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.

One big county, many kinds of kitchen
The U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey for 2020 to 2024 puts the median Hanover County home at 1991, give or take two years. The county has 44,589 homes. Of those, 32.2 percent were built before 1980, and 18.9 percent before 1970.
Hanover includes Mechanicsville, Ashland, Atlee, Doswell, Beaverdam and Old Church, so one page cannot describe every kitchen. The age of your house and what is on the wall decide the work, not the name on the road sign.
Hanover County: what changes from one kitchen to the next
Many ages in one county
About a third of the homes date from before 1980, and the 1990s are the largest decade, with 20.5 percent. Two houses in the same county can ask for different prep.
County water or a well
Hanover’s main water system, called Suburban, draws on the James River through the Richmond and Henrico plants and on the North Anna River. Several rural neighborhoods run on their own deep-well systems instead.
If you are on a well
Well water may carry iron or other minerals that mark grout. Mention the well, and any filter or softener, at the free estimate.
A house from the 1990s or later
Walls are likely flat drywall, so the choice comes down to the look. Pick the countertop first, then the tile.
High owner share
The Census counts 82.1 percent of occupied homes in Hanover County as owner-occupied. For most households, tile and grout are the owner’s call.

Who to call in Hanover about a permit
Hanover County’s Building Inspector’s Office is at 7516 County Complex Road. It handles building permits for the county, Mechanicsville included.
For work on a house built before January 1, 1985, the county asks for an asbestos certificate with a permit application. The building page does not list which jobs need a permit, so ask before you plan.

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.
Yes. Hanover County is on our list, and Mechanicsville is a main area. On our service-area map, the county seat is about 16 miles from the point for Richmond, in a straight line.
It can. Iron and other minerals in well water may mark grout over time. Tell us about the well, and about any filter, when you ask for the estimate.
Hanover’s building page asks for an asbestos certificate with a permit application for work on a house built before January 1, 1985. Ask the Building Inspector’s Office whether your backsplash needs a permit at all.
Behind a gas range the wall gets hotter and greasier, so pick a tile and a grout you can scrub. Tell us what kind of range you have, and we will keep it in mind for the wall.
