A family business

The best room in the house might be the one out back

Creekside Coverings is a family-owned outdoor living builder in Delaware, Ohio, established in 2022. Shawn brings more than 20 years of carpentry to every project. He hand-selects the materials, delivers them himself and is on site for every job we build.

That is why our reviews keep coming back to the same things: clear communication from the estimate to the final walkthrough, crews who clean up at the end of the day, and spaces families plan to use for years.

What we build

Outdoor living, built around the way you actually use your yard

Every project starts with how you want to spend the evening: cooking for a crowd, reading out of the sun, or sitting by a fire after the kids are asleep. Then we build the structure that makes it happen.

Inside the house, too

Shawn's carpentry comes indoors for custom media walls, electric fireplaces, stone veneer and fireplace resurfacing, shiplap and board and batten, custom trim and woodwork, basement finishing and custom bars, mudroom built-ins and live edge bar tops.

Smart louvered pergolas

Open to the sun at noon, closed to the rain by two

A smart pergola can include motorized louvers you tilt with a remote, an app or your voice assistant, plus a rain sensor that closes the roof on its own, dimmable LED lighting, heaters or fans, and MagnaTrack screens that roll down when the bugs come out.

  • Motorized louvers for sun, shade and airflow
  • Rain and wind sensors that adjust on their own
  • Built-in LED lighting you can dim from your phone
  • Retractable screens for bug-free evenings

Smart pergolas and motorized screens are covered by the manufacturer's warranty, on top of our 5-year workmanship warranty.

How it works

From the first walk around your yard to the final sweep

Most screened porches take one to two weeks to build. Larger projects like all-season rooms run four to six weeks. Permit approval is the biggest variable, and Shawn gives you a timeline at the first walkthrough.

    Walk the yard with Shawn

    Shawn comes out, looks at the house and the space, and talks through how you want to use it. You deal with the owner from the first visit.

  2. 02

    See it before we build

    We draw your project in 1D, 2D or 3D, so you can judge the size, roofline and finishes on your own house before any posts go in.

  3. 03

    Permits and HOA, handled with you

    We help with the permit application and your HOA approval package, and we schedule the inspections.

    Built by the owner’s crew

    Shawn hand-selects the materials, delivers them himself and is on site for every job. The work is covered by our 5-year workmanship warranty.

A first rate company that does top notch work. The crew was hard-working and well mannered. The fit and finish of the product was outstanding. They arrived on time and finished ahead of schedule. At the end of each day, the job site was straightened up and clean.

Greg Z.April 2025

The owner, Shawn is awesome to work with. He provided great communication from the estimate to the project and completion. Him and his team were always professional with excellent craftsmanship. Thank you shawn and your team for creating an amazing gazebo that my family will use for years. We love it!!!!

Kim B. · GazeboJune 2026

We had a fantastic experience using Creekside Coverings for the design and construction of our deck. Shawn and his team performed incredible work and more than met our expectations with the finished product. Shawn is a true craftsman, and his team worked as late as needed to complete the job.

Sam B. · DeckAugust 2025

From start to finish his communication was great, his pricing was fair and the craftsmanship excellent. I would definitely recommend Shawn and we already have. We really love the space that was created for us by Creekside. Looking forward to many years of enjoyment.

Scott S.November 2024

Shawn and his crew built a new carport that is beautiful and much safer for my family and I. They did anything and everything I asked of them and stayed well past 7pm to get the job done in a quick two days.

Questions

Good to know before you start

Still wondering about something? Call or text Shawn at (517) 366-1053.

How long does an outdoor living project take?

Most screened porches take one to two weeks. Larger builds like all-season rooms can take four to six weeks. Shawn gives you a timeline at the first walkthrough, and permit approval time is the biggest variable.

Do you handle permits and HOA approval?

Yes. We help with permit applications and HOA approval packages, arrange the inspections and build to local code. Renderings of your project make the HOA review easier.

Can I see the design before you build it?

Yes. We offer 1D, 2D and 3D renderings, so you can see the size, roofline and finishes on your own house before any posts go in the ground.

What warranty comes with the work?

Our workmanship is covered for five years from completion. Materials carry their manufacturer warranties, and smart pergolas and motorized screens are covered by Anchor or MagnaTrack directly. Storm and weather damage is not covered.

Can you add on to a deck or patio I already have?

Yes. We build new from the ground up and we also work with existing structures, like enclosing a deck, adding a pergola to a patio or reworking stairs and landings.

Do you offer any discounts?

Military members and first responders get 10% off. Mention it when you schedule your estimate. It cannot be combined with other offers.
