About

Stephen Earley is the co-founder and visionary force behind Academy Builders, a high-end residential construction company known for craftsmanship, innovation, and uncompromising client care. With a builder’s mindset and an entrepreneur’s drive, Stephen has helped shape Academy Builders into a vertically integrated firm capable of managing complex custom homes, renovations, cabinetry, and specialty projects from concept through completion. From the beginning, Stephen saw an opportunity to rethink how luxury residential projects are delivered; emphasizing transparency, proactive communication, and deep collaboration between architects, craftsmen, and homeowners. Under his leadership, Academy Builders has expanded from a small shop to a growing, multi-division operation powered by talented teams of project managers, carpenters, installers, painters, and cabinet makers. Stephen oversees sales, business development, and the company’s in-house cabinetry and millwork operations, ensuring every detail reflects Academy’s standard of quality. He is passionate about systems, process, and building a culture where craftsmanship and professionalism go hand-in-hand. Beyond day-to-day operations, Stephen continually pushes Academy Builders toward what’s next, exploring new opportunities and partnerships that leverage the firm’s construction expertise. Driven, hands-on, and deeply committed to his clients and team, Stephen’s vision is simple: build beautiful spaces, build strong relationships, and build a company that lasts.
