Our Services

Our Decking Services

Park Place Construction puts a reliable deck contractor on every project to handle each phase from initial design through the final walkthrough.

Residential Decking

Custom deck design, permitting, framing, and installation are completed using ProWood and standard pressure-treated lumber. Raised, cantilevered, and covered deck styles are popular choices for Shady Side's waterfront and water-view properties.

Deck Railing and Skirting

Park Place Construction installs and repairs wood, composite, and vinyl railings using Trex and Fiberon products that hold up in coastal humidity and salt air. Skirting options include lattice, composite panels, vinyl, and horizontal boards that give every build a clean finished look.

Shaded Structures

Pergolas and Carports

PVC pergolas and custom-built carports deliver shade and outdoor structure without creating long-term maintenance burdens. Every build is proportioned to complement the home and sit comfortably in the yard.

Porches

Park Place Construction builds covered porches, screened porches, three-season rooms, and sunrooms using wood, composite, and PVC. Traditional concrete porch footings and complete enclosures are both standard parts of the offering.

Outdoor Living

Outdoor living projects include pavilions and sheds built for genuine everyday use. From covered entertaining areas to functional backyard storage, every structure is designed to last.

Gazebos

Victorian, Traditional, Modern, Asian-inspired, and Custom Gazebo styles are available, each crafted in wood for warmth and lasting character. The right gazebo gives any outdoor space a natural and inviting center point.

Comprehensive Home Services

Roof Repairs and Siding

Roof repairs and full replacements use asphalt fiberglass shingles, with siding options including vinyl, insulated, and fiber cement. Waterfront exposure demands exterior materials chosen for long-term durability over short-term cost savings.

Window and Door Replacement

Vinyl double-hung, casement, awning, and sliding windows are available alongside exterior door replacements in fiberglass, steel, and glass. Sliding patio doors and French doors create natural flow between interior spaces and the outdoors.

Home Additions

Master suites, family rooms, sunrooms, and deck and patio additions expand what a home can offer without requiring a move. Every addition is matched carefully to the existing structure.

Finished Basements

Unfinished basements become entertainment rooms, man caves, or organized storage areas. Work covers insulation, lighting, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, paint, and flooring tiles throughout.

General Construction

Garage construction, garage additions, and garage upgrades are completed with the consistent quality applied to every Park Place project. More function, built to last.

Materials We Work With

Shady Side’s salt air, bay humidity, and seasonal weather cycles demand materials selected for sustained durability and coastal weather resistance. A dependable deck company sources products that perform in these conditions year after year without constant upkeep.

Outdoor Living in Shady Side

Tidal Creeks and Bay Views Shape This Community

Shady Side sits between the West River and Chesapeake Bay on a narrow peninsula. That geography makes waterfront access and bay breezes a daily part of life for residents here.

Peninsula Pride That Shows in Every Property

Shady Side homeowners invest in their properties with care and long-term thinking. Quality outdoor improvements reflect that mindset and add real lasting value to homes throughout the community.

Waterside Lots That Reward Skilled Craftsmanship

Properties here are often positioned with water views, tight lot lines, or natural grade changes. These are the conditions where a deck builder with genuine expertise turns site challenges into standout results.

More Seasons Outside Means More Value From Every Build

Bay temperatures moderate Shady Side's climate, extending spring and stretching fall well into the year. Covered decks and screened porches turn that seasonal advantage into usable outdoor living space.

A Fun Fact About Shady Side

Shady Side’s maritime roots date to 1865, when Emile Alexander Hartge began building boats in the community. In 1879, the operation moved across the West River to Galesville at Whitestake Point, where Hartge Yacht Yard continues today as one of the Chesapeake Bay’s oldest continuously operating, family-run boatyards.
