We hired Scott Hankins in May, 2022 and was told we needed to pay upfront for each week of work. We stupidly gave him a check for $1,000. Job was supposed to be done by July 4th. First, he had family who was sick, rainy weather, got caught on another job but finally started on Tuesday, June 14, 2022. Finished the brick and mortar part of our foundation on Friday, June 17th. Was to come the next Monday to paint the foundation. Wrote him a check for $1,060 for another week of work plus $60 for 2 gallons of paint. It is now April 11, 2023, and Scott has not been back to paint. Has failed to return our money or the paint. Has had one excuse after another--family all had Covid twice, truck broke down, car broke down, kids in hospital, rain. He has even threatened to file slander charges against me because I gave him a bad review on HomeAdvisor. Said his attorney told him not to talk to us but won't give us his attorney's name. Has had other small claims suits filed against him. Just laughs about it. Don't ever hire this man! read more
