Mt. Tabor recently built a timber pergola and pavilion creating a backyard oasis for a client

This handcrafted timber frame pavilion and pergola combination was completed in time to turn summer into a retreat center for one family.

“The finished pavilion and pergola exceeded our expectations and perfectly brought our vision to life,” said the owner of this final piece to this elegant outdoor living space.

“We especially appreciated the clear communication and collaboration with Mt. Tabor’s team of professionals throughout each phase of the project. Their attention to detail, responsiveness and commitment to quality made the entire experience enjoyable and rewarding.”

Much of the project fell on the craftsmen in Mt. Tabor’s timber frame shop. Having those craftsmen work directly with the company’s designers, builders, foreman and client is why Mt. Tabor Founder and President Willie Eby said this about creating the in-house shop several years ago.

“Every cut of a heavy timber takes precision and accuracy. An experienced timber tech is essential to tight fitting joints and attention to details for the perfectly stunning finished product.”

Those words are evident in the pergola and pavilion project images at this link. You can read more about the Mt. Tabor timber frame shop here.

Mt. Tabor’s home improvement and repair services

The Mid-Atlantic states are having a quiet storm season so far in 2026. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the next three months (until November 1st) are usually the most active. Is your roof ready? Are your gutters able to handle major downpours from sustained rains? It’s important that storm water stays out of your house, whether from above or through a functioning gutter and downspout system.

If you aren’t confident in your aging building materials, the Mt. Tabor Builders team can replace your roof and gutters to make sure you and your family weather storms for years to come. They use a high-quality shingle system that stays in place during high winds, ensuring your interior remains dry.

The GAF Shingle System is one of the best on the market. The system includes a high-quality underlayment for added protection between the wood sheathing and shingles. It also is a 6-nail shingle system. This system allows Mt. Tabor and GAF to offer a lifetime warranty to withstand winds of up to 130 miles per hour. It’s also fungus resistant, adding to its beauty and durability over the years to come.

More details about GAF Shingle products can be found on the company’s website found at https://www.gaf.com.

Other home upgrades to consider during storm season are new windows and doors. Blowing rain — not to mention the coming winter temperatures — can sneak past old windows and doors. Contact a Mt. Tabor Builder representative to learn more about replacement windows and exterior door options.
