Our experience with Have Shovel - Will Travel was very unsatisfactory. We signed our contract with him over a year ago, and the work has still not been completed. He has proven to be unreliable and has ignored repeated calls from us.

All work was completed beyond my expectations. Rick provided a detailed proposal, written, with all of the work spelled out, so that there would be no surprises upon completion of the work. He was on-time for all appointments. Rick is extremely professional,honest,knowledgeable and conscientious. His work and the speed at which he completed the job exceeded my expectations. I can't say enough about what a wonderful job he and his team did. I am happy to have had the recommendation from Service Magic-who once again provided me with a top-notch,professional,and brilliant person. Thanks!

Quick professional contact, very thorough and knowledgeable. Job was completed exactly as discussed, for the agreed price and on time. I would recommend Mr. Ovalle (Have Shovel Will Travel), and plan to consult with him on future projects. Also, Service Magic was easy to use, and the contractors they referred were pre qualified professional.

His work is very good, from the photo's I've seen, but his first draft had a lot of problems. The pool was placed wrong in relation to the house, so we couldn't use any of the measurements for the hardscape or fence. We asked him to come back and re-measure and he hasn't done that yet. In the meantime all our subs are on hold. since he made the error you would think he'd come back to correct it immediately.

Rick contacted us almost immediately after the original request. He is very profressional, very responsive to questions and appears to do exceptionally maticulous work. We actually haven't started the job yet, but of what we have seen from Rick so far, we are confident we will be extremely happy with the results.
