Exhibit 31.2

                                 CERTIFICATIONS

I, Andy L. Nemeth, certify that:

          1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10Q of Patrick
               Industries, Inc.;

          2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
               untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
               fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
               circumstances under which such statements were made, not
               misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly
               report;

          3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
               financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly
               present in all material respects the financial condition, results
               of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the
               periods presented in this quarterly report;

          4.   The Company's Chief Executive Officer and I are responsible for
               establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures
               (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for
               the Company and we have:

               a)   designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
                    such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
                    our supervision, to ensure that material information
                    relating to the Company, including its consolidated
                    subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
                    entities, particularly during the period in which this
                    quarterly report is being prepared; and

               b)   evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure
                    controls and procedures and presented in this report our
                    conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure
                    controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered
                    by this report based on such evaluation; and

               c)   disclosed in this report any change in the Company's
                    internal control over financial reporting that occurred
                    during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter (the
                    Company's first fiscal quarter in the case of the 10Q) that
                    has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
                    materially affect, the Company's internal control over
                    financial reporting; and

     5.   The Company's Chief Executive Officer and I have disclosed, based on
          our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
          reporting, to the Company's auditors and the audit committee of the
          Company's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
          function):

          a)   all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
               design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
               which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company's
               ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
               information; and

          b)   any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
               other employees who have a significant role in the Company's
               internal control over financial reporting.
