The month of October is a special time of year in the Tri-state area.
Nice temperatures in the Western Maryland area are in great supply even as the daylight hours continue to shrink. Every weekend for the foreseeable 
future is filled with opportunities to get out of the house and into the glorious autumn weather. Those off hours can be filled with all kinds of outdoor fun — or indoor concerts in you prefer — right up until the kids start putting on their costumes. Click on this link to see a list of the many events you and your family can enjoy. The main thing you need to do is to add “fall fun” to your current to-do list.
Another line item to add to that list is contacting the Mt. Tabor Builders‘ office if you plan to build in the Tri-state area in 2026. Here is a link to the their project gallery to motivate you.
Mt. Tabor’s recently completed projects
2025 has been a busy year for the Mt. Tabor Builders building professionals. Below are two projects that can inspire those looking for a top-rated company to design and build for them. The next few months is the best time to meet with builders in the Tri-state area. This allows time to start the ball rolling early in the new year.
Here are a few building projects from earlier this year.
This modern design with traditional accents was completed over the summer. The Mt. Tabor team is proud to showcase this custom project that features clean lines, large windows, an open floor plan and plenty of outdoor living space. Most of the exterior is steel — siding and roof — with contrasting black and white colors. Adding to that are the black Andersen windows and doors. The modern look is tempered by the natural wood accents found throughout the interior and in the Trex composite deck boards.
The master bathroom is practically a work of art. The custom tile shower and soaking tub, along with all of the beautiful features, can been seen in the Modern Vibes photo gallery.
The Mt. Tabor professionals also do whole-house renovations and additions. This type of work is displayed in this portfolio gallery. There you will see a home that looked like a chunk of coal and was turned into a diamond, thanks to Mt. Tabor‘s designers and renovation experts. Many clients love where they live. Many of those clients just want changes to the structure. The company representative spent many hours with this client, discussing exactly what they had and what they ultimately wanted in their home.
Do you want to do a home renovation or build a custom home in 2026? If so, add “meet with Mt. Tabor Builders” to your to-do list.
