Shepherdstown is the oldest town in West Virginia (founded 1762) and one of the wealthiest small towns in our service area on a per-capita basis. The full-time population is small — around 1,700 in the town itself — but the population profile is unusual: ~3,000 Shepherd University students during the academic year, a large weekend tourist influx (the historic district + Bavarian Inn + Antietam Battlefield draw heavy visitor traffic), and a strong DC-commuter and federal-worker presence (the National Conservation Training Center is just outside town). That combination produces an outsized restoration market for a town this size, with a heavy bias toward higher-value insurance claims and short-term-rental rapid response. A material slice of the housing stock is short-term rental properties — Airbnbs, VRBO listings, B&Bs — that need post-incident cleaning, biohazard, and smoke/odor remediation on tight turnaround windows so the property can be back online for the next booking. Our STR-rapid-response capability is particularly relevant here. We respond into Shepherdstown from Hagerstown in about 35 minutes via WV-9 east. The route is straightforward and our techs know it well.
