Editorial Team - Dinheiro Ajuda

All articles on Dinheiro Ajuda are signed by the Dinheiro Ajuda Team. This page explains who is behind the site, how articles are researched and written, which sources we use and how we correct mistakes.

Who we are

Dinheiro Ajuda is a website about DIY home repair, furniture restoration and upcycling, maintained by Cifra ADS. The Dinheiro Ajuda Team is the site’s editorial team: it handles topic selection, research, writing and updates for our guides on furniture revival, tools and techniques, quick DIY fixes and creative upcycling. We sign as a team because every article goes through more than one stage of work before it is published.

Our mission

To help beginners and weekend makers repair, restore and reuse what they already have, safely and on a budget, with clear step-by-step instructions.

How our articles are produced

Topics: we start from real questions readers ask and avoid repeating subjects the site already covers.
Research: facts, figures and recommendations are checked against the primary sources listed below before they go into the text.
Writing: each article explains the subject step by step, with practical examples and frequently asked questions. We use digital tools, including artificial intelligence, to support research and drafting; the team reviews the text before it is published.
Fact-checking: before publishing we review numbers, recommendations and claims. Information that cannot be confirmed is left out.

Sources we use

Safety agencies, such as the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (cpsc.gov), OSHA (osha.gov) and the EPA (epa.gov), for tool safety, protective equipment, lead paint and chemical handling.
Manufacturers’ instructions and safety data sheets for tools, paints, finishes, adhesives and cleaning products.
Building and electrical codes and official guidance, when a project touches wiring, plumbing or structure.
University extension programs and recognized trade references for wood, finishing and repair techniques. Mentioning a brand is not a recommendation.

Reviews and updates

Articles show their publication date. We review our guides periodically and whenever relevant guidance changes, and we update the text when we find something outdated.

Corrections

Found something wrong or outdated? Write to us through our Contact page with the link to the article and the passage in question. We read every message and, when an error is confirmed, we correct the article.

Editorial independence

The site may be supported by advertising. Ads are shown separately from the editorial content, and advertisers do not choose topics, review articles or influence our conclusions.
We are not paid by brands or companies to recommend products or services. If we ever publish sponsored content, it will be clearly labeled as such.
Dinheiro Ajuda does not sell tools, materials or repair services.

Important notice

The content on Dinheiro Ajuda is informational and educational. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use protective equipment. Electrical, gas, plumbing and structural work may require a licensed professional and permits under local rules; when in doubt, hire one.
