Did you know?
When you build a house you use 10 times the amount of screws to your square footage. 1200 sf = 12,000 screws.
Building a house requires thousands of screws because they are used in nearly every stage of construction. Screws help secure drywall, flooring, roofing materials, cabinets, decks, and many other parts of a home. Since every room and structural component requires fasteners, the total number adds up quickly. For example, a 1,200-square-foot house may require around 12,000 screws to ensure the home is safe, strong, and built to last.
Flat and matte paint hides imperfections on walls.
Flat and matte paint have very little shine, which helps conceal dents, bumps, patches, and other imperfections on walls. Unlike glossy paints that reflect light and make flaws more noticeable, flat finishes absorb light, creating a smoother appearance. Because of this, flat and matte paints are often used on ceilings and in older homes where walls may not be perfectly smooth.
Women make up 25% of the construction industry
Although construction has traditionally been a male-dominated field, more women are entering the industry every year. Women work in a wide variety of roles, including project management, engineering, architecture, estimating, skilled trades, and business operations. Their growing presence helps bring different perspectives and skills to construction projects. As the industry continues to expand, more companies are encouraging women to pursue careers in construction.
