About Boston Fire Escapes

Built on Experience. Strengthened by the Right Partnerships.

Fire escape work requires more than metalwork. It requires experience, technical judgment, dependable documentation, and the ability to coordinate the right professionals when a project becomes complex.

Boston Fire Escapes was built around one simple idea: fire escape work requires more than metalwork. It requires experience, technical judgment, dependable documentation, and the ability to coordinate the right professionals when a project becomes complex.

Our team brings more than 20 years of combined experience working with exterior steel structures, fire escapes, structural repairs, fabrication, restoration, and commercial properties throughout Massachusetts.

Over the years, we have worked with property managers, building owners, contractors, condominium associations, and commercial organizations that need more than a quick repair. They need a company that understands the entire process — from the first inspection to documentation, repair planning, corrective work, final verification, and certification support.

That is why Boston Fire Escapes was developed as more than a traditional contractor.

We operate through a network of experienced professionals and established industry partners throughout Massachusetts. These relationships allow us to bring additional engineering, fabrication, installation, permitting, and repair expertise into a project whenever the scope requires it.

For our clients, that means one point of coordination with access to a much broader level of capability.

Whether we are helping a property manager coordinate certification for a single Boston building or supporting a larger commercial project requiring structural repairs, fabrication, and professional oversight, our approach remains the same:

Understand the condition. Document it clearly. Build the right team. Complete the work properly.

More than an inspection

A report without a path forward is not enough.

An inspection is often only the first step. If a fire escape is in acceptable condition, our goal is to help move the property efficiently through the appropriate certification and documentation process under Massachusetts and City of Boston expectations.

Acceptable condition

Help the property move efficiently through the appropriate certification and documentation process.

Deficiencies found

We do not leave owners with a report and no solution. We help coordinate repair proposals, corrective work, verification, and certification support.

One accountable path

Especially valuable for property managers and commercial clients who need reliable coordination and clear accountability.

Certified and functional

Paperwork alone is not the product. The fire escape must be able to perform as a life-safety system when people need it.

Built for commercial properties

Experience beyond small residential projects.

These clients require professional communication, scheduling, documentation, safety procedures, permitting awareness, and dependable execution. Boston Fire Escapes is structured to meet those expectations.

Property management companies

Portfolio scheduling, documentation, and clear next steps across active buildings.

Commercial property owners

Inspection, repair coordination, and certification support with accountable communication.

Multifamily operators

Exterior egress work planned around occupied buildings and operational realities.

Condominium associations

Clear findings and repair paths boards and managers can act on.

General contractors & developers

Coordination when fire escape scope intersects broader project work.

Universities & facilities teams

Institutional expectations for safety procedures, documentation, and scheduling.

Local experience. Expanded capability.

The right people for each project.

No single company should pretend to be the expert in every discipline.

Our strength is knowing the work, understanding the process, and having relationships with experienced professionals who can be brought into a project when specialized expertise is required.

That network allows Boston Fire Escapes to support projects ranging from routine five-year inspections to extensive structural repairs, restoration, fabrication, and complete fire escape replacement.

More than 20 years of experience have taught us that the best results come from combining technical knowledge, skilled workmanship, professional oversight, and the right people for each project.

That is the standard behind Boston Fire Escapes.
