Kumararaja & Granite

You can find Kumararaja & Granite at 94-6-31 in Bangarupalem. We work mostly with stone, specifically granite, which is heavy and hard work. It’s not the kind of job for someone who wants to keep their hands clean. We spend our days surrounded by slabs of rock and the sound of cutting machines. Bangarupalem is a decent place to work, and our location here gives us enough room to move the heavy pieces around. We aren't a massive factory, just a local yard where we process orders for people building houses or fixing up their kitchens. Sometimes the dust gets everywhere, but that’s just part of the trade. We’ve been at this address for a long time now. People in the area know us by name, which is how we like it. We don't do much advertising. Usually, someone’s cousin or neighbor tells them to come see us. We focus on the task at hand. If a slab needs cutting, we cut it. If someone needs a specific color, we look through our stock. It’s practical, physical labor. The weather can be a bit much in the summer, but we keep the fans going and get through the day. We are just regular people trying to do a good job with the stone we have. It’s a steady life and we are thankful for the local community that keeps us going.
