Located just outside Brevard near the entrance to Pisgah National Forest, Pisgah Forest is a natural extension of our Transylvania County service area. Steady Flame provides fireplaces, inserts, and chimney service to Pisgah Forest homeowners who face the challenges of living in one of the wettest areas in the eastern United States.
Pisgah Forest is propane country — gas hearths here run off an owner-owned or leased tank, which changes line sizing, regulator setup, and BTU planning compared to a natural-gas town. We install gas, wood, and electric fireplaces, inserts, and stoves in Pisgah Forest, and — unlike a showroom or a mason — we're licensed to run the gas line ourselves. Every combustion install is permitted and inspected through Transylvania County. Since Helene, more homeowners here treat a fireplace as backup heat that works when the grid doesn't.
Tile gives a fireplace crisp lines, color, and a designer edge, from handmade ceramic to porcelain, marble, or mosaic. Steady Flame Fireplaces designs and installs tile surrounds and hearths that fit the way your room actually looks and lives. We start by confirming the appliance and its listed clearances, then build a substrate that keeps the tile safe next to real heat. Whether your home runs on natural gas or propane, we size the hearth around the unit you choose.
What's Involved
Our NFI-certified team handles heat-rated backer board, thinset, tile, and grout, plus the trim and mantel transitions that make the finish look built-in rather than tacked on. Because we are a licensed gas-piping contractor, we can also run or relocate the gas line, install a Heat & Glo, Valor, or Regency appliance, and pull the permits North Carolina requires, all with one accountable crew. A well-planned tile fireplace pairs a clean, modern face with dependable, outage-proof heat, so a winter storm never leaves your family in the cold.
Heating Challenges in Pisgah Forest
Pisgah Forest shares Transylvania County's extreme rainfall — averaging 80+ inches per year — which is tough on masonry chimneys and outdoor fire features. Homes near the Davidson River and Pisgah National Forest are heavily shaded by mature canopy, keeping interiors cool and increasing the appeal of a warm fireplace, while debris from overhanging trees can collect on chimney caps and spark arrestors. Many properties here are older, with chimneys that benefit from a fresh liner or a sealed insert.
Seasonal Tip for Pisgah Forest Homeowners
Pisgah Forest's heavy tree canopy drops leaves and debris on chimney caps and outdoor fireplaces faster than in open areas. Keep your cap and spark arrestor clear, and schedule an annual chimney sweep each spring to keep your fireplace drafting safely.
