Cri Hardware & Builders

You can find Cri Hardware & Builders over in Anupuram S.O. We’ve been set up here in the Tirukalikundram area for a good bit of time now. Chengalpattu is a busy place, and there’s always someone building something new. Our shop is packed with all sorts of things—nails, hammers, bags of cement, and tools that have been sitting on the shelves for a while. It’s a bit cramped inside because we try to keep everything anyone might need. If you walk in, you’ll probably have to squeeze past a stack of pipes. We know most of the contractors around here by their first names. They come in early, usually before the sun is fully up, to grab what they need for the day’s work. My cousin handles the counter most mornings while I’m in the back checking the stock. We don’t have a website or anything like that. People just know we’re here near the post office. We try to keep prices fair because we live here too. Sometimes the truck for deliveries is late, and we have to tell people to wait, which is never fun. But mostly, things run okay. We’re just a regular hardware store trying to help folks get their houses fixed up. It’s dusty work, and our boots are always gray from the cement, but we like it well enough to stay.
