Window Depot of the Gulf Coast, an independently owned Alabama window company, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in early September after facing mounting customer complaints and regulatory scrutiny. The Mobile-based business cited estimated assets between zero and $50,000 against liabilities ranging from $1 million to $10 million. The bankruptcy petition lists 173 unsecured creditors, with no funds expected to be available to them once administrative expenses are settled.
The company, which sold replacement vinyl windows, entry doors, patio sliders, and hurricane-impact glass systems, operated as a licensee of national brand Window Depot USA. Before filing for bankruptcy, customers accused the company and its affiliated entity, All Weather Roofing and Construction LLC, of collecting thousands of dollars for work that was never completed. NBC 15 News reported that they told the Mobile City Council in June that their losses totaled roughly $492,000. By July, over 100 had reported combined losses of nearly $1 million.
In July, the City Council revoked All Weather Roofing’s business license, and city officials stated that neither business could legally operate in Mobile. At that time, investigators said 108 customers had reported combined losses exceeding $900,000, with the investigation ongoing and potentially heading to the Mobile County District Attorney’s Office for review.

As complaints escalated, Window Depot USA severed ties with the Mobile operation, revoking authorization to use its name, trademarks, and branding. The bankruptcy filing confirms substantial debts to suppliers and alternative lenders with no assets to satisfy those obligations. The petition reports $0 in cash, inventory, equipment, accounts receivable, and real property. ProVia is the company’s largest creditor, with a $378,341 claim representing more than a quarter of the reported liabilities.
The creditor list includes numerous individual creditors and business financing companies such as Merchant Advance, G and G Funding, OnDeck Capital, Fenix Capital, Star Advance, Highland Hill Funding, and Immense Funding. Theresa Fendley, identified as the owner in bankruptcy filings, signed the Chapter 7 petition on September 1, 2026. Public records link Theresa and Edward Fendley as owners of both Window Depot of the Gulf Coast and All Weather Roofing.
Local reporting indicates Mobile police were investigating more than 100 criminal cases involving the two companies as of July, though no charges had been filed against the Fendleys at that time. The ongoing investigation, coupled with the company’s inability to meet financial obligations, highlights the severity of the situation facing the business and its stakeholders.
