We had such a great experience working with Gabriel and his team at Bencke’s Tile Bath Remodel. From the very beginning, Gabriel was incredibly communicative, responsive, responsible, and someone we felt we could completely trust. He always kept us updated, answered every question, and made what could have been a stressful renovation feel easy.
Our Jack-and-Jill bathroom was 25 years old and very builder-grade and felt cramped with way too many doors. Gabriel helped completely transform the space into a bathroom that feels so much larger, brighter, and honestly looks like something out of a magazine.
The quality of the work is exceptional. They waterproofed the bathroom properly, insulated the tub, installed a linear drain with a perfectly sloped floor so the water drains exactly where it should, and the tile work is absolutely flawless. The floating vanity, mirror, and every finish were installed with so much attention to detail.
What I appreciated just as much was that Gabriel truly stands behind his work. If we noticed even the smallest thing, he was happy to come back and make it right without any hesitation. It’s rare to find a contractor who genuinely wants everything to be perfect.
We interviewed several contractors before choosing Gabriel, and I am so glad we did. The final result exceeded our expectations, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gabriel and his team to anyone looking for a bathroom remodel. They do beautiful work, they’re honest, and they’re the kind of people you actually enjoy working with.

Mechanicsville floors: sorting out what is old
The Census line for Mechanicsville counts 15,947 homes in the 2020 to 2024 survey, with a median build year of 1990, give or take two years. The 1980s lead at 20.0 percent.
Floors laid in the 1980s were often covered in sheet vinyl, carpet or small tile. Taking any of it up starts with one question: is it the layer that came with the house, and could it hold asbestos? That is why the age of the house is a first question here.
Mechanicsville: floors from the 1980s on
Find out what is down there
A floor of sheet vinyl over plywood over joists is a different job from a slab with old tile on it. Photograph a floor edge or a vent opening to show the layers.
Test before you break
Older flooring and the glue under it can hold asbestos in some homes. Testing comes before sanding, scraping or breaking.
Floor height at the door
Tile plus its base can add enough height to catch a door or a dishwasher. Measure the clearance before choosing tile thickness.
Wood or concrete under the room
Joists need a stiff, flat subfloor, and a slab needs a look at its cracks. Both can take tile with the right prep.

Mechanicsville: ask Hanover County about floors
The county office for Mechanicsville is Hanover’s Building Inspector’s Office, at 7516 County Complex Road in Hanover.
The county pages we read do not list which jobs need no permit, so they say nothing on floor tile by itself. They do require an asbestos certificate on renovation of a structure built before January 1, 1985, which is worth knowing before an old floor is taken up.

We love our new kitchen tile backsplash! Working with Bencke’s was a great experience, from the start with good communication and professionalism to the finish with a beautiful job well done!
Gabriel came by to give an estimate on doing tile work and was very thorough in articulating his approach, timeline and cost. He gave a wonderful idea to put a marble counter ledge which turned out really beautiful. He was so quick in starting the project and kept everything so clean with protecting furniture surround the bathroom. His crew were so polite and did an amazing job. I’m so grateful for them completing this so quickly. Gabriel went above and beyond to get everything done quickly but also with excellence. I would highly recommend him and his crew!
We needed an access panel for our tile bathtub and Gabriel was able to give us a quick estimate. He delivered flawlessly and we are very happy!
I can't say enough about Gabriel and his team. I put in an emergency request for kitchen and bathroom tile repairs/replacements on a Tuesday, and they were out fixing it and doing an amazing job by Thursday!! Highly recommend. Can't say enough good things! Thank you!
Frequently asked questions
Don’t see your question? Call or write and we will answer it.
Not until it is tested. Some old vinyl and its glue contain asbestos. A lab test tells you, and the county asks for a certificate on renovation in homes built before 1985.
Tile plus the layers under it add height, and the total depends on the tile and the prep. Door clearance is measured at the estimate.
Yes. An entry is one of the standard floor tile jobs. A matte or textured tile with a stain-resistant grout holds up best.
