Yes — Fletcher estimates are free, for homes and businesses alike. A lot of the 1990s subdivisions here came with builder-grade fireboxes that owners now want turned into real, warming units, while the I-26 and airport corridor keeps us quoting commercial spaces too. We come out, assess what's there, and hand over written numbers at no cost.
From builder-grade to real heat
The builder-grade fireplace that came with a 1990s Fletcher home was usually chosen for looks and price, not heat, and a lot of owners eventually want more from it. The free assessment is where we figure out the upgrade path — sometimes a better sealed gas unit, sometimes an insert that finally makes the firebox earn its keep. What's possible depends on the existing venting and framing, which is exactly why we come look rather than quote blind. The evaluation and the written numbers cost nothing.
Commercial spaces get the same free look
Fletcher's stretch of the I-26 corridor near the airport generates more commercial fireplace and outdoor-feature work than most towns its size — lobbies, patios, gathering spaces. Those jobs carry their own considerations around venting, clearances, and gas capacity, and we assess them on site the same way we do a home, at no charge. Whether it's a business or a house, you get real figures in writing to plan around.
On the gas main, still worth a visit
Fletcher sits on the natural-gas main, which simplifies fuel but doesn't remove the need to see the space — the line still has to reach your firebox, and how far it travels moves the number. We pull the Henderson County permit, run and pressure-test the line, and meet the inspector; connecting gas is licensed work a showroom can't legally do. We're twenty minutes south with no trip charge. Call (828) 545-0525 for a free quote.
