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.

Goochland showers, from Manakin-Sabot to Sandy Hook
The Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey gives Goochland County a median build year of 2000, give or take two years. The county has 11,208 homes. The 2000s are the biggest decade, at 23.7 percent, 21.6 percent were built before 1980, and 12.7 percent before 1970.
About one home in five is older than 1980. In those, the shower may be a tub with tile walls, or an early stall on a mortar floor. In the rest, the questions are about layout and finish, and about the water.
Goochland: wells, water tests and the shower glass
Wells for most of the county
The county’s water supply plan says most residents are supplied by private wells. The plan is older and the county has grown, so treat it as the shape of things and not as a count.
No county figure for minerals
The county’s water reports we read do not print a hardness number. A well differs from house to house, so a water test tells you more than any county average.
Glass and finish by your water
If your water leaves marks, a squeegee helps most. Polished fixtures show spots first, and brushed finishes hide them better.
Owners decide
The Census counts 84.9 percent of occupied Goochland homes as owner-occupied, so the tile, the pattern and the glass are usually the owner’s call.
Showers we have set, to hold up against your own
Who to call in Goochland about a permit
Goochland County Building Inspection, part of Community Development, is at 1800 Sandy Hook Road in Goochland.
The county’s exemptions page names repair of flooring, interior wall coverings, plaster or tile, and same-for-same replacement of plumbing equipment. Changing or adding piping is not exempt. A full shower rebuild is bigger than a repair, so ask the office how yours counts.

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!

Our map puts the county seat about 27 miles from Richmond in a straight line, and the estimate is free in Goochland too.
A test helps you pick glass and a finish that fit your water. It is not a requirement for the estimate.
It can. The county says changing or adding piping is not exempt, so call Building Inspection before the work is planned.
Someone looks at the shower at the free estimate. A house from that decade is likelier to have a stall than a tub with tile walls.
