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.

Chester: a 1990 median with a wide margin
In the Census line for Chester, the 2020 to 2024 survey gives a median build year of 1990, give or take three years, across 9,829 homes. The 1980s are the largest decade at 19.1 percent, and 30.3 percent of the homes were built before 1980.
The margin is wide because the area mixes older homes with newer ones. In an older Chester house the tile may have been up for decades, and the first job is to see what it hides. In a newer one the wall is drywall, and the first question is how well it was protected from water.
Chester: walls that take tile
A tub wall with a crack
A vertical crack in tub tile can follow the joint of the board behind it. It tells us where the wall moved.
A splash wall by a utility sink
A wall behind a utility sink in a basement or garage room peels in paint. Tile holds up where paint does not.
The kitchen wall too
A kitchen wall can get tile as well. Our Chester backsplash page covers that strip in detail.
Owners at 71.3 percent
The Census counts 71.3 percent of occupied homes in the Chester area as owner-occupied, which leaves roughly three in ten as rentals, where the owner has to say yes to tile.
Tile work, to set beside your plans
Chester: Chesterfield County sets the rules
Chester is part of Chesterfield County and has no building office of its own. Permit questions go to the county’s Building Inspection office, at 9800 Government Center Parkway.
The county’s published examples of work without a permit mention new floor coverings and new fixtures but not wall tile. A permit is needed when a wall is moved, added or removed. A plain retile is one to confirm by phone.

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.
Chester is a community inside Chesterfield County. Both pages lead to the same county office, and the estimate is the same, free and at your home.
Around the tub edge and at the corners, where caulk and grout move with the house. That is where the estimate visit starts.
Not as it stands. A wall has to be flat for tile to look straight, so high spots come down and low spots are built out first.
