Rockland County Department of Consumer Protection is Warning Residents About a Resurfacing Scam

Published

on

Recent reports from local businesses and residents indicate that scammers are posing as legitimate contracting companies, falsely claiming urgent structural issues to convince homeowners to sign expensive contracts for unnecessary repairs.

In one instance, scammers impersonated a reputable roofing company, Gikas Roofing, and tricked a homeowner into signing a $78,000 contract for fraudulent roof repairs. A similar case involved an elderly woman who paid $60,000 for a roof replacement she didnโ€™t needโ€”only for the scammers to disappear after causing damage to her home.

โ€œThese types of scams follow a familiar pattern, with unlicensed contractors using scare tactics to rush homeowners into making costly decisions,โ€ said Rockland County Consumer Protection Director Kimberly Von Ronn.ย โ€œOur department successfully impounded a vehicle and is working closely with the company being impersonated, along with Orangetown Building and Police Departments, but we urge families to be vigilant.โ€

Always remember to:

  • Ask for proof of a Rockland County license and insurance. A New Jersey license does not qualify in Rockland County.
  • Do not make immediate decisions under pressure. Take time to research and compare contractors.
  • Never pay in full upfront. Legitimate contractors will provide a written contract and schedule reasonable payments.
  • If approached by an unsolicited contractor, contact Rockland County Consumer Protection immediately.

If you suspect a scam, contact the Rockland County Department of Consumer Protection atย [email protected]ย or 845-364-3901.
