Beware of Rocc Solid Construction

When dealing with home repairs, especially after a storm, it's crucial to choose a trustworthy contractor. Unfortunately, some companies might not be as reliable as they seem. This is a cautionary tale about Rocc Solid Construction in Davenport, IA, led by owner Rocco Scalmato.

Misleading Information

When approached by a salesman from Rocc Solid Construction, it was specifically asked whether they were based locally in the Quad Cities. The salesman assured they were, but this turned out to be misleading. The company only rented space in Davenport, IA, creating the illusion of a local presence. This is a common tactic among "storm chasers"—contractors who follow storms to exploit homeowners in affected areas.

Questionable Business Practices

Further investigation revealed troubling signs about Rocc Solid Construction. An eviction notice was found on the door of their supposed office, indicating an outstanding balance owed. This raises questions about the company's financial stability and reliability.

Moreover, most of the other locations listed by the company are either virtual offices or empty buildings, further indicating a lack of genuine local presence.

Licensing Concerns

A legitimate contractor should openly provide their license information. While Rocc Solid Construction lists a license number on their website, they fail to include the state code necessary to verify in which state they are actually licensed. This lack of transparency can make it difficult for homeowners to validate the contractor's credibility.
