Cost of exterior fire escape replacement
looking at a 4-plex with a 3 story fire escape in back that is in bad shape! Never had to price one of these out before. has anyone had the pleasure of having to replace one of these and how much did it cost? It's steel not wood.....

Adding to this thread for future searches as this seems like the best thread on the topic. I'm in the same boat-- need to add fire escape to third floor attic unit in Northwest PA to get additional unit accessible. Quote for aluminum powder coated three story spiral staircase with two landings ran about $15,000. Switching to steel knocked off about $1,000 and opting for non-powder coat saves about $2500. Had stair guy, fire marshall, city inspector come out and make sure it was legit. Completely worth it to get another unit online. Pays for itself with about 2 years of occupancy.
