The Mt. Tabor Builders staff hopes you have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend!
Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer, signaling that fall is on it’s way. Pumpkin treats are available and Halloween decorations are in every retail 
outlet. The Mt. Tabor staff members hope you enjoyed summer and will have an incredible fall season, leading up to the holidays. As the warm days give way to cool nights, it’s a great time to think about your living situation in 2026. The Mt. Tabor representatives love to brainstorm with potential clients about their dream home. That could include building a new custom home, OR it could be a renovation, major home improvement project or an addition, like an outdoor living space.
Other things the Mt. Tabor staff loves is Labor Day trivia — perhaps an overstatement — AND nice words about their work. You will find both below.
Most people know that Labor Day in the United States is celebrated on the first Monday in September, however, many probably don’t realize that the day honors the American labor movement. It’s a little confusing since labor actually stops for many on this holiday. The labor movement brought strength and prosperity to The United States, because the country’s industrial sector began thriving in the late 19th Century.
This year’s Labor Day holiday is on Monday, September 1st.

Nice words about Mt. Tabor’s labor on Labor Day weekend
The Mt. Tabor Builders staff loves to hear great feedback about their work. It makes them feel good, because they know that they have exceeded expectations of their trusting clients. Here are a few words from several, who trusted the Mt. Tabor construction experts to provide excellent work and all-around service during the building process.
From Nazia and Zubaid of Inwood, WV
“Integrity was really important. Transparency was really important,” says Zubaid, who also talked to former Mt. Tabor clients before choosing a builder.
Nazia was impressed with the communication and flexibility with Mt. Tabor’s superintendent (Shawn), as she offered input on the kitchen design, which has a West Coast influence. “Shawn never told us ‘We can’t do that,’” Nazia says. “His response was ‘We’ve haven’t done that before but let me see.’”
Nazia says all of this added up to a building process that left her and Zubaid with the house they wanted and the experience they hoped for when they signed the contract.
“We’ve had some friends that went through a building process and were so done with their contractor at the end,” Nazia adds. “We definitely did not feel that way.”
“We chose Mt. Tabor Builders for our new vacation home based on solid recommendations from family, our realtor and other reliable references. We’re so glad we did. Our experience with Mt. Tabor has been extraordinarily positive so far. From our first meetings through the design and bid process, Willie and Royce Eby have been professional, friendly, helpful and, most importantly, communicative.
“Their work is top-notch, and they provide step-by-step details on what to expect as we move forward. We’re looking forward to having Mt. Tabor construct our vacation getaway in the West Virginia mountains!” — Bob and Robin of Greencastle, PA
