Chalkboard paint has become increasingly popular as of recent, and it’s about time.

House hunting can be both exciting and exhausting. The exciting part can be a good source of fuel for your task at hand, but can also join exhaustion in the detrimental department. You may find the seemingly perfect house, and focus on what you love about the layout and such more so than on other important factors which should heavily influence your final purchase decision. Hiring movers is something you’ll plan on doing to make your relocation happen, but make sure that you have made the right decision on your new home choice so that you don’t have to hire movers again for a long time; moving in only to move right back out when things take a turn for the worse can be avoided if you just use your head.

Here is an example of a very important quality you should be on the look-out for in your prospective-home inspection: cracks in the concrete. Concrete is surely going to be an element of your new home’s construction. However; cracks in your home’s concrete can lead to serious problems aside from being an eyesore. Moisture can easily seep its way into cracks in your homes foundation and elsewhere which can cause mold which is often detrimental to your health! Should cracks develop in your home after you have moved in, it is imperative that you have the damage repaired as soon as you possibly can. Be sure that the house of your dreams truly is the house of your dreams, and also be sure to keep it that way! Don’t let moving excitement or exhaustion stand in your way!


When you’re moving long distance, the last thing you need is more stress on an already full plate! You may not realize it, but some moving companies push care of your belongings to the sidelines especially when it comes to long distance moves. You may be moving a truckload of what you see as your livelihood, which is what your Melbourne mover should see as well! However; the sad truth is that many movers in Melbourne really only see the weight of the property they have on board, and pay little more mind to your valuables than how “valuable” they are to their pocket book; there is not much value in this type of moving service at all is there?

While long distance moving costs are estimated by weight and mileage as opposed to local moves’ length in time, your trusted Melbourne movers here always treat your valuables as their own no matter how far you’re moving! What many movers Melbourne has to offer don’t realize is that the true value of your move lies in the impression you are left with. If you bid your movers farewell with a satisfied smile on your face, chances are you know exactly who you’ll call the next time you require relocation services! Your Melbourne movers here aim to make customers for life!


If you rent an apartment, you probably paid an initial security deposit before you moved in. If you play your cards back, you’ll get that security deposit back one day; typically in the hundreds if not more, the safe return of your security deposit is pretty important, yes? If you want to get your deposit back, there are several tips that your Melbourne movers have to help your chances! First and foremost, treat the apartment as if it were your home; keep the place clean and be sure that the walls windows and other delicate components of your unit are undamaged by the time your move-out day arrives. Sometimes damage which is out of your control can occur; weather damage, fire, flooded or busted pipes, even normal wear and tear is considered to be the responsibility of your landlord and not yours. Should any damage occur which is not the fault of you nor any of your guests, be sure to bring such damage to the attention of your landlord immediately! It is important that you eliminate any uncertainties from the equation when it comes to the fate of your security deposit. It may even be a good idea to file a police report to officially document and wash your hands clean of any unforeseen accidents. Keep in mind that the return of your security deposit is subject to forfeit in the event that you owe any back rent, utilities, or any other payments to your landlord upon moving out. Getting your security deposit back can be a huge help when it comes to moving to your next home, so make sure to do everything within your power to ensure the refund!


Moving is not the most fun thing in the world. Moving is not part of your daily routine if you’re not in the relocation business, so there is no doubt that planning a local or long distance move can be quite the challenge. However; sometimes you detest the place where you live so much that you can’t wait to start packing boxes and walking back and forth between your soon-to-be old home and your moving truck. Maybe you have a noisy neighbor, or a pest problem; or maybe your neighbor is the pest because he or she constantly voices an exaggerated complaint that you’re too loud! Perhaps your heating and air conditioning don’t work too well leaving you either shivering or sweating, or maybe you want to move because you live near an airport and are tired of hearing piercing jet engines all day long. There are plenty of reasons why you can’t wait for your move day; it will be here soon enough! In the meantime, let the annoyances motivate you to execute the quickest most efficient move ever. Your Melbourne professional movers here have the winning game plan for any move. Moving this time won’t be a hassle, it’ll be your escape from the daily hassles of your home-away-from-sanity. And considering how badly you want to get out of there, your new place is probably heavenly in comparison; finding your dream home is easy when you know what you DON’T want! Hang in there, champ! Pretty soon you’ll be happily watching your movers empty your horrid abode and leading the way to your new safe haven; lesson learned!


