Ernesto Pestana

What this record tells you

Ernesto Pestana holds Florida licence MRSR4281, a MRSR classification which authorises work as a licensed mold remediator. 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 47% of the 30 active mold remediation licences based in the Spring Hill & Nature Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2022. That is 4 years of continuous licensure.

Ernesto Pestana is one of 8 active mold remediation licences registered to an address in Hudson, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
