Penn Stone Customer Service Update: March 31, 2020
At Penn Stone, we remain focused on complying with Pennsylvania’s stay-at-home order in response to the coronavirus public health crisis, and we continue to operate with a reduced staff and limited hours. But we are also committed to supporting construction contractors continuing to perform work at this time within the permitted sectors as described here or with an approved waiver from Pennsylvania DCED.
Our industry group, “Building Material and Supplies Dealers,” is permitted to be open at this time, and during the past two weeks we have had many requests from landscape contractors and masonry contractors working on exempt projects to provide them with materials.
Our operating policy as of March 31, 2020 is below.
We are open for contractor customer service only at this time.
For all other customers, we will be ready to service your order after the stay-at-home order is lifted. We encourage you to contact us now with orders or questions.
