Incorporated in 2010, we have more than 15 years of experience helping Colorado homeowners create beautiful, functional spaces for enjoying life outdoors.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Our work includes custom pergolas and shade structures designed to add comfort, architectural interest, and usability to outdoor spaces. Because our expertise extends beyond pergolas to complete outdoor living projects, including custom Trex decks, stamped concrete patios, deck covers, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, fire pits, and sunrooms, we understand how each element of an outdoor space should work together.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Whether a pergola is being added to an existing patio or incorporated into a larger backyard transformation, we approach each project with the overall space in mind. Our experience allows us to consider the home's architecture, layout, sun exposure, entertaining needs, and surrounding outdoor features to create a finished project that feels intentional.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Since 2010, Creative Outdoor Living has remained focused on helping Colorado homeowners spend more time enjoying the outdoors at home.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-col e24-e20 mo-12 mo-13 mo-14\"><span class=\"x-image e24-e21 mo-22\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shadeflexcanopies.com\/coloradosprings\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2026\/09\/ShadeFlex-Pro-CO-Springs-Wood-Structure.webp\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e24-e22 mo-0\" id=\"services\"><div class=\"x-row e24-e23 mo-6 mo-7 mo-8 mo-9 mo-a mo-c mo-g mo-l\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e24-e24 mo-12 mo-13 mo-14 mo-15\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e24-e25 mo-1c mo-1d mo-1g mo-1h\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Services by Creative Outdoor Living <\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-row e24-e26 mo-6 mo-7 mo-8 mo-9 mo-a mo-c mo-g mo-m\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e24-e27 mo-12 mo-13 mo-14\"><span class=\"x-image e24-e28 mo-22\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shadeflexcanopies.com\/coloradosprings\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2026\/09\/ShadeFlex-Pro-CO-Springs-Wooden-Deck.webp\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"x-col e24-e29 mo-y mo-z mo-11 mo-12 mo-13 mo-14 mo-18\"><div class=\"x-text x-content e24-e30 mo-1p mo-1q mo-1r mo-1u mo-1w mo-1x\"><p>Adding quality outdoor spaces requires unique skills that differ between home and business.

You want an addition that looks like it belongs with your home and enhances the way you use your outdoor space. Creative Outdoor Living brings more than 15 years of outdoor construction experience to every project.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Unlike a company focused solely on a single product, our team understands the full scope of the outdoor living environment. We build custom Trex decks, stamped concrete patios, deck covers, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, fire pits, sunrooms, and pergolas. That broader experience helps us evaluate how your pergola will integrate with your patio or deck, complement your home, and enhance the overall functionality of your outdoor living area.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As a locally owned Colorado Springs company, we're proud to serve the many military families and veterans who call our community home, and we offer military and veteran discounts as a small way of showing our appreciation for their service.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">From planning and design through installation, our goal is to provide knowledgeable guidance, quality craftsmanship, and a finished pergola that enhances your home and gives you another reason to enjoy the outdoors.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-col e24-e70 mo-12 mo-13 mo-14\"><span class=\"x-image e24-e71 mo-22\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shadeflexcanopies.com\/coloradosprings\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2026\/09\/ShadeFlex-Pro-CO-Springs-Driveway.webp\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e24-e72 mo-0\" id=\"reviews\"><div class=\"x-row e24-e73 mo-6 mo-7 mo-8 mo-9 mo-a mo-c mo-g mo-t\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e24-e74 mo-12 mo-13 mo-14 mo-15\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e24-e75 mo-1c mo-1d mo-1e mo-1h\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">What Customers Are Saying<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-content e24-e76 mo-1q mo-1t mo-1u mo-1v mo-1z mo-20\"><p><link data-noptimize=\"1\" data-no-optimize=\"1\" data-no-minify=\"1\" data-no-defer=\"1\" rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/shadeflexcanopies.com\/coloradosprings\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/trustindex-google-widget.css?1790081676\" media=\"all\"><pre class=\"ti-widget\"><div style=\"opacity: 0;height: 0 !important;overflow: hidden !important\" data-css-url=\"https:\/\/shadeflexcanopies.com\/coloradosprings\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/trustindex-google-widget.css?1790081676\" class=\" ti-widget  ti-goog ti-review-text-mode-readmore ti-text-align-left\" data-no-translation=\"true\" data-time-locale=\"%d %s ago|today|day|days|week|weeks|month|months|year|years\" data-plugin-version=\"14.1.1\" data-layout-id=\"15\" data-layout-category=\"slider\" data-set-id=\"light-minimal\" data-pid=\"wp-widget\" data-language=\"en\" data-close-locale=\"Close\" data-review-target-width=\"300\" data-css-version=\"2\" data-reply-by-locale=\"Owner&apos;s reply\" data-only-rating-locale=\"This user only left a rating.\" data-pager-autoplay-timeout=\"6\"> <div class=\"ti-widget-container ti-col-3\"> <div class=\"ti-reviews-container\"> <div class=\"ti-controls\"> <div class=\"ti-next\" aria-label=\"Next review\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"><\/div> <div class=\"ti-prev\" aria-label=\"Previous review\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"><\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-reviews-container-wrapper\">  <div data-empty=\"0\" data-time=\"1787097600\" class=\"ti-review-item source-Google ti-image-layout-thumbnail\" data-id=\"cfcd208495d565ef66e7dff9f98764da\" data-language=\"\"> <div class=\"ti-inner\"> <div class=\"ti-review-content\"> <span class=\"ti-stars\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 1\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 2\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 3\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 4\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 5\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><span class=\"ti-verified-review ti-verified-platform\"><span class=\"ti-verified-tooltip\">Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <div class=\"ti-review-text-container ti-review-text\"><!-- R-CONTENT -->Patrick with COL is a skilled and precise craftsman.

