About Us

ProAdGuides is a DIY guide site for Nigerian homeowners and renters. We publish step-by-step guides for everyday home repairs, painting, simple woodworking, and home care, written for people who want to fix things themselves without wasting money or time.

Who I Am

I’m Michael Javarts, the author and owner of ProAdGuides. I write every guide on this site. Each one is researched carefully, uses tools and parts you can find in Nigerian hardware shops, and is checked for clear steps and realistic costs before it’s published.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Tools and parts you can find locally. We name what you need and what to ask for at the shop.
  • Realistic cost estimates. Prices in naira are approximate and change by area, so check your local market before you buy.
  • Clear safety warnings. Where a job involves water, electricity, height, or heavy tools, we say so before you start.
  • Honest limits. When a job is beyond a DIY fix, we say so, because knowing when to call a plumber or electrician is part of doing the job right.

Our Topics

  • Plumbing and taps
  • Walls and painting
  • Doors, windows, and hardware
  • Furniture and simple woodworking
  • Floors and tiles
  • Home care and garden projects

Our Promise

We don’t publish guides we wouldn’t stand behind. If we get something wrong, we’ll correct it. If you try a guide and something doesn’t work for your home, we want to hear about it.