In the relocation service industry, local moving companies are held temporarily responsible for the belongings of their customers. This is a huge responsibility that your Melbourne area movers take extremely seriously. Recently a horrifying news story caught my attention causing me to nearly cough up my morning coffee all over my computer screen in a fit of shock. While on the road, a postal service tractor trailer door mysteriously came unlatched, dumping hundreds of articles of mail over more than 70 miles of highway! What a nightmare for the USPS employee, I can only imagine the helpless feeling he must have had in the pit of his stomach as the fiasco began to unfold.

Luckily, the hefty load of escaped mail was said to be mostly bills and statements; no personal mail was thought to have been on board. Though no accident this severe has ever happened to your local movers in Melbourne, I sympathize with the truck driver in this unfortunate story. When your Melbourne relocation experts here do a move, be it a local or long distance move, we have a routine for absolutely everything to ensure that every job is flawless. Not only do your Melbourne movers latch the truck door securely before taking off; your furniture is also quilt pad wrapped and strapped safely and securely inside the truck to guarantee a sturdy accident-free ride to your new home. Though I doubt these types of incidents are very common for the postal service, stories such as this one make you realize that you can never be too careful when it comes to transporting peoples’ stuff!


Bargains are everywhere; you just have to know where to look. With the holidays getting closer, bargains are especially important right now. There are plenty of places to look when you are trying to make the most out of your dollar. Here are some thoughts to get your brain into bargain hunting mode.

  • Second Hand Shopping
    Who said that you have to shop for brand new goods? Sometimes, one man’s garbage is only garbage because he doesn’t recognize the value of what he has. You could be lucky enough to pay bottom dollar for high quality goods if you consider purchasing items second hand. You can easily find a second hand shop or thrift store in your neighborhood, or you can shop online. Websites such as: craigslist or EBay are excellent sources for second-hand treasures.
  • Be Informed
    You may be surprised to learn of the opportunities your favorite shops and stores have available to you on quite a regular basis. Keep an eye out for these opportunities and you’ll be saving money more often than not. You can always find coupons in your local newspaper. You can also subscribe to email newsletters of your favorite stores and shops to learn of sales and promotions they have available to their favorite customers. Some companies even offer a frequent buyers card for their most loyal customers, these types of memberships enable you to save money with each purchase you make! Get involved with your favorite companies and you will learn a lot about what deals and bargains they have to offer you!
  • Quality Is Key
    Remember that cheaper isn’t always better! Your local mover in Melbourne knows that a lot of service providers can trick you with low hourly rates. Service providers such as professional moving companies in Melbourne do regularly charge by the hour. It is a common misconception to think the company with the lowest hourly rate will also have the lowest price at the end of the day. However; though low hourly rates will make each individual hour less expensive, companies who offer the lowest hourly rates have the lowest quality service. This means that if you are hiring a moving company with the lowest hourly rate; you are hiring the mover who will move the slowest who will be the most careless with your property. This rule applies to any service industry. Lower hourly rates should indicate to you that you are not getting full time professional employees from this company, which means you will not receive service with which you will be pleased!

Keep a sharp eye when you shop around, and you’ll always pay the best prices for the products and services you receive. Always read between the lines, and know when something is too good to be true. And if you’re hiring professional movers any time soon, go with the Melbourne area mover with the best service!


There is a special bond that exists between best friends. Your best friends probably know you better than anybody. Best friends tend to know what each other are thinking even if no words have been spoken. With your best friends you know each other so well that you feel almost like flawlessly synched satellites. Sometimes you don’t even have to exchange words to know what the other is thinking… Kind of spooky, nevertheless, everybody needs best friends in their lives.

The close connection between best friends is comparable to the synergy between your Melbourne moving crew members when they’re on the job. They know each other so well that they don’t skip a beat when on the job. Crew members with Melbourne’s most reputable moving company know exactly what to expect out of each other performance-wise and have a routine for absolutely everything. This is how your move is finished so quickly and efficiently. You should never hire a company who outsources labor to non-professionals. Without the teamwork effort that exists between fulltime movers your move will lack rhythm. No routines, no experience, no efficiency. Unprofessional companies who skimp on labor cannot give you the kind of service full time skilled movers do. Imagine having to plan a vacation or a night out with one or more people whom you don’t know. Every plan you make is a guess, silly wishful thinking hoping that everybody agrees on the day’s events. In such a scenario it doesn’t take much before you’re wishing your best friends were there so you could easily figure out how to enjoy yourselves. Crazy how such a simple concept works so well in the moving world. The next time you find yourself in need of moving services, just think of your best friends and you’re sure to hire a reputable Melbourne mover who will move you right!


Much like area buffet restaurants, local moving companies are able to perform any type of moving service you need.

So the next time you think your move is too small, think again. Large or small moves are piece of cake. Please note, some smaller moves do require a minimum number of hours.
