Why TimberTech

Four-sided protection where Missouri moisture can reach the board.

For composite projects, Freedom quotes TimberTech lines capped on all four sides, including the bottom and grooves. Warm, humid air moving beneath a deck can condense on the board’s underside, so the side you cannot see matters in Missouri.

Built around your reason

The part of a composite board you cannot see is exactly why the cap matters.

Composite decking combines polymers with organic wood fibers. The cap is the protective layer around that core. Every TimberTech composite line Freedom quotes is capped on all four sides, including the bottom and grooves, helping isolate the core from moisture, staining, and weather exposure.

Warm, humid air rising beneath a deck can condense on a cooler board underside. Three-sided-capped options such as Trex leave that bottom surface unprotected. If moisture reaches the organic wood fibers in the core, it can create conditions for mold and mildew and contribute to swelling, warping, or twisting. Persistent dampness can also promote mold and mildew on the adjacent wood framing.

The surface is still only one part of the result. Every Freedom TimberTech project is a complete new build or full replacement with framing, connections, stairs, railing, water management, and required inspections handled as one accountable scope.

The material, explained

Composite core. Protective cap. Complete structure underneath.

The core of a composite board contains organic wood flour as well as polymers. The protective cap helps isolate that core from moisture and surface exposure. Freedom chooses the board, fastening, spacing, and structure as one system rather than treating decking like a cosmetic cover.

Freedom’s composite proposal

Four-sided capped TimberTech Composite

This is the practical balance most Freedom homeowners choose: lower surface maintenance, realistic product choices, and four-sided protection on every TimberTech composite line Freedom quotes.

Why it fits:

It delivers the wood-inspired look most people want without requiring the highest-priced material family.

Available by request

Advanced PVC and specialty products

Freedom can quote Advanced PVC or another specialty direction when the project justifies it. It is not our automatic starting point and it is not required to get a professional result.

Our position:

Premium material should solve a real priority—not simply make the package more expensive.

Four sides versus three

Freedom quotes TimberTech composite lines capped on four sides. Three-sided options such as Trex leave the underside uncapped.

No routine staining or sealing

The capped surface is designed for lower maintenance than exterior wood decking.

All decking gets hot

Sun exposure, board color, air temperature, and product all matter. A “cooler” claim does not make a sunlit deck cool.

Collection-specific warranties

Coverage, exclusions, registration, and duration vary. The written warranty for the selected collection controls.

The Freedom difference

We explain the board. You decide where to stop.

Your estimate can compare relevant material and finish choices without assuming you want every premium board, border, fascia, lighting, or railing upgrade.

Project fit

Complete deck work, clearly defined.

Specialization keeps the message honest and the process focused. If you need a complete new build or total replacement, we may be a strong fit. If you need a small repair, we are not.

Questions homeowners ask before getting a bid

Is every TimberTech deck a high-end luxury project?

No. TimberTech offers multiple collections and price points. We help homeowners build a professional composite deck without automatically adding every premium finish option.

How much does a composite deck cost?

Complete projects begin at $15,000, while many composite decks with stairs and railing fall around $25,000 to $30,000. Size, height, layout, railing, and selected collection all affect the final proposal.

Can I skip fascia, picture framing, or lighting?

Yes. Those details can be priced as options where appropriate. You can select what fits your goals and budget instead of accepting a rigid package.

Do you install composite on an existing frame?

No. Freedom does not offer resurfacing. Composite decking is installed as part of a complete new deck or a full tear-down replacement.

Why does four-sided capping matter?

A composite core contains organic wood fiber along with polymers. On a three-sided board, warm, humid air can condense on the unprotected underside. If moisture reaches the core, it can promote mold and mildew and contribute to swelling, warping, or twisting; persistent dampness can also affect adjacent wood framing. Every TimberTech composite line Freedom quotes is capped on all four sides.

Does TimberTech stay cool in direct sun?

No exterior decking stays cool in direct summer sun. Surface temperature varies with color, exposure, air temperature, and product. Some technologies can reduce heat buildup compared with other boards, but homeowners should not expect an unshaded deck to feel cool.

What warranty comes with TimberTech decking?

Coverage depends on the selected collection. Current written manufacturer terms, exclusions, registration requirements, and duration control, so Freedom points homeowners to the exact warranty for the board in the estimate.
