Insulation slows heat transfer - but air sealing stops drafts. Both are needed for your home to feel comfortable and your bills to drop.
Learn MoreYou reach out, and we ask a few basic questions about your home and what you have been noticing - high bills, cold rooms, drafts. We schedule a free in-home visit, usually within a few days. We respond to every inquiry within 1 business day.
A technician comes to your home and walks through the areas in question - attic, crawl space, walls, or basement. We measure what is already there, check for air leaks and moisture, and give you a clear written estimate before any work is scheduled. No pressure, no surprises.
The crew arrives with everything they need. Air sealing happens first, then the insulation goes in. Most jobs wrap up in a single day. We clean up, walk you through what was done, and handle any permit inspections required by the City of Bettendorf.
We carry full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage on every project. If something goes wrong on your property, you are protected. Ask for our certificate of insurance before we start - we will provide it without hesitation.
We are a local business, not a national franchise dispatching from an hour away. We know Bettendorf's older housing stock, its permit requirements, and what the Quad Cities climate does to under-insulated homes every winter.
Every estimate is free, in writing, and comes with no pressure to book. We tell you what we found, what we recommend, and what it will cost - then the decision is entirely yours. We respond to estimate requests within 1 business day.
From spray foam and attic blown-in to crawl space vapor barriers and retrofit wall insulation, we handle the full scope. You do not need to coordinate multiple contractors for a whole-home insulation project.

"They insulated our crawl space in October and we noticed the difference within the first cold snap. The floors above it used to be freezing - now they feel like the rest of the house. They were on time, done in one day, and left everything clean."
James R., Davenport, IA - Crawl Space Insulation
"I had spray foam put in the attic of my 1960s home. The estimator was honest about what we had and what we actually needed - no upsell. First winter after the work was done, my heating bill dropped noticeably. The ice dams I used to get on the back roof are gone."
Sandra M., Bettendorf, IA - Spray Foam Insulation
"Hired them to blow in insulation in the attic and seal the air leaks. The crew explained everything before they started and showed me photos after. The upstairs rooms that were always too hot in summer are actually comfortable now. Took less than a day."

If your home was built before 1990 and has never had insulation work done, it is almost certainly under-insulated by today's standards. Iowa's Department of Energy places Bettendorf in Climate Zone 5, which requires significantly more attic insulation than most older homes were built with.
Cold spots in rooms above a crawl space or garage are usually an insulation and air-sealing gap, not a furnace problem. Sealing the air leak and adding insulation to the right area fixes the root cause instead of forcing your heating system to compensate.
Eastern Iowa sees real humidity in summer. That moisture can work into an uninsulated crawl space and cause wood rot and mold over time. Closed-cell spray foam in these areas acts as both a thermal barrier and a moisture barrier, which is why it is the recommended choice for this climate.
Insulation slows heat transfer. Air sealing stops drafts by closing gaps around pipes, wires, and attic hatches. Adding thick insulation over a drafty attic floor is like wearing a heavy coat with the zipper open. The best jobs include both, done in the right order.
Yes. Homeowners who add qualifying insulation to an existing home can claim a federal tax credit worth up to 30% of the project cost, capped at $1,200 per year. MidAmerican Energy, which serves the Bettendorf area, also offers separate rebates for qualifying insulation upgrades. Ask your contractor before signing.
Ice dams form when heat escaping through your attic melts snow on the roof, which then refreezes at the cold eaves. Properly insulating and air sealing your attic keeps the roof deck cold and even. The U.S. Department of Energy identifies attic insulation as the most cost-effective fix for this problem.

Bettendorf Insulation is a licensed and insured insulation contractor based in Bettendorf, IA, serving 12 communities across the Quad Cities region since 2024. We are licensed to perform insulation work under Iowa state contractor requirements administered by the Iowa Division of Labor.
We offer 16 insulation services - from spray foam and blown-in attic insulation to crawl space vapor barriers and commercial projects. Every job comes with a free written estimate, and we handle any permit applications required by the City of Bettendorf so you do not have to.
If the existing insulation is dry, pest-free, and in good shape, a contractor can usually blow new material right on top. If it is wet, moldy, or contaminated, it needs to come out first. Do not pay for removal unless the contractor explains exactly why it is necessary.
In most cases, both. Insulation on the crawl space walls handles the thermal side. A vapor barrier on the floor handles moisture rising from the ground. In Iowa's humid summers, skipping the vapor barrier leaves the insulation doing half the job.
You will see improvement, but not as much as you expect. Air moving through gaps carries heat with it - insulation alone cannot stop that. Homes in Bettendorf that skip air sealing often still have cold spots and higher-than-expected bills even after a new insulation job.

Bettendorf is one of the four cities that make up the Quad Cities metro area, sitting right along the Mississippi River in Scott County with around 40,000 residents. It is one of the wealthier communities in Iowa, with a mix of mid-century brick homes near the river and newer subdivisions toward the north and west edges of the city. From the neighborhoods near the Isle Casino waterfront to the trails around Crow Creek Park, this is a city where homeowners take real pride in their properties.
The Quad Cities area is home to major employers including John Deere and the Rock Island Arsenal just across the river - industries that bring stable incomes and long-term homeowners to the region. Many Bettendorf homes, especially those built between the 1950s and 1980s in the established neighborhoods closer to the Mississippi, were constructed to insulation standards that are well below what is recommended for this climate today. Combined with the city's proximity to the river, which pushes humidity into crawl spaces and basements each summer, there is a clear pattern of insulation needs we see consistently across Bettendorf.
Bettendorf is connected to the Illinois side of the Quad Cities by the I-74 bridge, and we work on both sides of the river. Whether your home is in one of the older brick-front neighborhoods near the riverfront or in a newer subdivision on the north side of town, we know the difference in what each type of home needs - and we bring the right approach to each job.
