Innovation, craftsmanship, and reliability in every canopy we deliver.
While signs and awnings have long been our core, our passion for design, function, and architectural harmony has led us to specialize in one particular craft: metal architectural building accents. Our mission is simple: to transform building exteriors into statements of purpose, beauty, and performance.
Based in Chester Township, Pennsylvania, Aerial Canopy Systems has been serving the Mid-Atlantic region for over 40 years—helping storefronts, institutions, and architects bring their visions to life. From custom awnings, electronic signage, flag poles, wayfinding, and channel letters, to metal awnings & canopies—no project is too big or too detailed. Our strength lies in our full-service capabilities: design, fabrication, installation, and maintenance all under one roof. We don’t just produce components—we build trusted partnerships.
The demand for architectural metal canopies and panel systems has grown tremendously. Metal allows for durability, clean lines, modern aesthetics, and design flexibility. Panel systems further enhance architectural appeal, enabling sleek finishes, lighting integrations, shade, and weather protection—all while maintaining strong structural integrity.
We believe a well-designed canopy does more than “cover.” It should:
Our metal canopies and panel systems are engineered for both form and function. Whether you are updating a storefront or designing from scratch, we bring together engineering precision, high-performance materials, and finishing details that elevate the entire project.
To help you understand how we differentiate ourselves within the architectural canopy market, here are the quantities that set us apart:

Here’s how we work to ensure any metal or panel canopy project goes smoothly from concept to completion:
We begin by understanding your building, brand, climate, and budget. What vision do you have? What performance (shade, protection, aesthetic) is required?
Our design team translates your needs into architectural drawings. Metals, panels, structural supports, and finishes are specified. Local construction codes, wind loads, snow loads, water drainage—every factor is integrated
With skilled shop technicians, we build your canopy using quality materials. Welds, panel attachments, finishes, and paint are done under strict quality control.
Our installation crews are experienced in handling metal canopy systems safely and precisely. Whether mounting on masonry, steel, concrete, or composite structures, we ensure proper anchoring, flashing, and sealing. (*not available everywhere)
Our team will tailor a canopy package to your site and budget.
