What we sell

A certified, functional fire escape is a life-safety system.

Boston Fire Escapes sells safety and code-aligned exterior egress—not decorative ironwork. Inspection, repair, and certification exist so your fire escape can perform in an emergency and satisfy Massachusetts and City of Boston requirements.

Life safety first

A fire escape is an emergency exit. If it fails under load, tenants, residents, and first responders lose a critical way out.

Certified under code

Boston and Massachusetts expect applicable exterior egress systems to be inspected, documented, and kept within the current City and state process—not left to guesswork.

Functional, not cosmetic

Paint alone does not make a fire escape safe. Treads, landings, rails, anchors, and connections must actually work when people need them.

Documented for owners & managers

Inspection findings, repair scopes, and certification support give owners, boards, buyers, lenders, and property managers a clear compliance trail.

If the structure is unsafe, it cannot honestly be treated as certified. If it is certified on paper but cannot carry people in an emergency, it has failed its purpose. We connect field condition, repair when required, and documentation under the applicable code path.

For property teams

A compliance workflow that puts egress safety first.

Commercial fire escape work has more stakeholders than a residential repair: ownership, property management, tenants, facilities, inspectors, engineers, and contractors. The product is still the same—certified, functional exterior egress under code, with scope discipline and clear documentation.

Portfolio inspections

Prioritize properties, collect photos, and document condition across buildings.

Violation correction

Turn notices and findings into repair scopes with scheduling realities attached.

Fabrication support

Replacement treads, landings, rails, brackets, ladders, stairs, and custom steel.

Closeout documentation

Repair photos, completion notes, and certification follow-up when applicable.

Code-aligned path

From inspection to certified, functional egress

A clear Massachusetts / Boston workflow: inspect for safety, repair what fails, then document certification only when the fire escape can perform.
