What stands out here
Roanoke County, not the city at its centre, holds the largest share of this market: 149 firms against 67 within Roanoke city. The postal name tilts the same way. Of the 153 addresses that read Roanoke, 86 fall in the county rather than the city. Salem, at 59 firms, is the next most common town on the licences.
Family names cluster in one place. Of the 13 firm names with a family marker, 6 belong to Franklin County firms; that county counts 108 firms in all and ranks second by size, and its leading town is Rocky Mount, with 41. A cluster like that hands a caller a short list of likely founders to start with.
Firms here combine trades more often than in the bigger Virginia samples. 101 of the 377, 27 percent, list at least two of electrical, HVAC and plumbing, against 16 percent around Richmond and 20 percent for Virginia Beach; a full set of all three sits with 53. Electrical licences tie the list together: 230 firms hold one and 142 hold nothing else.
Licence tiers split three ways: Class A covers 193 firms (51 percent), Class B 83 and Class C 101, and 90 of the Class C firms work in a single trade. The town map is dense rather than scattered: just 3 of the 23 towns have a lone firm. One caution on the county figures above: 84 of the 377 rows, 22 percent, carry a ZIP code split between counties, so the county printed for those firms is the likelier one rather than a certainty.
The two smallest jurisdictions on the list, Botetourt County and Craig County, hold 53 firms between them, fewer than the 59 firms with a Salem address.

Licences without one of those three specialties, individual tradespeople and expired licences are left out.
How to read this
- One amber square per firm: Roanoke County has the longest row at 149, Craig County the shortest at 11.
- All 377 are marked owner not yet identified on November 10, 2026. Unknown does not mean independent.
What has not been done yet
- No ownership research on the 377 firms, no website read, no revenue or owner age.
- County comes from the ZIP code: 84 of the 377 firms sit in a ZIP shared by two jurisdictions, so theirs is the likeliest match.
