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: a county of homes built around 2000
Census figures for 2020 to 2024 give Goochland County 11,208 homes and a median build year of 2000, give or take two years. The 2000s make up 23.7 percent of the homes, and 21.6 percent were built before 1980. Before 1970, it is 12.7 percent.
Most walls here are drywall from the last quarter century. The tub surround and the laundry wall are where tile does the most work, and the base behind them decides how long it lasts. The older fifth of the county’s homes is where plaster, paneling or old tile may still be on the wall.
Goochland: tile jobs and what is around them
Water from a well
Most of the county sits outside the public water lines, according to the county’s supply plan, so a well and a filter are often part of a house. Minerals in well water can mark grout, and a forgiving grout color helps.
A tall wall
Any tile wall that runs floor to ceiling shows dips in the wall, so it is checked with a straightedge before tile is chosen.
Mudroom and laundry walls
Wet coats, boots and a washer make these rooms hard on paint. Tile on the lower wall wipes clean.
The older fifth
About one Goochland home in five dates from before 1980. In those, old tile may be set in mortar or on plaster, which changes how it comes off.
A look at tile we have set
Goochland: the exemptions page names tile
Building permits in Goochland come from the county’s Building Inspection office, in Community Development, on Sandy Hook Road.
Its exemptions page lists repair of interior wall coverings, plaster or tile as work that needs no permit, and it lists floor coverings. Work that changes wiring, pipes or ducts is on the other side of that line. A new wall of tile is not quite a repair, so ask 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!

Goochland is on our list of places we serve. Our map puts the county about 26.6 miles from the point for Richmond, in a straight line, and the estimate is free.
It names repair of interior wall coverings, plaster or tile. A new installation may not fit the word repair, so ask Building Inspection how yours counts.
The caulk line at the tub edge and the grout at the corners. Those wear first. A soft spot below them is the thing to flag.
