Michael John Bente

What this record tells you

Michael John Bente holds Florida licence MRSA4386, 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 2022, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 49% 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 4 years of continuous licensure.

Michael John Bente is one of 23 active mold inspection licences registered to an address in Sarasota, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Michael John Bente additionally holds 4 other active Florida licences 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.
