FREEZ Construction

What FREEZ Construction does

FREEZ Construction, LLC is a privately held, founder-controlled specialty subcontractor headquartered in Little Elm, Texas, with a regional office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company focuses exclusively on controlled environment construction, serving general contractors building cold storage warehouses, automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), food processing facilities, and food service/retail distribution centers across the continental United States, excluding New York. It is not a general contractor and does not perform roofing; its scope terminates at the underside of the metal decking. Founder Vince Free is the past chairman of the Board of the Controlled Environment Building Association (CEBA), and the company is designated a CEBA CorePartner.

The company's core technical capability is insulated metal panel (IMP) installation for thermal envelopes capable of sustaining temperatures as low as -10°F, supplemented by under-floor insulation, cold storage and high-speed doors, thermally broken windows, truck dock canopies, column isolation blocks, thermal repair work, and construction consulting. Its principal proprietary innovation is the in-house "FREEZ Custom Stack Joint Detail," an IMP installation method documented to deliver zero-leak thermal sealing in demanding applications such as 135-foot-tall ASRS facilities with tight clearance constraints. The firm works with all four leading panel manufacturers (All-Weather, Metl-Span/TrueCore, Kingspan, and Greenspan), preserving optionality on supply.

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven subcontracting with general contractors on a one-time project basis, with standard panel lead times of 4-6 weeks and 10-12 weeks for custom colors or thicker gauges. Pricing is consistent nationwide regardless of project location. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct inquiry through the company website and email ([email protected]), industry networking, and CEBA trade shows. The firm maintains a multi-channel digital presence (website, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter/X) and an active recruiting portal, but no disclosed headcount, revenue figures, funding events, or institutional investors appear in the available evidence.
