Local services in the New River Valley
The New River Valley sits in southwest Virginia along one of the oldest rivers in the world. Roughly 180,000 people live across Montgomery, Pulaski, Giles and Floyd counties and the City of Radford, anchored by Virginia Tech in Blacksburg and Radford University in Radford. It is a region of university towns, small manufacturing, farms and mountain communities — where a service business might drive from a student rental turnover in Blacksburg to a well pump in Floyd County in the same afternoon.

Blacksburg
PrimaryMontgomery County · 44,826 residents

Christiansburg

The commercial center of Montgomery County. Newer subdivisions off Peppers Ferry and North Franklin drive most of the region's recurring maintenance and appliance repair volume.
Radford
PrimaryCity of Radford · 16,070 residents

Pulaski
PrimaryPulaski County · 8,829 residents

The Giles County seat, on the Appalachian Trail corridor above the New River. Older housing stock and mountain weather make gutter, roof and heating work seasonal priorities.

Narrows
Giles County · 2,000 residents
A river town in the gorge cut by the New River through Peters Mountain. Flood-aware properties and steep lots shape what kinds of work get done here.
