Why Fire Escape Painting Is Essential in NYC
New York City’s weather is tough on steel. Rain, snow, salt, and temperature swings cause fire escapes to rust, peel, and weaken over time. An unsafe fire escape isn’t just a liability — it’s a danger to tenants and can result in inspection failures and fines.
A rusty fire escape can fail DOB inspection instantly, but our repair and painting process restores strength, safety, and compliance before it becomes a costly problem.
That’s why fire escape painting is more than cosmetic. A proper job:
- Stops rust and corrosion before they spread
- Reinforces metal with protective coatings
- Extends the lifespan of your fire escape by years
- Ensures compliance with NYC DOB & Local Law 11
- Keeps residents safe in case of emergency

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often should fire escapes be painted in NYC?
Fire escapes should be painted every 5–7 years depending on exposure. Buildings near the waterfront may require painting more frequently due to salt corrosion.
What type of paint is used for fire escapes?
We use industrial-grade, corrosion-resistant paint designed for outdoor steel structures in NYC’s climate.
Do I need an inspection before repainting my fire escape?
Yes. A proper inspection ensures that welding, repairs, or bolt replacements are completed before painting — this prevents future failures.
How much does fire escape painting cost in NYC?
Costs depend on the fire escape’s size, condition, and accessibility. On average, painting ranges from $1,500 to $5,000, with restoration or welding adding additional costs.
