Don’t Wait for Spring!
By Monica Vanover on October 14, 2025
When it comes to building a new deck, timing is everything. While some homeowners think deck building is strictly a spring activity, savvy New Englanders know that fall is actually the smartest season to start that dream deck project. Getting the new deck installed before the snow arrives so that it’s ready and waiting to be enjoyed as soon as spring returns is the way to go.
If you’re leaning toward fall renovations, Belletetes has you covered. Belletetes, New Englander’s home improvement partner for over a century, is proud to offer all the latest trends in composite decking, none more coveted than Trex Decking, an industry leader in beautiful, durable decking 100% made in the USA. Trex Decking doesn’t need painting, sealing or staining and won’t split, crack, fade or deteriorate, making it the ideal choice for fall renovators anticipating the coming winter.
Cooler Construction Weather. Those sweltering July days when working outside is a true chore? They're a distant memory by October. Fall's mild temperatures create ideal working conditions for contractors and DIYers alike, meaning faster installation times and better attention to detail. Workers aren't rushing to beat the heat, and materials perform at their optimal levels during installation.
Maximum Contractor Availability. Contractors book quickly during spring and summer but fall contractor availability tends to increase. This means you'll have your pick of the best deck builders, often with more flexibility on timing and potentially better pricing as contractors look to fill their fall calendars.
Ready for Spring's First Warm Day. By planning your deck project now, you'll be the envy of the neighborhood when that first 70-degree day hits in spring. While others are just starting to plan their outdoor spaces, you'll already be hosting the season's first barbecue, enjoying wine with friends around your fire or snuggling in your cozy stargazing nook.

This fall, New England homeowners are gravitating toward deck designs that complement the region's stunning autumn landscape while preparing for extended outdoor living seasons.
Warm Earth Tones Rule. The most popular Trex colors mirror New England's natural palette. Island Mist—a cool pebble gray with silver undertones that mimics weathered driftwood—tops the list, while Havana Gold brings caramel and honey hues reminiscent of fall maples. These colors create seamless transitions between your deck and the surrounding landscape, especially beautiful when framed by October's golden foliage. Then marvel in spring as these deck colors make the greens, whites, and yellows of spring pop.
Multi-Functional Zones. Gone are the days of simple, single-purpose decks. Today's New England homeowners want distinct zones for different activities—a dining area for al fresco dining, a cozy fire pit section for crisp evenings, and perhaps a quiet corner for morning coffee while watching the leaves change in fall and birds sing in spring. Trex offers a multi-level approach that maximizes functionality while creating visual interest that evolves with the seasons.
Weather-Ready Features. New England's unpredictable weather demands smart design. More homeowners are choosing covered deck sections and four-season spaces that extend outdoor living well into November and even December. Trex Outdoor deck lighting systems—including recessed stair lights and energy-efficient ambient lighting—become essential as daylight hours shorten, creating safe and inviting spaces for those magical fall evenings. When spring comes, you can extend your evenings until sunset catches up in summer.
As the leaves begin to turn, there's no better time to start planning your ideal outdoor living space. Fall construction means you'll be ready to embrace next year's outdoor season from day one, with a deck designed to complement New England's natural beauty and weather patterns.
