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.

Mechanicsville: walls from the 1980s and 90s
Inside the Census line for Mechanicsville, the 2020 to 2024 survey gives a median build year of 1990, give or take two years, across 15,947 homes. The 1980s are the largest decade at 20.0 percent, and 30.9 percent of the homes date from before 1980.
A tub wall from the 1980s is often a hall bath with tile that has been wiped down ever since. Behind it, the question is whether the drywall stayed dry. Newer parts of the area have baths where tile covers only the tub and the floor, so tile on a second wall can be new rather than a replacement.
Mechanicsville: tile jobs by wall
Hall bath, tub wall
Tile that has been up for decades can be tired in the grout and fine in the field. A close look decides between new grout and a reset.
The laundry wall
A wall that takes steam and splashes wants tile and a base that suits it, not paint over drywall.

Mechanicsville: ask Hanover County
Mechanicsville is in Hanover County, whose Building Inspector’s Office is at 7516 County Complex Road in Hanover.
County application rules ask for an asbestos certificate when a structure built before January 1, 1985 is renovated. At least 30.9 percent of the homes here predate 1980, so the date matters. The pages we read do not say whether wall tile alone needs a permit, so the Building Inspector’s Office is the one to ask.

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.
Hanover County asks for one on renovation work in structures built before January 1, 1985. Whether your tile job counts as that kind of work is a question for the Building Inspector’s Office.
Yes. Mechanicsville is one of our main areas, with Henrico and Chesterfield, and the estimate is free at your home.
It can be. A crack at a corner is often movement, and sometimes water has reached the wall behind. At the estimate someone presses the wall and looks at how the corner was finished.
Yes. A single wall by a tub, a washer or a stove is regular tile work. Photograph the wall with a tape measure in the picture before the visit.
