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:

At ABC Fire Escape Painting, we don’t just paint over rust. We repair, restore, and weatherproof your fire escape for long-term durability
