Will the installers remove and haul away my old fireplace or stove?
Yes — Fletcher replacements include pulling the old unit and hauling it off, in homes and commercial spaces alike. Plenty of the 1990s subdivisions here have builder-grade fireboxes ready to retire, and along the I-26 corridor we handle commercial work too. We disconnect and cap the natural-gas line the licensed way, free the old appliance, and load it out. No separate haul charge.
Builder-grade boxes and commercial jobs
Fletcher's 1990s subdivisions came with basic builder-grade fireplaces that many owners are now upgrading, and the airport and I-26 corridor add steady commercial demand you don't see in the surrounding residential towns. Both remove the same way. Sitting on the natural-gas mains, Fletcher jobs start with shutting off and capping the gas line — licensed work in North Carolina — before the old unit comes out. That's the line no showroom or general contractor can legally connect or cap, and the reason removal and install stay with our crew.
Permit, inspector, and the haul south
For the new install we pull the Henderson County permit and meet the inspector — which matters as much on a commercial job as a home, where documented gas work protects the property and its coverage. We're about twenty minutes south of Emma Rd, so the old insert, box, or log set and the demo debris go back with us in one trip. As always, a full masonry teardown is the exception; pulling out the brick structure itself is a mason's job, and we'll say so before install day.
Keeping the old unit
If a removed unit still has life, tell us before we arrive and we'll set it aside clean rather than haul it off. Call (828) 545-0525 with questions about your Fletcher project.
