An Experienced Fire Escape Company

We focus on fire escape construction and fire escape inspections. Our highly trained and specialized workforce of AWS certified welders is known for their high-quality work, done quickly, and at a fair price. Our extensive work history throughout the East Coast, including New Jersey, New York, Boston, Pennsylvania, and Washington D.C., has given us the finest workforce in the fire escape industry.

Our Services

  • Our highly trained technicians will conduct a multi-point fire escape inspection covering every component of your current fire escape system. Specifically, they’ll be looking for any rust, damage, or wear and tear. Our thorough fire escape inspection will ensure your fire escape system is safe at every point including all ladder support brackets, pulleys, and cables.

  • Once we’ve completed your fire escape inspection, we’ll be able to recommend the repairs needed to ensure the safety of your fire escape system. We only employ AWS certified welders. Our team is not only skilled at common repairs, but we are also adept at complex repairs. Any issue your fire escape inspection uncovers, we can fix. We will endeavor to maintain as much as the original structure as possible, but any parts that are beyond repair will be cut out and replaced.

  • Following your fire escape inspection and once we’ve completed any of the repairs your fire escape needs, we’ll paint and scrape. Our paint and scrape service ensures your fire escape system meets all fire codes. We start with Electrabrush removal of all loose paint. We’ll apply silicone to all structural connections to prevent water expansion damage and rust. We’ll also reinforce connections to the building to prevent water from seeping into the walls.

  • Do you need a newly built fire escape system? Our in-house engineer will design a system that complies with all national and local construction codes. We will produce shop drawings with the engineer seal needed for permits. All of our fire escape systems are produced in-house and are installed by our team of technicians that specialize in fire escape new construction.

  • Fire escape certification is an integral part of the fire escape inspection and repair process. At Maximum Fire Escapes, all fire escape certification is performed by a licensed professional engineer. All of our systems are certified for the maximum time allowable by law, five years. We will work directly with your local fire marshal and building inspector to ensure your system meets all local and national codes.

What People Are Saying

“I own a residential building in Queens, NY and received a violation by the City for Fire Escapes in need of maintenance and repair. I called a few places and Maximum was BY FAR the most Professional, knowledgeable and Courteous. They came quickly, provided a very thorough explanation of what was needed, provided a very detailed proposal (photos and all), and stood by their quote. Their workers were courteous and cleaned up every day when they were done. There is not one criticism I can give. I have nothing to judge them against as this is the first time I ever had Fire Escape work done, but I will say you will not be disappointed if you use Maximum Fire Escapes.”

“Magnificent fire escape put on our building in Old City Philadelphia. The job was particularly difficult due to the unusual configuration of the building (first landing had to be 1.5 stories high), and Max worked with a great local attorney to get the City to allow various exceptions, saving our Condo Association tens of thousands of dollars (and improving the appearance of the façade). Max and Tome coordinated additional work to sail the fire escape to full certification. Highly recommended! .”

“I manage several properties in Manhattan. After contacting several companies, I was given the runaround and once I contacted Maximum Fire Escapes not only did they exceed my expectations from my first phone call they also came out to inspect literally the next day after I called them. I was VERY pleased and impressed with their professionalism, proposal costs and quality of workmanship..”
