The Owner and main inspector of Escape Artists is Jabal Engelhard.  He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the California Maritime Academy, Vallejo, CA and is native to San Francisco.  After ten years as a journeyman Local 39 high-rise building engineer, he met the former owner of Escape Artists, through a mutual friend.  Jubal immediately liked to idea of helping to maintain a safe path of egress from properties and working with metals, so for six months they worked together and the business changed hands.

Almost six years later, the company offers respectful, trustworthy workmanship, with an eye for detail and safety.  The mission of Escape Artists is Making Properties Safer!  Periodic inspection and maintenance of a property’s fire escapes can provide a high degree of safety to residents and help owners and managers avoid unexpected costs.
