A Fire Escape Inspection Company Built for Westchester Buildings
Fire Escape Inspection Westchester brings licensed professional engineers and a licensed and insured repair crew together under one name. We inspect, repair and certify fire escapes on multifamily and mixed-use buildings across Westchester County, so owners deal with one team from the first visit to the filed report.
Who We Are at Fire Escape Inspection Westchester
Most Westchester owners know the usual routine. Hire an engineer to write the fire escape report, hunt for an ironworker to fix what it found, then call the engineer back to look again. Every handoff costs weeks, and every gap between them becomes the owner’s problem.
So we put both sides on the same team. Our New York State licensed professional engineers examine and certify the steel, and our own welders and ironworkers repair it. Nothing is handed to a stranger in between.
Fire escapes are our focus. That focus means we know how a counterbalance stair should drop, how an old wall anchor fails inside the brick and what each local fire code official in the county expects to see.

How Our Westchester Engineers and Repair Crew Work Together
Every job runs through the same loop, and the same people stay with it from start to finish.
The Engineer Examines
A licensed engineer walks every level, tests what needs testing and writes down exactly what fails.
The Crew Repairs
Our welders and ironworkers fix each item on that list, nothing more and nothing less.
The Engineer Returns
The same engineer checks the finished work against the original findings.
The Report Is Filed
The signed report goes to your fire code official and a copy goes in your building file.
Because the engineer and the crew talk every day, questions get answered on site instead of over weeks of phone calls.
The People Behind Your Westchester Fire Escape Report
Two trades, one team. Here is who does what on your building.
Licensed Professional Engineers
Our examinations are performed and stamped by New York State licensed professional engineers who examine existing steel structures. They decide what is safe, what needs repair and when a load test is called for, and they sign their name to that judgement.
- Structural examinations and stamped reports
- Load test design and supervision
- Repair scopes and re-inspections
Licensed and Insured Repair Crew
Our crew are welders and ironworkers who work on fire escapes week in and week out. They know old riveted steel, cast iron parts and the brick it hangs on, and they work on occupied buildings without putting tenants at risk.
- Structural welding and anchor work
- Painting and rust removal
- Ladder and counterbalance stair repair
Safety and Insurance on Every Westchester Job
A fire escape job happens on the outside of a building where people live, often above a sidewalk. We plan it that way from the first day.
- Fully licensed and insured for fire escape work
- Certificates of insurance sent to owners and managing agents on request
- Fire watch and extinguishers on hand during welding
- Sidewalks, yards and windows protected below the work
- Lead-safe practices when old paint is disturbed
- Written notice for tenants before work starts
Before any cutting or welding, the crew clears the area of anything that can burn and keeps a fire watch in place after the last weld is done.
What Westchester Owners Can Expect From Us
Four promises that shape every inspection, repair and report we deliver.
Straight Answers
If a repair will do, we say so. Replacement is only recommended when the steel calls for it.
Our Own Crew
The people who fix your fire escape work for us. We do not pass the job to a subcontractor.
The Paperwork Done
Reports, affidavits, permits and re-inspections are handled for you and kept on file.
Respect for Tenants
We give notice, keep the work area safe and clean up before we leave each day.
Three Things We Will Not Do
We will not sign off a fire escape our engineer has not walked
We will not sell a new fire escape when a repair is enough
We will not leave a building with an unsafe fire escape open to tenants
Questions About Our Westchester Fire Escape Company
What owners and managing agents ask before they hire us.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Inspections are performed and stamped by New York State licensed professional engineers, and our repair crew is licensed and insured. Owners and managing agents can request a certificate of insurance before work begins.
Do you only inspect, or do you also repair fire escapes?
We do both, along with full replacement when the steel is past saving. Having one team for all of it is the main reason owners call us.
Which buildings do you usually work on?
Multifamily and mixed-use buildings with exterior fire escapes, from three unit walk-ups to large apartment buildings. Our clients are owners, managing agents and co-op and condo boards.
Do you subcontract any of the work?
No. Our engineers and our own crew handle the inspection and the repairs. If a job ever needs a specialist trade, such as an electrician to move a line near the fire escape, we tell you first.
Where do you work?
We work across Westchester County and cover all of its cities, towns and villages. Call to arrange a site visit at your building.
