Remodel & New Construction Wiring in Bettendorf, IA
A new house on an infill lot in Bettendorf starts with power for the builder rather than power for the owner: a temporary service so the framing crew has something to plug into. The city takes that as its own application, separate from the electrical permit covering the house itself, and both go in before we set a single box.
What this means in Bettendorf
Bettendorf runs its permitting through the city’s own site, and it lists temporary electric service as a separate application from the electrical permit. On a new build that ordering matters, because the temporary pole has to be live for the trades long before the panel is energised. We file both, then meet the inspector at rough and again at final.
- A layout walk-through on the framed shell, marking every box before cable is pulled.
- Homeruns, device boxes and fixture blocking set and stapled ahead of insulation.
- Rough inspection booked for the gap between the mechanical trades and drywall.
- Trim, breakers landed and a panel schedule that matches the house as built.
Our shop is in town, on Devils Glen Road, which is the practical difference on a build: a change made at the framing stage does not wait on a supply run two towns over, and most Quad Cities calls are reached in under an hour when the schedule moves under you. We are family-owned with more than 35 years behind us, and we back our workmanship with a lifetime warranty.

The stages of the job
- Layout walk-throughWe walk the framed space with you and mark every box: where the bed goes, which way the door swings, where the island lands, what will sit on the counter.
- Rough-inBoxes set, cable pulled and stapled, panel and homeruns in, fixture blocking coordinated with the framer. Rough inspection happens before anything is covered.
- TrimDevices, plates, fixtures, fans and bath fan hookups, breakers landed, and the panel labelled for the finished layout rather than the drawing.
- Final inspectionWe meet the inspector and hand over a panel schedule that matches the house as built.
Remodel & New Construction Wiring in Bettendorf: questions
Yes. The city treats temporary electric service as its own application alongside the electrical permit, and we file both as the licensed contractor so the site has power when the framers arrive.
Everything drywall is about to hide: box fill and mounting, cable support and protection, grounding, the homeruns at the panel and the connections that are not yet made up. Nothing gets covered until it has been signed off.
Yes, but the honest answer comes from a load calculation first. Sometimes a subpanel fed from a service with headroom is enough; where the existing service cannot carry the new load, the service upgrade becomes part of the remodel rather than a later problem.
