Tucker County's seat, on the Cheat River
Parsons is the county seat of Tucker County, set along the Cheat River about 25 miles northeast of Elkins via WV-72 and Corridor H (US-48). It is the gateway to some of West Virginia's best-known mountain country — Blackwater Falls State Park, Canaan Valley, and Dolly Sods are all a short drive away. That also means Parsons and the surrounding river communities see real winter: cold snaps, heavy snow, and long heating seasons where the fireplace or wood stove earns its keep.
We run scheduled Tucker County service days covering Parsons, Thomas, Davis, and the Canaan Valley area. Homes here range from in-town houses along the river to cabins and A-frames up toward the state park — and the chimney issues are familiar: creosote from long burn seasons, aging masonry, and older flues never meant for modern stoves. Book on a county service day and the pricing is the same as in Elkins.
