FOX10 Investigation Update: HBLB suspends All Weather Roofing & Window Depot licenses

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - The Alabama Home Builder Licensure Board has suspended the business licenses of All Weather Roofing and Construction and Window Depot USA of Mobile — the latest blow to two companies at the center of a growing criminal investigation.

According to Seth Gowan, executive director of the board, the decision was made this morning.

Public records identify Theresa and Edward “Ward” Fendley as the owners of both businesses.

Home Builder Licensure Board records list Theresa Fendley as the designated qualifying representative for All Weather Roofing and Construction LLC.

This comes one day after the Mobile City Council unanimously voted to revoke All Weather Roofing and Construction’s city business license.

As FOX10 Investigates first reported, Window Depot USA of Mobile’s city business license expired earlier this year — meaning All Weather Roofing’s was the only active license left to revoke.

Councilman Josh Woods said the attorney for All Weather Roofing and Construction, Jay Ross, sent the City Council a letter saying the business would surrender its license to the city — but Woods said that did not happen.

“Sometime Friday, you know, we did receive a letter from their council saying that they intended to, I guess, intended to turn their license back over. But, you know, as of right now, nobody in the city has the license in hand, so therefore it was still an active license. But, you know, today’s action with revoking it, nullifies the fact that that license is out there,” Woods said. “I think there’s no other option at this point given what we’ve heard over a month and a half.”

All of this follows a nearly two-month FOX10 investigation. Dozens of people say they paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for services — and received nothing.

Mobile police are now investigating more than 100 criminal cases against the two companies. Customers report combined losses of more than $900,000 in police reports. When civil filings are factored in, that number jumps to more than $1.5 million.

FOX10 Investigates has uncovered state filings linking Ward Fendley to more than just All Weather Roofing and Construction and Window Depot USA of Mobile. According to the Secretary of State website, Fendley is connected to more than a dozen other entities.

One of those entities is AWRC Properties LLC, which lists 1172 West I-65 Service Road South as its address — the same address for All Weather Roofing and Construction. FOX10 Investigates is looking into those other entities and will bring updates as more information becomes available.

As of today, no charges have been filed against the Fendleys.

We have reached out to Ross for comment but have not heard back.
