Professional Custom Fire Pit Installation in Asheville, NC
Based right here in Asheville, Steady Flame Fireplaces is your neighborhood hearth team for custom fire pit installation. Steady Flame Fireplaces has been the licensed hearth team that Asheville area homeowners trust since 2005.
As our home base since 2005, Steady Flame Fireplaces has proudly served Asheville homeowners and businesses with expert fireplace sales and service. From the historic hearths in Montford to new construction in South Asheville, we know the unique fireplace and outdoor-living needs of every Asheville neighborhood. Our local office means fast response times anywhere in the city.
Outdoor living is a year-round draw in Asheville — mild shoulder seasons and cool mountain evenings make a fire feature the heart of a patio. Asheville sits on a natural-gas main, so most gas fireplaces, inserts, and log sets here tie straight into utility gas — no tank to fill and no propane regulator to set. We build outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, and the gas lines that feed them, permitted through Buncombe County and engineered for WNC weather.
When a catalog fire pit won't match your patio or your vision, Steady Flame designs one from scratch. Custom builds let you choose the shape — round, square, linear, or a long entertaining trough — along with the materials, height, and burner style that fit how you actually gather. We match the finish to your home's stone, brick, or modern concrete so the pit reads as part of the architecture, not an add-on.
What's Involved
Every custom project starts with a design conversation and a look at your space, fuel source, and seating layout. We spec the burner and BTU output for the flame you want, engineer the base and enclosure, and — for gas or propane models — run and pressure-test the line under our contractor's license. From glass media and lava rock to custom stone caps, we sweat the details and pull every required permit so your finished pit is both stunning and fully to code.
Heating Challenges in Asheville
Asheville's mix of historic homes in Montford and North Asheville — many built with original masonry fireplaces and chimneys — creates unique hearth restoration challenges. These older fireboxes often need new liners, gas conversions, or high-efficiency inserts to burn safely and heat evenly. Meanwhile, newer South Asheville construction is ideal for clean-face gas fireplaces and modern wood-burning designs that become the centerpiece of the room.
Seasonal Tip for Asheville Homeowners
Asheville's elevation means nighttime temperatures can drop into the 20s even in early spring. We recommend a professional fireplace and chimney inspection through April, and scheduling any gas log or insert installation by mid-fall so your hearth is ready before the first cold snap.
