Beware of tim henshaw of t&k acrylics

Tim Henshaw is not just disorganized and a poor contractor. He lied and took my in-laws money, pretended to go to the truck to get the work order and drove away. Too late we found out - he has 3 BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU complaints outstanding right now. He was hired to repaint the garage floor. He showed up a day late, cleaned the bad areas to prep for paint and left for the day. He painted the garage floor and then asked for his check. My mother in law asked for the work order with the warranty. He said it was in the truck. She wrote the check to T&K Acrylics which is the company he owns. He requested that she REWRITE the check to him as his bank account did not say T&K. He took the check she rewrote and went to the truck to get the paperwork and DROVE AWAY. Two hours later the paint in the areas he had cleaned bubble up all over the garage. He did not answer the phone and took almost two days to call back. He made an appointment for Monday morning between 10 and 10:30 to be at the house and fix the paint. He did not show up. He answered the phone and said he was in a meeting and would be there in 2 hours. It is two days later and he still has not called or showed up. His license indicates that it is INACTIVE. His business phone is disconnected. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY HIM. He took $450 to repaint the garage because of the bad spots. He made the bad spots worse. Now they have had to hire someone else to fix his mess. I can only warn others so he doesn't take advantage of you, too.

You should contact Seniors vs Crime to at least file a report so that others will be alerted...they can also try to recover your money. Their number is 750-1914 at Brownwood, 689-4600 at Sumter, and 753-7775 at Marion Ctyat Mulberry.

Most banks won't let you cash a check unless you have an account with them, so if he did go right to the bank you should be able to take some action to freeze the amount he stole from you.
