installation standards vs. manufacturer spec ignored
Hidden fasteners and Cortex plugs vs. exposed screw heads
Every line item here is something most builders skip to hit a lower number. Freestone includes them because they define long-term value.