His engineering and design also provided capabilities of future improvements.  The roof COL installed appears like it was part of our original home.

Patrick provided a detailed and comprehensive bid that included all the work to be done. Although we did not have detailed drawing to go over, I can tell you that it was planned out down to the precise materials list and the drawing provided to the City for getting the permits must have been excellent from an engineering perspective, because we passed all the building inspections (about 5 or 6) the first time without exceptions. ( I included a picture of the facing of the house and how it looked before the roof line was extended out 14 feet so you could appreciate how tricky it was to structurally tie this new roof into the house and make it look like an original design) There were about 4 changes that we decided on that added about 4% to the total cost of our project.  One of those changes was to opt for LVL (structural lumber) because of its superiority over the usual treated lumber used in decking joists. One of the other changes was added lighting and another was some additional stucco work on the west side of the house. The subcontractors that C.O.L. used for electrical and stucco, have a history with Patrick and they are reliable and do excellent work. He is on the job site every day and supervises every detail. When there were options for how something could be done, I was asked and got the opportunity to weigh in on the decision. I was really pleased how I was able to participate in the decision process. There were some details that I took care of myself, like a new concrete landing and walkway, a new pad by the walk-out basement and relocating sprinkler pipe and wiring that was going to be in the way of the piers.  They always say the devil is in the details and if some things are missed or not thought out in advance, it will be a cost over-run. Patrick is great to work with because he is good about anticipating what has to be done in his initial bid. He is not a contractor who will give you a low-ball estimate to get the job and then try to add in changes later. I based my choice of this contractor on being able to see some of his previous jobs and seeing his work for my next door neighbor, all of which was excellent. I have no problem being a referral site for C.O.L. and would give Patrick the highest recommendation. He did a beautiful job for us!<!-- R-CONTENT --><\/div> <span class=\"ti-read-more\" data-container=\".ti-review-text\" data-collapse-text=\"Hide\" data-open-text=\"Read more\"><\/span> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-platform-icon ti-with-tooltip\"> <span class=\"ti-tooltip\">Posted on Google<\/span> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/icon.svg\" alt=\"Google\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-review-header\"> <div class=\"ti-profile-img\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a-\/ALV-UjUMcKGLThwgEIXPSKic4l_aITOdXLz2Xa4WEcFOW8LS8K1__Hc=w40-h40-c-rp-mo-br100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a-\/ALV-UjUMcKGLThwgEIXPSKic4l_aITOdXLz2Xa4WEcFOW8LS8K1__Hc=w80-h80-c-rp-mo-br100 2x\" alt=\"Ron Toman profile picture\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-profile-details\"> <div class=\"ti-name\"> Ron Toman <\/div> <div class=\"ti-date\"><\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>  <div data-empty=\"0\" data-time=\"1644796800\" class=\"ti-review-item source-Google ti-image-layout-thumbnail\" data-id=\"cfcd208495d565ef66e7dff9f98764da\" data-language=\"\"> <div class=\"ti-inner\"> <div class=\"ti-review-content\"> <span class=\"ti-stars\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 1\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/e.svg\" alt=\"Google star 2\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/e.svg\" alt=\"Google star 3\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/e.svg\" alt=\"Google star 4\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/e.svg\" alt=\"Google star 5\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><span class=\"ti-verified-review ti-verified-platform\"><span class=\"ti-verified-tooltip\">Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <div class=\"ti-review-text-container ti-review-text\"><!-- R-CONTENT -->Poor customer service and unprofessional<!-- R-CONTENT --><\/div> <span class=\"ti-read-more\" data-container=\".ti-review-text\" data-collapse-text=\"Hide\" data-open-text=\"Read more\"><\/span> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-platform-icon ti-with-tooltip\"> <span class=\"ti-tooltip\">Posted on Google<\/span> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/icon.svg\" alt=\"Google\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-review-header\"> <div class=\"ti-profile-img\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocLQcnr4M5E9dhnnSzs0InkWIWjySeh_pBgh0znXfyIh_xejpw=w40-h40-c-rp-mo-ba12-br100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocLQcnr4M5E9dhnnSzs0InkWIWjySeh_pBgh0znXfyIh_xejpw=w80-h80-c-rp-mo-ba12-br100 2x\" alt=\"Dan Johnson profile picture\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-profile-details\"> <div class=\"ti-name\"> Dan Johnson <\/div> <div class=\"ti-date\"><\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>  <\/div> <div class=\"ti-controls-line\"> <div class=\"dot\"><\/div> <\/div> <\/div>    <\/div> <\/div> <\/pre><script>\n(function () { if (window.tiLoaderFallback) { return;
