Joe Caccamo DBA Joe Caccamo... Vinyl Skirting, Vinyl Siding, K Rock Skirting This man is a fraud. He takes your money and does not deliver product or service. Homosassa and Crystal River Florida
My wife and I stopped by Joe Caccamo's booth at a local flea market where he advertises his business of selling and installing mibile home products. Having just bought a second home in FL, and our first 'mobile' type home, we needed some things done to it. We thought that what better contractor to consult with than a guy that specializes in that type of home. We needed a new entry door and wanted a price on a window installed and skirting repaired as well.
Joe showed up on time at our home for the first meeting. That consisted of taking our money for a new door, paid for in full, and promissing to deliver and install within two weeks. The installation labor was to be paid by us upon completion but the door had to be paid in full before he would order it. There have been several communications with Joe since then but they were to tell us that he couldn't make it. When on the phone with Joe, I asked him if he oredered the door and if he has it. He told me he had it. Still...we hear nothing. A few days past and my wife and I decided to pay Joe a visit at his booth at the local flea market where we first met him. He didn't even recognize us!! I had to tell him who I was before he realized we were his customers. He claimed that I had a different hat on this time and that's why he didn't remember me.
While at Joe's booth at the flea market, my wife asked him again...."do you have our door we paid you for?" Joe replied that he had the door and it would be installed by next Thursday 3/24. Today, 3/23, I got a call from Joe about a problem with the door not making it on the truck to his place from the distributor! The same door he had for us for a week and a half already. This was the last time I was going to be put off buy this scammer.
Mr Caccamo knows that we have only one month to have the door installed before we have to leave and return to our full time residence up north and he's simply trying to run out the clock. I contacted Joe the first day I was in FL so that there would be plenty of time to make this repair. I wish I would have contacted someone else.

On 5/10/2016, Joe Caccamo called me at 7:48AM to inform me that he was in communication with his supplier and that he found the correct screen/storm door for our home. He also said that he would call me the next day and let me know when it would be installed. Joe called me again, the following morning, May 11, 2016 at 8:34AM and told me that his guy Rob would be over to install the door "next week." Well, next week has passed and there has been NO communication from Joe Caccamo.
I'm done with this guy at this forum. I will post a final conclusion here when it happens. However, on Monday 5/23, I'm filing official complaints about this charlatan.
Still trying to get correct screendoor installed

It has been over two months since Joe Caccamo has taken our money and not delivered as ordered. Today, my wife and I called Joe Caccamo, on speaker, to inquire as to why we STILL don't have the proper door on our house that we already paid for. As per normal...he didn't even know who we were until prompted. During the conversation, Joe Caccamo became so defensive that he said "maybe I'll post against your business." This was stated in a phone call between myself and Joe Caccamo placed, by me, at 8:44 PM on Sunday May 8, 2016 on the Verizon network and the phone call lasted 14 minutes. I never performed any services whatsoever for Joe Caccamo and I don't even operate a business in his state. I was blown away by this tactic!! Joe Caccamo threatened me with defamation because I dared to ask him to deliver what I paid for two months ago.......WOW...WOW...WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is truly amazing that a BUSINESS OWNER threatens a customer with defamation. Lawyer called!!!
Update...door now installed

Almost a month to the day that the door was paid for, it was finally arrived ad was installed. Joe Caccamo did not do the work himself or have an on staff employee do the work. He brought over someone that knew what they were doing and did a pretty good job on the installation. The combination door came with a glass storm door and not a two peice screen door as ordered. I'm told that it will take a few more weeks to put the proper screen door on.
Joe Caccamo is not a contractor in the conventional sense of the word. He sells you a product, marks it up and then has someone else install it and then the customer has to pay the installer directly. You will not get a price from this guy on any work. He makes you pay for the material way in advance and later an outside installer will let you know what his bill is when he's done. Doing business in this way cost me and my wife $970.80 to have a door changed out on a late model double wide home.
