Here at Bug Away Exterminating and Termite Control Co., we spend a lot of time in and around homes across Delaware County, Chester County, and the surrounding communities. We know these neighborhoods well, and we know how much homeowners depend on finding local professionals they can genuinely trust. That is why we want to take a moment to introduce our neighbors over at Canopy Building Services, a general contractor that we believe deserves a serious look from anyone planning a renovation or home improvement project in our region.
Nearly 30 Years of Hands-On Regional Experience
Canopy Building Services was founded by Chris Earley, and his background alone sets this company apart from the competition. Chris has been working in construction since 1997, starting out as a project engineer and construction manager for large commercial and residential building companies. That means he brings close to 30 years of hands-on experience to every project his team takes on.
But what really makes Chris different is how deeply connected he is to this specific region. He is not someone who learned the trade in another state and relocated here. He has been building, inspecting, and repairing homes across southeastern Pennsylvania for decades. He understands firsthand how brutal our local climate can be on a home's exterior, particularly the roofs. As Chris put it directly, Pennsylvania's weather, from summer storms to winter freeze-thaw cycles, can really beat up roofs in this area. That kind of insight only comes from years of working in these exact conditions.
A Diagnostic Advantage That Most Contractors Simply Do Not Have
In 2007, Chris founded Liberty Inspection Group, a home inspection company that he still runs today alongside Canopy Building Services. This is where things get really interesting for homeowners. Running a professional inspection company for nearly two decades gave Chris an unmatched diagnostic view of the local housing stock. He has been inside aging Main Line homes, shore properties down in South Jersey, and everything in between across Philadelphia County, parts of Montgomery County, and our own Delaware and Chester County communities.
When Chris and his inspection team kept finding serious problems in homes, they also kept running into the same frustrating obstacle: there were not enough reliable contractors around to actually fix those problems well. Too many contractors were, in his words, fly-by-night outfits that were unreliable, inconsistent, and quick to cut corners. That gap in the market is exactly what led Chris to launch Canopy Building Services in 2022.
Because Chris has spent so many years inspecting homes from the inside out, he approaches every renovation with a level of diagnostic awareness that most contractors simply do not have. He already knows what tends to go wrong in homes built in this region, and he plans accordingly.
A Full Range of Services Built Around Local Needs
Canopy Building Services handles a wide range of projects for homeowners throughout the tri-state area. Their services include home additions and room additions, in-law suite additions, second story additions, kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, basement finishing and refinishing, deck building and deck replacement, and roofing services covering both asphalt shingle and flat roof installation. They also offer property maintenance plans for homeowners and landlords who want to stay ahead of issues before they become costly repairs.
Chris and his team work primarily with middle-class to upper-middle-class homeowners who value quality and communication above all else. Many of their clients own primary residences here in the counties we all call home, and some also have vacation properties along the Jersey shore. What these clients share is a desire for a contractor who shows up on time, keeps them informed throughout the project, and delivers results they are proud of.
It is worth mentioning that Canopy was recently named Best Contractor 2025 by the Mainline Times and Suburban Magazine in a reader's choice vote. That recognition did not come from a marketing campaign. It came from real neighbors in this community who experienced Canopy's work firsthand and wanted others to know about it.
