The short answer
Reidsville has a median build year of 1978 across its housing. That is late enough for copper and early enough for polybutylene in places, which is why the pattern of the symptom is worth establishing before anybody is called out.

Reidsville has 16,016 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1978 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.
What this site is

Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. We do not perform plumbing work, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.Reidsville sits 9 years older than the NC median of 1987. Of the 190 NC towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 86% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 32nd.
What 1978 tells you about the pipe in Reidsville
Housing of this vintage generally means copper as the usual supply material, so corrosion narrowing the pipe is far less likely. In houses of this era a whole-house pressure drop points at the pressure-reducing valve, the main shut-off, or the supply side of the meter rather than at the pipe itself. More on 1970s supply pipe.
75% of occupied homes in Reidsville are owner-occupied, 11 points above the NC figure of 64%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
