Diagnosis before repair
Since 1948 we have believed the same thing: find the real cause before recommending a repair. Many of the homes we inspect don’t need the biggest system on the truck — they need the right diagnosis and the smallest fix that lasts. That honesty, backed by decades of documented Quad Cities experience, is why families call us back and refer their neighbors.
Trusted Quad Cities foundation contractors
We’re a team of working contractors — not a company of salespeople. Since 1948, Behncke Construction has repaired Quad Cities homes on one simple promise: tell people the truth and fix it right.

More than 200 years of trade experience builds every Behncke project
Call Behncke and you don’t get a commissioned salesman — you get the people who do the work. Most of them have been in the trade longer than many companies have been in business.
Your estimate is done by a mason — not a salesman.
Kyle, our estimator, has 22 years with a trowel in his hand. He finds the real problem and prices the repair your home actually needs — and customers notice: more than one 5-star Google review praises Kyle by name for a thorough, honest look.
Behind them, an in-house crew — Tarrence, Tristin, Kenny, Jacob, Don and Weston — learning the trade the way it’s always been passed down here: on the jobsite, from the people who’ve done it longest. Serving the Quad Cities since 1948.
Built on honesty since 1948
For more than 75 years, Behncke Construction has repaired foundations, basements, and structures across Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, Rock Island, and Muscatine. The craft is passed down on our jobsites, from our most experienced masons to our newest — and so has the way we treat people.
Decades in the field mean we recognize what we’re looking at quickly, and recommend the right repair, not the biggest one. When a home only needs a small fix, that’s exactly what we’ll tell you.
