Eight Years of Building Something That Actually Works
SmartFix started with one conviction — that Lagos homeowners deserve reliable artisans, and Lagos artisans deserve better opportunities. Eight years later, that conviction is still driving everything we do.
Built for customers. Built for artisans. Built to last.

Why SmartFix exists
Before SmartFix, finding a good artisan in Lagos felt like luck.
You call someone a friend recommended. They come late, or they don’t come at all. The work is rushed. Two weeks later the problem is back. And when you call again, they stop picking up.
1-in-3 home maintenance experiences in Lagos ends badly. That is not bad luck. It is a broken system.
And on the other side of that same broken system — skilled artisans working without structure, without stability, and without a clear path forward in their trade.
SmartFix was built to fix both sides of that problem at once.
“Oya” is the Lagos word for “let’s move.” SmartFix is for people who are done waiting for things to work properly.
What we are building
SmartFix is bigger than repairs.
We are building the infrastructure that makes property maintenance work properly in Lagos. A system where customers can trust the outcome, artisans can build real careers, and property managers can operate without constant stress.
Not a quick fix. A long-term rebuild. Starting in Lagos. Built to last.
The SmartFix ecosystem
Three connected engines. One system. Built to work together.
Marketplace
Where customers get reliable repairs and maintenance. We connect homeowners, property managers, shortlet operators, and businesses with verified artisans across Lagos.

Community
Where artisans grow. Training, mentorship, welfare support, cooperative membership, and a structured path to better work and better income.
Better work. Better income. Better life.
Store
Where artisans get equipped. Tools, equipment rentals, financing support, and supplier discounts so nothing stands between a skilled artisan and good work.
Better tools. Better outcomes.

Our mission
To make home maintenance work properly. For customers who deserve reliability. For artisans who deserve dignity.
We believe good systems create good outcomes. When artisans are properly supported and trained, they do better work. When customers receive consistent quality, trust is rebuilt in a market that has run on uncertainty for far too long. That is what SmartFix is working toward. And we are not done.

From the founder
The moment that started SmartFix: I sent an artisan to fix 2 generators at a client’s property. He stole both of them instead. Someone we had known for 2 years+. No recourse. No record. No way to hold anyone accountable.
That moment made it clear that the problem wasn’t one bad artisan. It was a market with no infrastructure. No verification. No consequence. No trust. SmartFix is the infrastructure I went to build.
