Does the fireplace company pull the permit, or do I have to?
We handle the permit — you don't. Marshall's steep hillside lots and narrow downtown built against the mountainside make for tricky installs, but the paperwork is straightforward on our end: Steady Flame files with Madison County under our gas license, arranges the inspection, and meets the inspector, whatever the terrain does to the chimney routing.
Tight lots, careful venting, clean permit
The French Broad gorge brings cool, damp evenings, and Marshall's tight mountainside lots complicate chimney routing and draft in ways flat-lot towns never see. That's exactly why a permitted, inspected install matters here — the inspector confirms the clearances and the venting are right for a home wedged against the slope. Madison County is your jurisdiction, and we file there under our license, so the challenging part of the job stays on our side of the ledger, not yours.
Licensed to file, licensed to connect
In North Carolina, gas piping is licensed work, and the same license that lets us connect the fuel is the one the permit rides on. Those two things travel together for a reason: if a company asks you to pull the permit yourself, it usually means they hold neither. Keep it on the licensed contractor.
