Joice Painting Works

Joice Painting Works is based out of the Rehman Industrial Estate in Andheri East. We’re located in the Behram Baug area, which is a pretty active part of the city. Our workshop is where we keep all the ladders, tarps, and buckets of paint. It’s not a place for white shirts; you’re likely to see paint splatters on just about everything we own. We spend most of our time out at different sites, but the estate is our home base where we mix colors and clean our brushes. The space is filled with the smell of thinner and fresh coats of paint. It can get pretty cramped when we have a big project lined up and all the supplies are delivered at once. We’ve been doing this for years, so we’ve seen all kinds of walls and surfaces. We aren't much for fancy talk or complicated contracts. We just look at what needs doing and get to work. People in the neighborhood know us from the vans and the gear we carry around. It's hard work, especially in the heat, but there is a certain satisfaction in seeing a room change color. Sometimes the weather slows us down, but we just adjust the schedule. We’ve stayed in this industrial estate because it’s central and easy for us to get to different parts of Andheri. It’s a messy job, but someone has to do it.
