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.

Glen Allen kitchens from the 1990s
The Census draws its own line around Glen Allen, and it is smaller than the mailing area. Inside it, the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey for 2020 to 2024 puts the median home at about 1993, give or take two years. The 1990s are the biggest decade, with 29.5 percent of the homes, and 19.9 percent were built before 1980.
A kitchen from the 1990s is old enough for its original finishes to look dated, and young enough that the wall behind them is often in good shape. That makes a new backsplash a clean swap more often than a repair job.
Glen Allen kitchens: what usually matters
Dated, not damaged
The backsplash from the original build may be plain or busy. The wall under it is often fine, so the job is more about the new look than about repairs.
Places inside the Census line
The Census area takes in all or part of Hunton, Greenwood, Longdale, Holly Glen Estates, Biltmore and Yellow Tavern. If your street is outside that line but your address says Glen Allen, the same advice applies.
Water from the county
Glen Allen sits in Henrico County, whose water department reports an average of 64 milligrams of hardness per liter, about 4 grains per gallon. That figure is for the county’s treated water, not a reading taken in your kitchen.
Owners who stay
The Census counts 75.9 percent of occupied homes in the Glen Allen area as owner-occupied. People who plan to stay usually weigh how easy a surface is to clean before they weigh the trend.
Backsplash work to compare with your own kitchen
Who to call in Glen Allen about a permit
Glen Allen sits in Henrico County, so permits go through the county’s Department of Building Construction and Inspections, at 4301 East Parham Road.
Henrico’s page requires a permit for work on the water supply, drains or vents, and for removing or disturbing asbestos-containing material. It does not say whether tile alone needs one. The Permit Center can answer for your kitchen.

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.
Most of Glen Allen is in Henrico County, but the mailing area also reaches into Hanover County. Check your county tax bill, or give us your street and we will help you sort it out.
Yes. On our service-area map the point for Glen Allen is about 10 miles from the point for Richmond, in a straight line. The estimate is free and in your home.
Only if the old surface is flat, solid and well stuck. A 1990s backsplash is often a good base, but glossy or uneven tile may not be. We look at it at the estimate.
Light subway tile works with most cabinets from that period, and a herringbone or hexagon panel behind the range adds a focal point. Choose the countertop first, since the two have to look right together.
