Designing and building a Legacy

Craig Windmiller, founder of Windmiller Design Build, has been designing and building custom homes and commercial developments in the Quad Cities for more than 30 years. After earning his degree in contract design and architecture from Iowa State and Southern Illinois University, he moved to Bettendorf, Iowa, and began selling real estate. Craig purchased his first piece of property—16 acres with 34 lots—in 1984; three years later, he completed the project and was eager for more. To date, he has developed 15 neighborhoods and 2 commercial developments, including some of Bettendorf’s most established and sought after residential and commercial properties.


In 2010, Craig joined forces with his son Ryan of Aspen Homes to further expand the Windmiller Group portfolio of homes and price range. But the core tenants of his business have remained unchanged—superior quality, superior design and superior customer experience.

Windmiller Design’s impact on the Quad Cities extends beyond residential development to community betterment. Craig has been very involved with Habitat for Humanity through the years, hosting show houses for the public to raise money for the cause. As active members of the Quad Cities Builders and Remodelers Association, both Craig and Ryan are dedicated to making Bettendorf and the Quad Cities a wonderful place to live.
