Suraj Paints & Hardware Store

If you walk down the street in Shastri Nagar, you'll find us pretty easily because of all the paint cans usually sitting near the entrance. Our shop at 121/632 is packed from floor to ceiling with all sorts of hardware. We’ve got different brands of paint, brushes that have seen better days on display, and more boxes of screws and nails than I can count. It gets a bit dusty in here, especially when we’re moving bags of cement or heavy tools around. People come in looking for a specific shade of blue or a pipe fitting that won't leak, and we spend a good chunk of the day digging through drawers to find exactly what they need. It’s a local spot where neighbors stop by not just for supplies, but sometimes just to vent about a leaky faucet or a door that won't close right. We aren't trying to be a big fancy showroom. It's just a regular hardware store where the shelves might be a little crooked and the ledger is kept on the counter. We’ve been in Vijai Nagar for quite some time now, and we know most of the faces that walk through the door. If we don’t have something, we usually know who does, or we try to get it in by the next week. It's simple work, selling things people need to fix up their homes and keep everything in working order.
