Nicholas Ryan Shears

What this record tells you

Nicholas Ryan Shears holds Florida licence MRSA5705, 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 2026, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 97% of the 134 active mold inspection licences based in the Fort Myers & Cape Coral area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 0 years of continuous licensure.

Nicholas Ryan Shears is one of 43 active mold inspection licences registered to an address in Fort Myers, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Nicholas Ryan Shears additionally holds 3 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.
