Ed Newman

Long before becoming an building inspector, I became a pilot. I quickly learned the importance of solid and thorough inspections - pre-flight, pre-taxi and pre-landing. My life and the lives of everyone on board are in my hands so nothing can be missed or overlooked. After 33 accident free years as a commercial pilot and flight instructor, my life long hobby has proven to me the absolute critical necessity of faultless inspections.

Before the move to Utah, Alamo Real Estate Inspections was originally established in Texas back in 1986 working the "Golden Triangle" area of Texas - Austin | San Antonio | Houston.

In 2005 with the purchase of FLIR infrared thermal imaging cameras we became the original infrared home and building inspection company in the Rocky Mountain West and became Alamo Infrared Building Inspections and Energy Audits.

We have inspected thousands of homes and buildings in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho and performed energy audits on millions of square feet of building space for Federal, State and Local Governments along with commercial buildings and residences.  Visit: UtahEnergyAudit.com for more information

Absolutely incredible inspection. I checked 5 inspectors and 4 were sub par. Thamks for Gerry for recommending Ed. He found hidden issues that were invisible. Thanks for coming up to Idaho for this inspection. Willie

As I drove back to Salt Lake after the inspection in Idaho Falls, I felt relieved that you brought forward everything that I needed to know about the home. I am amazed at all of the things you saw that were not disclosed. I was extremely grateful for your service realizing that I could have made a disastrous choice. I feel that hiring your serrvice was the best investment I have made in a long time.

Professional and in depth inspection. In addition, the inspector took the time to walk through the house and explain and show his findings. He also verbally added possible solutions and recommendations which were welcomed. Thank you. Alfredo Chandia

I am very appreciative for an excellent inspection. He was thorough and didn't leave anything uninspected. His ability to see moisture inside walls was critical. Well worth the money!

After working with several energy auditors and people who claim to know the industry it was a pleasure to have a real professional on the job that took everything to the next step. further than all the other auditors and by far knowledgeable enough to deal with more than I was needing. Thanks Ed Kevin Pearson President ProActive Energy Concepts.com

Gauge Attributes

Customers can Gauge service providers on the following 10 attributes. Not all attributes will apply to all service providers.

  1. Punctuality and Timely Completion: No one likes to wait or have large windows of time where service providers "might" get to them. No one likes the job to drag out because of the service provider's other projects or if it becomes apparent that the SP did not plan well.
  2. Workmanship: No one likes shoddy work, shortcuts, or tradesmen who take advantage of the customer's lack of awareness of what is good quality work.
  3. Responsibility: Many home owners do not wear shoes in their home and service providers should wear covers over their shoes when necessary. SP's should not travel into rooms that are not in the work scope. They should not use the toilet without asking. If the SP soils or breaks something, they should try to replace it.
  4. Professionalism: A Professional does not try to add unnecessary work to the contract. Nor do they try to make themselves look good by demeaning their competition or by discussing religion or politics. Professionals stand behind their price and make the experience pleasant with the customer.
  5. Cleans Up Daily: Customers like to know that each day when service providers leave the room, it is in a broom swept condition, meaning nothing laying around loose, dangerous, all cords are rolled up, and trash or debris is contained or removed. SP's should clean up at the end of the job.
  6. Friendly: No one wants to hear service providers' personal problems. The service provider should be pleasant to be around.
  7. Responsive to a Customer's Call: Call backs should be made in the same day and the service provider should do what was promised.
  8. Well Organized: Generally speaking, from start to finish, the process went well, any concerns were addressed or corrected, and the repair or project ended well with everyone satisfied.
  9. Hygiene: The service provider should look clean, smell clean, and wear shoe covers indoors when needed.
  10. Recommended: Would you recommend this individual or company?
