Providing Quality Materials for 4 Generations
A. Marinelli & Sons Inc. has been serving contractors across Greater Philadelphia, South Jersey, and Delaware since 1965. We're not a corporate supplier. We're a family-run business built on reliability, relationships, and the kind of experience that comes from doing the work ourselves.
We started on the job site. It still shows.
Alexander Marinelli started this business in 1965 hauling stone and moving dirt, not behind a desk. Four generations later, that perspective is still how we run the yard. We stock what contractors actually pull, schedule deliveries around how jobs actually run, and handle the 7 AM curveballs because we know what it's like to be on the other end of that call.
Built the same way it started.
The Marinelli name has been part of the Philadelphia construction industry for over 60 years.
It started in 1965 with Alexander Marinelli, hauling stone, moving dirt, and doing the kind of work that keeps jobsites moving. The business was hands-on from day one. It was built around showing up, doing the work, and getting it done right.
As the next generation stepped in, the family saw an opportunity to evolve. Instead of chasing work as contractors, they could support the contractors themselves by supplying the materials every job depends on. That shift shaped the business into what it is today.
Today, A. Marinelli & Sons is led by the fourth generation. The family is still involved in the day-to-day: in the yard, on the phone, and working directly with customers.
When you call Marinelli, you’re not routed through a system.
You’re talking to the people behind the name, the same people responsible for making sure your job runs smoothly.
The name hasn’t changed and neither has the standard.

Why Contractors Choose Marinelli
You've got a schedule, a crew, and a deadline. We're built to keep all three on track. We show up when we say we will, know what your job actually needs, and handle the details so you don't have to.
Reliability Is the Standard
You need materials when you say you need them. We deliver. No excuses, no delays. That's what contractors pay for, and that's what we do.
Built for Contractors. Not Just Big Accounts

Tools That Match How You Work
From fast quote turnaround to self-serve pricing, we make it easier to estimate, plan, and keep your projects moving.
We Deliver
Delivery is not an afterthought here. It's the backbone of what we do. We own our concrete trucks, dump trucks, and flatbeds because controlled scheduling means your job stays on track.
With an owned fleet of concrete trucks, dump trucks, and flatbeds, we control the process from scheduling to jobsite drop-off. That means fewer delays, better coordination, and a team that understands what’s at stake when materials don’t show up on time.
Our drivers aren’t just drivers. They’ve spent their careers on construction sites. They know how to navigate access challenges, coordinate with crews, and keep your job moving.

The People Behind the Name
A hands-on team with deep industry experience, focused on relationships, reliability, and the kind of practical knowledge that only comes from doing the work for decades.
At A. Marinelli & Sons, the team is part of what makes the company different.
This is not a business run from a distance. The people leading Marinelli are involved in the day-to-day, working in the yard, coordinating deliveries, helping customers source the right materials, and solving problems as they come up.
That hands-on involvement matters. It means contractors are working with people who understand jobsites, timelines, materials, and the pressure that comes with keeping work on schedule.
It also means the experience behind the business is not abstract - it is active, accessible, and built into every order, delivery, and conversation.
