Why wood stove installation matters in Old Northwood
A wood stove needs correct clearances, a code liner, and proper venting to run safely, and a professional install is what keeps the heat it throws off the surrounding floor and walls.
Old Northwood — 1920s frame cottages and bungalows north of the historic district — sits inland of the open coast, so while it is spared the worst of the salt air, the South Florida basics still drive every wood stove installation: year-round humidity that keeps masonry damp long after rain, and hurricane-season wind that opens crown and flashing gaps overnight. We run the same route across Old Northwood and the wider West Palm Beach area, including South End West Palm Beach and Downtown West Palm Beach.
