John Shippole

What this record tells you

John Shippole holds Florida licence MRSA1783, a MRSA classification which authorises work as a licensed mold assessor. An "R" prefix means the licence is registered, which limits work to the local jurisdictions that accepted it rather than the whole state.

This licence was first issued in 2011, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 4% of the 245 active mold inspection licences based in the West Palm Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 15 years of continuous licensure.

John Shippole is one of 12 active mold inspection licences registered to an address in Wellington, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. John Shippole additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 07/31/2028. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
