What Abide does

Abide, Inc. is a private environmental contracting company founded in 1991 by Maria and Frank Tilli and headquartered in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, with a secondary office in Windsor, Connecticut. The firm provides hazardous material abatement and remediation services—including asbestos removal, lead paint (deleading) removal, mold remediation, vermiculite insulation removal, PCB cleanup, select demolition, and disinfecting—to residential homeowners, property managers, commercial clients, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and municipal agencies across Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut. The business has completed over 6,000 asbestos abatement projects over its operating history and continues to accept both small residential jobs and larger-scale commercial and institutional engagements.

Abide delivers services through licensed, certified field crews using specialized equipment that includes state-of-the-art mobile containment units, HEPA-filtered vacuums and air filtration systems, negative air pressure containment, decrabators and shotblasting equipment for surface preparation, EPA-approved biocides, mold-resistant coatings, and electronic humidity control units. The integrated offering pairs abatement with reconstruction services—licensed construction supervisors, carpenters, and painters restore affected areas after remediation—and the firm operates under multi-state asbestos, lead, and HAZWOPER certifications, an EMR safety rating below industry average, and separate residential and commercial service lines. Differentiated equipment and certified personnel allow the firm to handle complex healthcare and academic settings alongside routine residential work.

The business operates a quote-based professional services model in which free on-site inspections by field-based estimators precede project pricing; projects are billed per engagement. Go-to-market is sales-led, with direct phone (toll-free 800-696-2243) and dedicated website quote-request forms for residential and commercial customers, supplemented by Angi (Angie's List)—where Abide has been a Super Service Award winner every year since 2014—plus realtor-association affiliations and reimbursement-facilitation partnerships with MassSave, the Zonolite Attic Insulation Trust, and the Connecticut Heat Loan Program. Abide is privately held, with no institutional investors, parent company, or external funding disclosed.
