Kristy Cestero

What this record tells you

Kristy Cestero holds Florida licence MRSA2568, 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 2017, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 29% of the 89 active mold inspection licences based in the Sarasota & Bradenton area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2022. That is 9 years of continuous licensure.

Kristy Cestero is one of 27 active mold inspection licences registered to an address in Bradenton, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Kristy Cestero 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.
