We work with property owners and managers to protect fire escapes on commercial and residential buildings across New York City. Our focus is long-term protection, code compliance, and structural preservation for iron systems exposed to harsh urban conditions, weather, and aging.
Our services include fire escape inspection, installation, painting, welding, restoration and repair, LPC-compliant refinishing, and DOB documentation support. We approach every project with careful assessment, proper preparation, and coating systems to extend the life of aging steel and ironwork.
We proudly serve properties across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx and help owners maintain durable DOB, FISP, and LPC-compliant fire escape systems that withstand time, weather, and inspection.
NYC Fire Escape Painting is known for its 20 years of unwavering service, disciplined process, and commitment to doing the job right the first time.
“To transform how fire escape preservation is done in this city from routine maintenance to thoughtful, safety-first craftsmanship that stands the test of time.”
Our founders saw firsthand how standard paint jobs masked deeper corrosion, offering only temporary cosmetic coverups. They knew NYC’s unique climate from brutal freeze, thaw cycles to corrosive urban pollutants that demand industrial-grade solutions. They have assembled a team of licensed professionals with a blend of technical mastery and understanding of NYC’s historic fabric.
We work on NYC’s pre-war cast iron and wrought iron fire escapes in landmark districts and dense residential buildings. Our team follows DOB inspection standards and LPC requirements for every project and addresses corrosion at its source.
We undertake every project in accordance with industry best practices and execute it with meticulous attention to detail. Our crew uses premium coating systems, correct surface preparation, and advanced rust mitigation to deliver long-lasting protection.
We show you the exact condition of your fire escape, with photos and a clear scope of work before it begins. You get honest pricing and complete documentation that meet DOB and Local Law 11 compliance requirements.
At NYC Fire Escape Painting, we follow a specific roadmap for your cproject completion, thesteps include
We inspect the full structure in person; documenting rust, joint integrity, coating failure, and any code deficiencies with photos before a single tool is picked up.
We treat all corroded surfaces at the source, remove loose material, treat rust, and prime properly because no coating lasts on a surface that isn't ready.
We apply industrial-grade coating systems in the correct sequence for the specific metal, exposure level, and building classification; not a one-size-fits-all paint job.
We back all completed projects with full compliance report, before-and-after photos, and DOB-ready paperwork; so your records are clean when inspection day comes.
