Morinelli Power Washing

By Marcella Peyre-Ferry Contributing Writer

Morinelli Power Washing has given homes a clean, fresh look since 2016.

Joseph Morinelli, the owner, worked in related businesses, at one point traveling all across the country for his job. Wanting to stay closer to home, he started Morinelli Power Washing.

“I wanted to do something on my own where I can control my time and control my costs,” Morinelli explained. “This has been great. I love it. I get to meet people and talk to people.”

Serving clients from Chester Springs and Phoenixville, west to Honeybrook, down to Coatesville, and as far as Unionville and Kennett Square, Morinelli Power Washing serves private residences as well as light commercial buildings. In some cases, a homeowners’ association will arrange for multiple buildings to be done at the same time, saving time for Morinelli and thus saving money for clients.

By calling Morinelli instead of attempting it yourself, you can save time and frustration, while getting a better, longerlasting result.

Homeowners may have a personal pressure washer or may consider renting one to tackle their building cleaning needs. If you can get your pressure washer started, it may not be powerful enough to do an efficient job. With a small home pressure washer, you could spend hours to clean one section of a wall, whereas Morinelli can clean a 2,000-squarefoot home in less than two hours. Safety is also an issue, especially if a person is using a small pressure washer that would require climbing

a ladder. Morinelli is able to do everything from the ground. The cleaning agent is applied at a softer pressure, and then it is given time to do its work before rinsing at a higher pressure. If there are shrubs around the home, Morinelli ensures they are covered, if necessary, before the process starts.

Morinelli’s power-washing process uses hot water and a cleansing agent that targets algae that keeps it from returning for 24 to 36 months.

“People who use me may not need to see me again for two to three years,” Morrinelli explained.

In addition to houses, professional power washing can be done on decks, walls, pavers, driveways, outbuildings and a variety of exterior structures.

Morinelli can tackle jobs of any size, from individual residences to large apartment buildings. If you need work on a deck, Morinelli can power wash it, sand it if necessary, and then have one of his subcontractors come in to stain it for a beautifully finished job.

Instead of giving unsupported estimates, Morinelli comes to the site to see the job at hand before quoting a price. At that time, he will look at the property and make suggestions as to what may be needed for the best result in that individual case. A good, professional power washing will make a home look better, smell better and be cleaner.

“When everything’s clean, you can feel better about your home and yourselves,” Morinelli said.

He makes an effort to schedule clients so that he will be working in one area at a time. This allows him to reduce travel time, which helps keep costs lower for clients.

“If you get me, you get personalized service. You get the person that’s looking at the job and giving a cost estimate, doing the job. I don’t take payment until the job is done and we do a walk around,” Morinelli said. “It’s personalized service.”

Morinelli is originally from Delaware County, but moved to Chester County in 1979 and made it home.

“It’s beautiful,” he said. “I’ve been all over the county with work and I love it here.”

Power washing is best done when temperatures all day are above freezing so it is a seasonal business, roughly available from spring through November.
