About Us

We are a small company.  Family owned.  We believe in value, providing great personal service.  We do this for our walk in customers and our Internet customers as well.

History:

Keith Specialty Store was established at its present location in 1954 by M.H. Keith.  We have served Marion Center (Indiana County) and the surrounding Pennsylvania areas with plumbing, heating, well and electrical supplies since our inception.

M.H. Keith was a school teacher and farmer.  On evenings and Saturdays, he did plumbing and heating jobs.  Any left over parts were put in a burlap sack on the floor.  Soon, neighbors began to stop by for supplies.  The business grew from there.  Now, we have 6 buildings for warehouses and offices, but our counter is still in the same room where it all started with a sack on the floor. 

Although our founder has sadly passed, we at Keith's continue to serve the public with knowledgeable employees who go the extra mile to ensure your satisfaction.

Many times we have had customers who have moved away from our area come back and tell us they cannot find a store like ours in Ohio, Virginia, Florida, etc.  They said we should print a catalog, but producing, mailing and updating a catalog was just too much.  Then someone introduced Dave Keith to the internet and the light bulb went off.  Dave Keith kicked around the thought of starting a web-based business for a couple of years.  Most people thought he was crazy.  Even M.H. Keith, who was a tremendous businessman said, "Don't waste your time, the internet is just a fad like CB radios!"  We launched our website in 2001 to offer our products and services throughout the United States and Canada.

Dave decided to retire and enjoy his hobbies of fishing and hiking.  On January 2, 2023 Jason Griffith purchased the business. Jason has extensive experience in plumbing, heating, air conditioning and electric.

Jason intends to continue operating under the same style and principles.  Jason's wife, Terri, will be joining our key employees: Mike, Jim, Diane, Dave N. and Marie.  Our employees and Jason, the president of the company, have knowledge from over 140 years combined experience in the heating, air conditioning, plumbing, water systems, electrical and construction trades.

We are proud of our small, hometown-friendly attitude and strive to provide personal service to others outside our local area.  Please make us your plumbing, heating, air conditioning, well and electrical supplier of choice.

Welcome to Keith Specialty Store!

Using our website:

We have over 9000 items in our catalog of about 5000 pages.  Finding the product you need may appear to be a daunting task but there are ways to speed your search. The search box is on every page and you can enter your part number or the description.  You can also start on our home page, look through our catalog index and find the general category for the item you need.  Proceed from there to the specific category and so on.  If you still do not find what you really need, please use the Contact form and we will be pleased to help you.

All items are sold as "each" (individually) unless otherwise noted.  All prices are in U.S. dollars.

Although we are well-established selling from a brick and mortar store for over 65 years, and have been doing e-commerce for over 21 years, we still welcome your comments and your suggestions so we can improve our website and our service to you.

Tailoring to the needs of our customers:

You don't have to buy more than you really need.  You do not have to buy bulk quantities if you need just a bit.  We will cut most pipe, tubing and wire to the length you need.  If you need only 8' of copper tubing, 2 faucet washers, or 12' of wire, that is just what you get!

If you do have a large order, we are happy to quote volume discounts when possible.

 How to contact us:

Our store address, business hours, and telephone numbers appear on every web page. We take calls and walk-in customers only during our business hours. There is no after-hours answering service.  At any time, you can send your questions by visiting the Contact Us page or place your order online using our secure checkout shopping cart.  We strive to respond to questions within one business day.  Most orders are shipped the same day they are received.

Privacy statement:

You can be confident when you shop at Keith's for your plumbing, heating, HVAC, water/well and/or electrical needs.  We do not sell, share, trade or give away any personal information about you. Never, ever, no way, period.  Our system will email you a confirmation of your order.  We will email pertinent information, delays, or questions on your order.  Either we or our UPS system will send you tracking information after your order has shipped.  After we have fulfilled your order to your satisfaction, we may email you once asking you to review your shopping experience, then will not contact you again unless you request it.

Make us your number one source for plumbing supplies, heating supplies, well pump and pipe supplies and electrical supplies.
