And one more time, help would be greatly appreciated. In fact, if anyone lives in the nort central texas area, I’ll buy you a drink for some help. I have spent days trying to find this font. I’ve found ones very close, but the “e” and the “r” are always off.
It appears that that ’e’ fell off the truck, got hit by a few cars, pushed to the shoulder where it then sat for a few weeks shriveling in the sun, before some kind soul finally picked it up and gave it a home in the middle of that logo.
What do you want to do / need doing with this - recreate it or improve on it? It could badly do with an overhaul in my opinion.

I would guess it is avant garde with a (poorly) modified e and r. Plus a squooshed n in Weldon and an attempt at a unicase T in contractors.
To the aboves: For now, I really want to find the name of the font. Overhauls are in order, but might have to come further down the line.
To Cumaso: thanks for the help. So this is not a basic font? It’s a modified font?
It is possible that there’s a font that matches this, but I doubt it.
My guess is that it has been modified. It is common practice for designers to modify a few letters of a font when designing logos. When this is done well it makes the logo more distinctive, when it’s done poorly it looks like garbage.
If you need to recreate this logo I would try converting Avant Garde to outlines in Illustrator then modifying the e, r, n, and T to match.
