Do fireplace showrooms keep units in stock, or is everything special-ordered?
In Swannanoa, where storm rebuilds are still underway, homeowners putting a fireplace back into a repaired house learn quickly that it's ordered to the job — sized to the opening, set for the fuel — not carried off a shelf. Our showroom units run for display. Everyday models come faster; most are built to your order.
Rebuilds are ordering fresh, so order it right
Recovery from storm damage has driven real demand for new fireplaces and stoves in rebuilt Swannanoa homes, and rebuilding is the ideal moment to order the appliance to the new firebox instead of inheriting an old compromise. The Grovemont area's 1940s-60s houses had original masonry fireplaces, and a rebuild lets you drop in a sealed gas insert or a Regency wood unit sized to the opening — the kind that keeps a house warm when the power's out, which this community has real reason to value. It's a made-to-order decision: your room, your fuel, your front, seen burning before you commit.
River-valley damp, Buncombe permit, close by
Swannanoa's river-valley fog, cold-air pooling, and damp air are hard on masonry chimneys, so we spec a fresh liner or protection where the flue needs it rather than assuming the old one is sound. On natural-gas mains here, we run NG, and as a licensed gas contractor we pull the Buncombe County permit, pressure-test the line, and meet the inspector. We're 15 minutes east, so once your special-ordered unit lands it's a quick, single install trip. Call (828) 545-0525.
