Steady Flame Fireplaces has been the licensed hearth team that Barnardsville area homeowners trust since 2005.

Barnardsville is a rural mountain community tucked into the Big Ivy watershed at the foot of the Craggy Mountains and the Coleman Boundary of Pisgah National Forest. Homesteads, farmhouses, and off-the-grid cabins are spread up hollows and along creeks where the power lines are the last to be restored after a storm. Natural gas doesn't reach out here, so nearly every hearth runs on propane, cordwood, or both. Helene's flooding and washouts hit these valleys hard, and residents now treat a reliable propane or wood-burning fireplace as essential backup heat, not a luxury.

A fireplace or stove is only as safe as the chimney and venting behind it. Steady Flame inspects, sweeps, relines, caps, and repairs chimneys and vents throughout Barnardsville and Buncombe County — clearing creosote and blockages, correcting draft problems, and making sure every flue draws cleanly. Where the job calls for it, we permit and inspect the work through Buncombe County. A sound chimney is exactly what lets Barnardsville homeowners rely on a wood or gas fireplace as real heat all winter — including when a storm takes the power down.

When a chimney cap rusts through, loses its mesh, or gets torn loose by wind and falling limbs, the flue below is suddenly exposed to weather and wildlife. A failing cap is often the first domino in a chain of moisture damage inside the chimney. Steady Flame repairs caps that are still worth saving — reattaching loose fasteners, replacing corroded or missing spark-arrestor screen, and straightening frames bent by storms.
