RALEIGH COUNTY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – A Raleigh County contractor is facing multiple felony charges after state police said he took thousands of dollars from several customers for home improvement projects that were never completed.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Raleigh County Magistrate Court, Glen Thomas Ullman, owner of Fence Daddy and More LLC, has been charged with seven counts of grand larceny and fraudulent schemes following an investigation by the West Virginia State Police.
Troopers began receiving complaints in September 2025 from multiple homeowners across Raleigh County who reported paying Ullman large deposits for work on roofs, decks, fences, and porches that he allegedly failed to finish—or never started at all.
One complainant told investigators she paid Ullman a $12,000 deposit in June for roofing work that was never completed.
Troopers said the only materials delivered to her property were enough shingles to cover roughly one-third of the roof.
Another homeowner reported paying $15,000 for a front porch that was halted by code enforcement due to multiple violations, with no refund ever issued.
A separate complaint involved an $8,000 payment for two decks—one left unfinished and another never started—after a stop-work order was placed.
Several others told police they paid Ullman thousands of dollars for projects ranging from fences to decks, often in cash, but that no meaningful work was completed.
In one case, code enforcement shut down the job almost immediately because Ullman did not have a valid building permit.
Troopers said each of the seven victims provided copies of checks, invoices, and text message exchanges with Ullman.
Code enforcement officials later confirmed that Ullman was not licensed to perform the work and did not hold proper permits.
In total, investigators reported $48,200 in alleged losses across the seven complaints.
Court documents state Ullman continued to advertise his business online as recently as late September, despite the ongoing complaints and lack of permits.
Ullman has been charged with 13 counts of grand larceny, 13 counts of fraudulent schemes, and one count of conspiracy. The case remains under investigation by the West Virginia State Police.
He is currently out on bond.
