Drywall Supply Place In Central PA

fr8train

Hi all, this is my first post on here, but I've been lurking in the shadows for about 2 weeks . I was wondering if anyone here is from Central PA and knows the name and/or location of a good drywall supply company. The local big boxes just don't have much of a selection of tools.

While I'm not a contractor, I do finish drywall for a living. Unfortunately it's for a manufactured housing company. I've been there about 2 years, and while it was a good place to learn the trade ( a few of the finishers I work with have been doing it for 15 years or so), things there seem to be going downhill fast. So I can either whine and complain, or I can do something about it. I figure I'll do something about it and start out on my own.

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Mike

MdShunk, no I don't work at either of those, although I have heard of Keystone.

I work at Manorwood Homes, in Pine Grove, a bit northeast of Harrisburg on I-81.

Ah, yes. I worked up near there for a little over a year in Tower City. You're in coal country there.

anyone else having trouble reaching strober.com? Every time I try to go there, even if I do a search for the company and click a link, I get a 'connection timed out' error.
